The Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theatre at Binghamton University is a four-year progression of classes that will give you the foundation you need in acting, singing, and dancing: the three skills at the heart of this art form.
In addition to performance courses in a wide range of techniques, you will audition for main stage and studio productions ranging from the classical to the contemporary, including musicals, plays, and dance productions.
Internships, Research Opportunities, and More
To hone their skills, students in the Musical Theatre BFA program take part in juried performances at the end of each semester such as a studio voice recital, or a slate of audition material.
The Theatre Department is an active member of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF), which means a representative within the network sees our faculty-directed productions to review and recognize students for outstanding work in performance, stage management, and design.
Students are encouraged and coached to audition at unified auditions, such as the A1 Conference, StrawHat Auditions and the New England Theatre Conference, to procure summer employment at summer stock theatre companies, theme parks, cruise ships or other performance venues.
