Humphreys School of Musical Theatre
 

. . "We learn what thrills us with the risk, what warms us with applause, what beckons us to lean just over the edge of the familiar, what comforts us with harmony and resolution."

Welcome to the Humphreys School of Musical Theatre and its Lessons for Life. Each of us, the naturally gifted, the novice, the committed performer, gains a wealth of enjoyment and core life values from the experience of immersion in the performing arts. Since 1972, the Humphreys School of Musical Theatre (the official training wing of Theatre Under The Stars) has provided a superb and thrilling forum for musical theatre training for children and adults.

Housed in the TUTS Studios at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, its year-round schedule is conducted by an outstanding professional faculty and renowned resident artists who inspire and train students in every aspect of musical theatre, from vocal technique and choreography to costume design and prop construction.

Unlike traditional classroom learning, in the performing arts "hard" seems to imply a challenge rather than a barrier, an invaluable life lesson.

"When they go to bed tonight, every one of them is going to feel likes they accomplished something."
