Musical Theatre News
MT Spring Musical: The BTW Musical Theatre Department is thrilled to announce this year’s spring production: Sister Act! Save the dates—performances will take place May 7th, 8th, and 9th in the Black Box Theatre.
Auditions will take place on Monday, January 26th (Vocal Music Audition) and Wednesday, January 28th (Call Backs and Dance Call). Auditions will be held during school hours and incorporated into the MT class, so no additional time outside of class is required.
MT students interested in continuing in the Musical Theatre program for the 2026–2027 school year must re-audition. The Musical Theatre Department is made up of BTW students from all conservatories who share a love of singing, acting, and dancing. Open to rising juniors and seniors only, the Musical Theatre Ensemble is a fun, dynamic, and selective group of performers. If your child is ready to challenge themselves, grow as an artist, and take the stage again next year, we can’t wait to see them at auditions!
For questions about BTW Musical Theatre or ways to help support upcoming productions, please contact Shelley Kirby at sykintx@gmail.com.
