Amas Musical Theatre is a 41-year-old multicultural, non-profit performing arts organization dedicated to the creation, development and production of new musicals and to the training of young performing artists. The Academy, named for our founder Rosetta LeNoire ("Mother Winslow" on Family Matters) is designed for teenagers of all backgrounds between the ages of 14-20. Students are accepted into the program by auditions held in October 2009.
The
Rosetta LeNoire Musical Theatre Academy meets on Saturdays 10:00-4:30 for classes in singing, acting, and dance, and related professional performance classes. An Open House Workshop presentation is held in January for families and friends. In May of 2010, the Academy students perform a fully-produced Off-Off-Broadway Musical. Classes are held in midtown Manhattan.
30 students are selected on the basis of talent, potential, ability and the desire to excel in the performing arts. Classes are conducted by established Broadway theatre professionals and offer the opportunity for students to develop their talents in a nurturing and supportive environment. In addition to scheduled classes, special guest artists meet and work with students.
Tuition for the Academy is $800 for 25 weeks of instruction and two-week Off-Broadway production!
Full and partial scholarships are available for students eligible for tuition assistance.
