About Music Theatre Conservatory

MTC 2010

“This program will change your life and challenge you to bring out the best of your abilities. I found myself learning new skills and abilities I didn't know I had.”

The Music Theatre Conservatory is an intensive, professional program of classes, rehearsal, and performance experience, offering training in the three disciplines of Music Theater: Acting, Singing, and Dance. The program is an educational/professional development project of Notre Dame de Namur University, offering college credit through the Music and Vocal Arts Department, and Broadway By the Bay, an all-producing Bay Area professional musical theatre company. The core faculty and visiting master teachers are all established professionals with extensive resumes as performers, directors, and educators.

Now in our sixth year at NDNU, the program has expanded to meet growing needs, offering:

A 6-week schedule of classes, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, from June 21 through final showcase on July 30.
Student performances of two musicals in concert as part of the Summer Ralston Performers Series. Rehearsals for these performances will be held in addition to regular class times, from 7-10 pm, Monday through Friday.
College musical theatre credit and on-campus housing are available

The program takes place on the beautiful Notre Dame de Namur University campus in Belmont, California, approximately 25 miles south of San Francisco. The campus is a short drive from the city, the coast, and the wine country. On-campus housing is available.
