Advanced Education Programs

These are intensive study programs in musical theater for students who plan to attend college with a major in the performing arts.

We offer two different course selections:

• PMT's Teen Performance Intensive program, open to all teens ages 13 - 18

• The half day Pre-College Program (PCP), open to high school students ages 15 - 18

These advanced education programs offer a unique opportunities for students to remain full time high school students while still receiving superior, comprehensive musical theater training from a dedicated and caring professional faculty.
