The Catholic University of America

Welcome to the Musical Theatre Division

Our largest undergraduate program, the Musical Theatre degree focuses on making our students complete performers: singers, actors, and dancers.

Graduates go on to perform in regional theatre, on and off Broadway, and with regional and national touring companies.

 

Check out our students in action as they participate in dance classes, and performances! We offer courses in ballet, jazz, modern, tap, and theater dance.
