MUSICAL THEATRE WORKS is a unique Theatre Academy and Performance Company for students in grades K-12. MTW offers an opportunity for students to learn about and experience all aspects of 'real theatre' taught by professional Directors, Designers and Instructors. The schedule for MTW is published early, but can be changed, as necessary, as the season progresses. Because not every student is in every scene, some students need to wait until their scene is being rehearsed. We endeavor to not call students to rehearsals unless they are needed. The time commitment for MTW can be considerable if the student is part of the Main Stage Performane Company which produces full-scale, full-length Broadway Musicals that take 4-5 months to prepare. \r

The casting is based on what each student brings to their audition and how well prepared they are. Our Directors offer suggestions and advice during the auditions so that the students can do the best possible job. As in 'real theatre', roles are assigned based on a student's experience level, their audition, their appropriateness for the character, and their potential to succeed in the role. Every student is cast in a specific role.\r

MTW is proud of the level of instruction that is offered and the broad spectrum of students that are attracted to the Company. With its considerable outreach program, MTW's diversity has grown and reached so many talented students throughout the Bay Area.
