Musical theatre

You'll need to be versatile, talented and well-trained to be cast in shows once you're out in the real world. Studying at Griffith, you'll learn to integrate the varied skills of an actor, a dancer and a musician into your roles. You'll be able to deliver performances that bring to life the combined vision of the directors, musical directors and choreographers you'll work with.

Our program is delivered by working industry practitioners who provide professional, relevant, innovative and supportive instruction. To ensure you become proficient in singing, acting and dancing, you'll undertake intensive practical training covering:

• acting and improvisation
• voice and speech
• singing (solo and ensemble)
• dance and movement
• audition technique and performance.
