Students selected to the program will participate in intensive classes including musical theater performance, acting, dance, and improvisation, while also attending guest workshops led by professional actors, directors, and casting agents, theater staff said.

“It’s gratifying when [our students] make a name or themselves on Broadway or in Hollywood, but even if they do not, the skills they learn and the work ethic they develop will serve them in any field,” stated Lisa Cooney, Paper Mill Playhouse director of education.
