Musical Theatre. The Fordham Summer Musical Theatre Workshop offers five weeks for students to focus entirely on their passion. With class time divided to address the multiple disciplines of musical theatre, you will hone your skills in song, spoken dialogue and dance in one intensive session. Without the pressure of other academic requirements, you will be able to release into the exploration of the craft.
New York. Do the work, then take in some of the most accomplished performers in the world. The Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway shows are your means to witness the spectrum of theatrical forms and performances. Watch how the techniques you learn in class are embodied on stage. Discuss with your peers and teachers your discoveries and then push beyond your own theatrical comfort zone.
Professional contacts. Our teachers have years of professional experience. Knowing both the business and artistic faces of acting, they share ways to break down habits and create new entrances into character. Described as "outstanding" with an "amazing amount of knowledge to share," the instructors provide new tools for you to use on your professional journey.

You are thinking ahead. Maybe you are considering shifting majors, applying to graduate school, or moving to New York after college to begin your career. The Fordham Summer Musical Theatre Workshop is a segue into an environment that may be unfamiliar to you. Ask questions of industry leaders and test the waters of a new geography. The workshop is a step towards making and sustaining a life-long career.
The bottom line: College can be stressful. The summer is the time to pursue what you love in a place you'll love. Summed up by a past participant, this is a perfect opportunity for "learning about . . . personal habits while acting and discovering new ways to push past them . . . to be comfortable with myself."
