Musical Theatre is a tough business. It takes years of dedication and disciplined practice to develop a versitile "triple threat" performer that can sing, act and dance. Training in each of those disciplines must be comprehensive so that the performer can thrive in many different genres of music, theatre and dance. And that is only the beginning. Special skills such as tumbling and proficiently playing a musical instrument are now regularly a part of the working actor's resume. In the BHS Musical Theatre program, we train artists. Rather than copying the style and sound of another performer, our students work to find their own voice, literally and figuratively. They ask questions of the world and themselves and rise to the challenge of discovering their art. They graduate with a strong foundation in Musical Theatre technique and performance as well as a clear understanding of the purpose art and it's influence on history and culture.
