About the program

The two-year professional training program offered at IAMT is one of the country’s most comprehensive training programs for aspiring musical theatre performers—led entirely by working industry professionals with Broadway, television, film, and professional dance credits. The faculty doesn’t just teach the industry. They are the industry. Students train 22 - 29 hours per week across acting, singing, and dance, with integrated coursework in film, TV, and voice-over. Every student receives individualized coaching alongside a curriculum that builds real-world readiness: repertoire development, industry networking, and performance opportunities with current Broadway professionals. Originate roles in new works with current Broadway directors. Dance for working national tour choreographers as they set their choreography before moving into their rehearsal process in what is called "pre-production." Audition individually for a new agent nearly every day for an entire month during Agent April. Perform for leading Broadway casting directors, not just once-- but every semester. This alternative to a B.F.A. offers a more direct investment towards your dream. Younger students ages 14 - 19 spend the summer with IAMT during the Summer Intensive, granting high school students the opportunity to work with IAMT's elite industry faculty.
