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 fifth 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 22 through final showcase on July 31.
- 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 6:30-9:30 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.
