About

Our mission at The Institute for American Musical Theatre is to educate, train, and nurture a select group of students who possess the desire and drive to sustain a career in the field of musical theatre, film/TV and any other live performance genre. We strongly believe that theatre is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and that view is central to our student’s educational experience.

Our curriculum is founded upon the three main disciplines of the art form: acting, dancing, and singing. Our teaching methods focus on cultivating artists who will be competitive in today's industry. Our comprehensive curriculum is unique in both content and approach. We offer smaller, leveled classes, which result in dramatically more individual attention. Over the course of our two-year program, the curriculum will cover the many influential styles that have shaped American theatre into what it is today. We also supplement with industry-specific classes (auditions, career and financial management, etc).,

The faculty we hire to deliver this curriculum is entirely comprised of professional singers, actors, and dancers, all of whom have had a career in theatre or film/TV and in many cases, are currently working in Broadway shows. Facilitating a direct connection to what is happening on today's New York stages is at the heart of what we do. Attending IAMT means not only receiving the best training from the best trainers and performers, but also being able to start your professional network in the center of Broadway.

Finally, it is essential to also point out that IAMT recognizes that life is wider and deeper than what happens on the boards or in front of the camera. We realize that students are choosing to spend very important years of development with us and we take that incredibly seriously. We are just as focused as fostering sensitive, reflective, happy human beings as developing top-tier talent.
