Institute School-Year Advanced Training - Village Theatre

Village Theatre Institute Auditions

Ready to level up? Village Theatre Institute is a school-year program for students who want more—more training, more artistry, more of everything theater has to offer. Whether you’re headed for a career in musical theater or simply hungry to go deeper, Institute delivers. Students meet once a week (M, T, or W) from 4:15-9:00 p.m.* for advanced work in singing, acting, and dancing, plus specialty workshops designed to push your artistry further than you thought possible. This is where passionate students become formidable artists.
