This is the intensive for the serious ones.

The PTPT Studio Intensive is a five-day deep dive designed for older-teen and adult artists ready to go beyond the basics and train at a higher level. With only 15 spots available, this week is intentionally small — because real growth happens when every person in the room is committed.

At PTPT, we believe it takes more than talent to succeed in this industry. We train the whole artist: technically skilled, professionally grounded, and genuinely great to work with — because those are the performers who keep getting cast.

What You’ll Work On

• Theatre Dance Technique: Push your movement vocabulary further and build the physical stamina and versatility that professional musical theatre demands.

• Scene Study: Workshop scenes with fellow participants and build a concrete, repeatable process so no scene ever feels out of reach.

• Acting through Song: Bring specificity and intention to every song. This isn't about hitting the notes — it's about making someone feel something.

• Musical Theatre Ensemble: Learn the music and choreography of a number from a Broadway show and perform it together at the end of the week.

The Showcase

The intensive culminates in a live showcase on Friday, July 31, open to friends and family. It will be professionally filmed, so you will walk away with performance footage for your reel. The showcase will take place at the end of class between 1 and 4 PM. The exact time will be established closer to the intensive.

Who This Is For

This intensive is designed for artists with prior theatre experience who are ready to train at a higher level. Participants should have a foundation in at least one discipline — acting, singing, or dance — and a genuine drive to grow. If you're newer to theatre, our Pre-Professional Intensive (ages 10–14, July 20–24) may be the right fit.

What’s Included

✦ Live Showcase, featuring material worked on in the intensive (Friday, July 31)

✦ Professionally Filmed Performance Reel
