The two-part partnership aims to: (1) provide dedicated seminars with City Center staff; (2) offer access to both Encores! and dance production processes.
Students accepted into the program will attend 3 free master classes at City Center and a tech rehearsal observation of either an upcoming Encores! musical or dance program. Below are the confirmed events:

Mon, Nov 10, 5-7:00pm
--Establishing Your Artistic Brand
Thu, Feb 26, 5-7:00pm
You can sign up for all three masterclasses but we encourage you to attend at least two. Opportunities to observe a tech rehearsal will be determined soon.
