The Free Theatre’s
2026 Summer Musical Theatre Intensives
The Free Theatre is offering TUITION-FREE musical theatre leadership and skills training courses! All students entering 9th-12th grade in August 2026 are welcome to apply. Free Theatre grads and alumni are also welcome if there is room in the course. Class size is limited to provide individual attention. Registrations are first-come, first served. Once a class is full, a waitlist will start.
It is highly recommended that anyone applying to design take the appropriate intensives as well.**
STEP 1. READ the Course Descriptions below, the Class Calendar for Dates/Times/Locations, and Instructor Bios page.
STEP 2. CHECK all the dates and times against your personal calendar. This is a commitment to attend classes.
STEP 3. REGISTER for classes on the form. You may register for as many as you’d like, just be sure they don’t conflict with each other, or with your work/camp schedules and vacations. Teaching Artists would prefer if you are able to attend ALL class sessions of your chosen courses, so please double check dates. Exceptions may be made in very specific cases. Please note any concerns and conflicts in the section at the end for us to evaluate.
