UNOTheatre, the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media, in partnership with Omaha South High School invites all high school musical theatre performers and technical theatre students (including incoming freshman and graduating seniors), to audition and apply.

The Summer Musical Theatre Academy runs June 5 through July 2, 2023.

Register to be a part of the UNOTheatre Summer Musical Theatre Academy today! Featuring Footloose, the Musical directed by Vincent J. Orduna. (Rights pending)
The month-long academy begins June 5. Rehearsals will be in late afternoons and evenings, Monday through Friday, to allow for summer work schedules. We can accommodate students participating in both NHSTA and ITF. Rehearsals and classes take place in the Weber Fine Arts Building on the Dodge Street campus. Selection is based on potential and talent demonstrated in auditions and through applications. This academy is tuition free because of generous community and university support.

About the Summer Musical Theatre Academy

The SMTA offers opportunities to learn from and work with teaching professionals in a supportive environment. The members of the academy will form the cast and crew of a new production of a popular musical. Academy performers will rehearse 5 days a week from 5-10 p.m. with the creative team and will work in masterclasses with Broadway performer Q Smith. Academy technicians will work with the design and production teams in the scene shop, the costume shop, on stage management, lighting, sound, and props crews. Workshops in all disciplines of musical theatre performance and technical theatre will be offered. The SMTA encourages responsibility, ownership, teamwork, and personal excellence.
