- These days, a musical theatre performer needs to be more than a triple threat. The ETSU musical theatre concentration focuses intently on singing, dancing, and acting but also teaches students how to utilize their liberal arts education to their advantage in the field of theatre.
- ETSU theatre students receive many opportunities to perform—not just in musicals but revues, class presentations, voice studio classes, master classes and summer programs.
- The ability of our students to involve themselves in critical thinking and a broad range of academic classes provides them the tools to be more informed, intelligent performers. With world-class faculty and innovative programming, musical theatre students at ETSU leave equipped with the skills for a productive career.
