[quote=Anonymous]I have a student in the MTAS program.  There are 4 levels - all of which require an audition to be admitted:
Musical Theatre Fundamentals - 1 credit (all grades can take but primarily geared toward 9th graders) meets in the middle of the day on alternating days
Musical Theatre Workshop - 1 credit (all grades can take but geared toward 10th graders) meets in the middle of the day on alternating days
Advanced Musical Theatre Workshop - 2 credits (juniors and seniors only) meets at the end of the day every day
Pre-Professional Musical Theatre - 2 credits (seniors only) meets at the beginning of the day every day.

Shuttle transportation is provided for all classes EXCEPT Pre-Professional (assuming the base school meets a minimum number of students attending any class at Fairfax Academy during that class time). Students in Pre-Professional must provide their own transportation.

It is one of the best training programs in the DMV for teenagers who have an advanced interest and skill level in musical theatre. The curriculum goes deeper into all 3 aspects of MT (singing, acting, dance) than any base school curriculum and provides a ton of masterclasses, workshops and discussions with local, regional and national industry experts and teaching artists as well as multiple field trips and performance opportunities throughout the year.

They put on a large-scale musical every year in January/February (which as someone mentioned above just closed yesterday) which is designed to fit inbetween the base schools' Fall and Spring productions so students can participate in all.

The Pre-Professional class has a significant focus on helping students prepare for the college BFA audition process although every year there are multiple students in the class who are not pursuing MT in college.[/quote]
