Musical Theater 2 is an 11-week one-hour acting and singing class for students in grades 5-12 who are ready for a more in-depth study of singing, acting, and dance. Under the direction of our Musical Theater Conservatory Director, K. Doug Miller, students can continue to participate in the program yearly, progressing to more advanced class options and even some performance opportunities.
Prerequisite: Students must have completed Musical Theater Level 1.
Curriculum includes:
- "How to Act a Song" at the next level.
- Musical theater choreography.
- Audition techniques and resumes.
- Two-part harmony and music theory.
- Basic sight singing and ear training.
- Solo, duet, and group singing.
- More challenging improvisation, monologues, scenes, and character study.

Musical Theater students are encouraged to enroll in the same class for both Fall and Spring sessions. Students in this class are invited to participate in our Next Stop Broadway Showcase on February 27 & March 1, 2025. A Showcase Fee will be due in January 2025 for students participating in the Showcase. Participation in the Next Stop Broadway Showcase is not required for Musical Theater classes but is highly encouraged for this upper-level class.
Class Requirements
Detailed information about the requirements for each class can be found in the "About" section of the respective course.
Dress Code
All students are required to wear closed-toe sneakers during school hours. Sandals, flip-flops, Crocs, and other open-toed footwear are not permitted.
Sick Policy
The health and safety of our students are a top priority. To prevent the spread of illnesses, we ask that sick students remain at home. If a student becomes ill during class, they will be isolated from the other students, and their caregiver will be contacted immediately to pick them up. Students must be symptom-free without medication before returning.
- COVID-19 Considerations: In addition to general illness prevention, we recommend the following for students experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or exposure:
- Stay home: Students who exhibit symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should isolate at home.
- COVID-19 testing: If your child has had symptoms or has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should consider giving them a COVID-19 test before returning to class.
- Follow local guidelines: We will adhere to local and state health department guidelines regarding COVID-19 protocols.
Late Policy
Students must be picked up promptly at the end of each session. Parents and guardians are expected to arrive on time to ensure the safety and well-being of their children.
Late Pick-Up
A late fee will be charged for students not picked up by the specified class end time.
Refunds
Enrollments are processed on a first-come, first-served basis in the order forms and payments are received. You will receive an immediate notification if a class you want is full and you have been placed on a waiting list. Otherwise, DCT will confirm your class placement after the registration has been processed.
Full payment is required for enrollment. Refunds less than $50 are available with notice of withdrawal up to two weeks before class. There are refunds after that point.
Class Cancellation Policy
DCT reserves the right to cancel any class due to unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a cancellation, students will receive a refund. In the case of inclement weather, DCT cannot guarantee that missed classes can be made up.
