AUDITIONS: August 10th, 2024 at Hale Orem Studios from 9am to 12pm
No fee will be charged until after you are accepted into the Company.

All the world’s a stage, and students in our MDT companies take a deeper dive into the foundational techniques and fundamentals of musical theater, taught by some of the best working professionals around in the state. Students in 7th-12th grade (divided by age groups) develop a broad range of Musical Theatre skills, including acting, singing, dancing, character development, production design, and much more in bi-weekly classes. To culminate the class experience, students share what they learn in productions on our stage at the brand new Ruth Theater. 

**Please note that in addition to regular class times, there will be some Friday and/or Saturday rehearsals. You’ll also receive a schedule for your specific class once you are registered. Attendance at tech and dress rehearsals and all performances is mandatory in order for your child to participate in the class.**

MDT Companies are a brand new offering for Hale Academy, and are expected to be in high demand. Students are selected following an audition process (August 10th, 2024) that looks at their performing abilities, yes, but also considers other factors such as availability and commitment to the program. These classes will be audition-based, meaning that not everyone who auditions will be cast. Auditions for these classes are open to the general public, not just current Academy students. Casting decisions are at the sole discretion of each production team, and there’s no guarantee of being cast in any specific semester. We expect there to be a great turnout for these auditions, and it’s impossible to foresee what casting will look like. If it doesn’t work for you to join us in this class, we encourage you to join us for one of our other fantastic musical theater classes.

When: 

• Session 1 (Ages 12-14): Mondays & Fridays 3:45-5:45pm; Aug 19th-Dec 13th – Jan 6th-May 16th

• Session 2 (Ages 15-18): Mondays & Fridays 3:45-5:45pm; Aug 19th-Dec 13th – Jan 6th-May 16th

Where: Hale Studios (537 North 1200 West in Orem)  Aug-Dec | The Ruth (401 S Pleasant Grove Blvd. ) Jan-May

Cost: $125/month, $325 production fee.
