Musical Theatre: Professional Practice (16+)

Application deadline Monday 1st July 2024 

Entry for this course is by audition only, via video submissions. Deadline for application is the 1st of July, however applications will be approved as they are received – so we recommend applying as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Please see Entry Requirements tab for further information about the supporting materials which are required for application.

Payment of the balance of the tuition fee is payable once applicants have been notified that they have been successful in their application to the course and completed their booking.

This course is aimed at performers aged 16+ who have previous experience in Musical Theatre performances.

Applicants should prepare a video recording of themselves performing one monologue (no longer than 1 minute) and one song from any musical theatre repertoire (1-2 minutes in length – we recommend one verse and chorus) to upload when applying.

The tutors would like to emphasise the importance of sharing audition material which shows you at your very strongest.

If you have any problems attaching files please email – summerschools@rcs.ac.uk

Successful applicants will be invited to a groups zoom call to meet your tutors and the rest of your peers before the summer school.

This will be helpful for tutors to think about suitable repertoire ahead of meeting you all in person. Further preparation guidance will be given during this call.

The course runs Monday 22 July – Saturday 27 July, from 10am to 5pm.

There will be a sharing of the work on Saturday 27 July for invited family and friends. Performance times and how to obtain tickets will be confirmed nearer the time.

Summer Accommodation

We are pleased to welcome students from across the world to our Summer Schools. Our course fees do not include accommodation or food, and these should be organised by the student. Our campus is located in Glasgow city centre, and you can find the addresses below.

We recommend Base Glasgow, as purpose-built accommodation for Conservatoire students, with Rehearsal Rooms, Practice spaces and Dance Studios. Base Glasgow is perfectly suited for our summer school students; both safe and secure, with 24/7 staff presence and only 3 mins walk from our main Renfrew Street building, keeping travel costs to a minimum.

Please note that Short Courses staff are not affiliated with BASE or on site outwith the summer school teaching hours, and therefore cannot take responsibility for students outside of these hours.

Alternatively, there are plenty of hotels, hostels, and b’n’b options available. We are located close to transport links should you wish to stay outside the city centre.
