The Trentino Music Festival is committed to Gender Fluidity in theatre casting
The Musical Theatre Performance Studio is a four-week professional-level training program for college students and advanced high school seniors. This immersive program offers musical theatre students a unique opportunity to study under the guidance of Broadway professionals and noted academics. The intense yet supportive atmosphere, along with daily instruction, creates an environment that encourages growth and takes your skills to the next level. Perform in galas, concerts and staged musical theatre productions before a European audience. Create lasting memories through travel to one of the most stunning corners of the world. You’ll gain new perspective by spending four weeks in a different and vibrant culture, all the while making new friends and professional connections.
PRODUCTIONS – Each summer the festival presents a fully-staged production in addition to a concert production that allows for all participants to be featured in a production. For the 2023 season we will present a fully-staged production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods. Additional titles under consideration for concert productions include Sweet Charity, Six The Musical, Chicago, and Seussical. This multi production approach allows all participants to gain experience, and to build their resumes in a professional festival atmosphere.
EXCEPTIONAL FACULTY ARTISTS – Our faculty artists are from leading musical theatre programs and have extensive Broadway, National Tour, and Regional Theatre experience. As educators, they bring passion to the training process and are committed to helping each student cultivate their unique strengths and develop marketable performance skills.
