Our challenging classes encourage each individual student to push the theatrical envelope, so to speak, and enhance their performance skills. Workshops are designed to educate the students to be true “triple threat” performers, offering instruction in vocal performance, choral, dance/movement and drama.
Edmonton Musical Theatre is entering its 41st season. We encourage not only aspiring performers, but also anyone with an interest in musical theatre.

Programs encompass all age ranges and include: Rising Stars Program (five to seven years), Junior Musical Theatre Program (eight to 10 years), Tween Musical Theatre Program (11-12 years), Teen Musical Theatre Program (13-16 years), and the Adult Musical Theatre Workshop and Master Classes (16 years to as young as you feel). Our adult program provides exceptional training with college and university level instructors conducting the master vocal class.
Thousands of avid students and performers have entered through the EMT door throughout our past 40 years. While not all of our students pursue theatre careers, many have entered into the professional fields of stage, television and radio.
