Master Classes
The Minty Organization's Master Classes are designed to help high school students learn the tips and tools of the trade from industry professionals.
Attend our Master Classes and learn from seasoned Broadway professionals on what it takes to improve and master your craft. Students will focus on style, technique, and performance quality with Broadway performers. Participants are encouraged to bring audition songs and participate in a mock audition.
Following the conclusion of our 2018 Master Class, all students will attend a matinee performance of Wagner College Theatre's "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson." Students will also be treated to a private talk back with the cast regarding the production.
The Minty Organization's Master Classes and Educational Programs are made possible by a special grant from Sen. Andrew Lanza and the NY State Education Department.
