UNO Musical Theatre Announces The Summer Musical Theatre Academy

The UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media and UNO Theatre in partnership with Omaha Public Schools and Omaha South High School announce the Summer Musical Theatre Academy, June 6 through July 3, 2022.

The academy invites all high school musical theatre performers and theatre tech students (including incoming freshman and graduating seniors), to audition and apply for cast and crew positions in performing Fame!

The month-long academy begins Monday, June 6. Rehearsals will be in late afternoons and evening 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. Generous community and university support makes scholarships available.
