Summary
**Why choose this course**
As a performer you will be passionate about musical theatre, creative and able to form a deep connection with storytelling, the characters you play and your audience.
Our MA in Musical Theatre builds on our longstanding international reputation in musical theatre. Across the year you will work on acting, singing, dance and all aspects of performance, enabling you to enhance your skills and launch your career with confidence.
Guildford School of Acting (GSA) is one of the UK’s leading accredited drama schools, providing dedicated conservatoire training in a purpose-built environment.

This intensive MA in Musical Theatre is designed to equip participants in the ‘triple-threat’ musical theatre disciplines of acting, singing and dancing.
We place a strong emphasis on working on your practical skills (taught within technical group and one-to-one classes) together with a dedicated focus on your professional development. We provide you with opportunities to combine these skills into musical theatre rehearsal projects and public performances.
In addition, you'll attend seminars in contextual and theoretical studies, alongside masterclasses led by industry professionals in audition technique and widening your repertoire.
