The KCD Singing for Stage Intensive combines the best of college-level instruction in singing and acting for the musical theater stage. The program is designed for students ages 12 through 19 (or rising 6th through 12th) who are working toward college auditions, building a performance portfolio, or simply considering a deeper dive into the world of the musical stage. Our nationally recognized faculty work with students on audition techniques, dance and movement, fight choreography, score analysis, song interpretation, and promotional material preparation during this two-week intensive. Students entering their senior year will also be offered the opportunity to complete all the requirements for the GetAcceptd.com Musical Theatre Common Prescreen Requirements, the prescreening used by many college BFA programs, during their residency.

Each morning begins with a group seminar such as Musical Theater Style, Surviving a Dance Call, Dissecting the Score, and The Healthy Belt: How to last in the business. All students will also receive two 30-minute private voice lessons with one of the resident voice faculty. Below is a typical day's schedule:

Week 1 (May 26-29) culminates in a cabaret performance. Week 2 culminates in a scenes and monologues showcase.

Singing for Stage Intensive is a two-week non-residential program. The pricing is for tuition only and does not include meals or housing (though it does include a daily snack).

Admission to the program is open to anyone in the greater Louisville community or anyone who can get themselves here either by commuting or by making their own room and board arrangemnts.

Tuition for the two-week program: $950
