During initial assessments, students will perform for their peers and faculty before classes begin. This is not an audition, but rather a chance for the faculty to get to know the students and for the students to get more comfortable performing in front of new people and peers. Musical Theater and Musical Theater 2 students will also have initial dance assessments to place them in the appropriate level for dance classes. Dance assessments are the only assessments that are used for placement purposes.

During final assessments, students will perform for their peers and faculty in a mock-audition style. This is a chance for students to share the work they have done throughout the program.  Musical Theater and Musical Theater 2 students will also have final dance assessments. 

After the program, each student will receive a detailed, written report from the faculty discussing their work in assessments and classes throughout the program, strengths, suggestions for continued study, and repertoire recommendations.
