UCI-New York Satellite Program

Are you interested in discovering what the life of an actor is like in the “Big Apple?” Would you benefit from a month-long study of the Broadway theatre world?

Are you an actor that sings? A dancer that acts? A singer who dances? A would-be, could-be, triple threat?

UCI’s New York Satellite Program in Music Theatre, now in its 26th season, may be right for you. This full-time, full-credit program runs for four weeks, from March 24th through April 22nd, within UCI’s undergraduate Spring curriculum, featuring daily classes and workshops from 9:00 to 6:00 with a faculty comprised of Broadway musical directors, choreographers, actors, singers and dancers. We also have workshops with casting directors and agents from some of the best theatres and agencies in the business, take individual classes at Broadway Dance Center, and arrange talkbacks with Broadway and off-Broadway casts after attending their shows as a group. Auditions are held each Fall quarter during the first week of classes for this important program. Students live in Manhattan apartments (4-5 participants per apartment), and enjoy nightly and weekend opportunities to see plays, musicals, ballets museums, and everything that New York has to offer. Past performance workshop directors have included Broadway and off-Broadway notables Nicole Fosse, Uta Hagen, Anne Reinking, Thommie Walsh, Baayork Lee, Randy Skinner, Jenn Colella, James Calleri, Kyle Gonyea, Maribeth Griffith, Jamiebeth Margolis, Jenn Foote, Patti Wilcox, Rick Spaans, Tammy Holder, Brian Blythe, Michael Kubala and Josh Bergasse.
