(A887) 3 Year Ontario College Advanced Diploma • Main Windsor Campus
If you have a passion for the performing arts, this is the opportunity to build your skills in “the triple threat” - singing, dancing and acting. St. Clair’s Music Theatre Performance program will afford students the opportunity to learn from accredited professionals and master performers who bring their industry expertise to the classroom. St. Clair offers newly renovated studio rehearsal space and the backdrop of the professional 1,200 seat Chrysler Theatre in the new St. Clair Centre for the Arts on the waterfront in downtown Windsor.
As a graduate of this program, the stage will be set for great career opportunities in summer festivals, nightclubs, professional theatre, cruise lines, industry shows and other venues where singing, acting and dance combine to entertain audiences.
