Can you sing, dance and act? Do you dream of a career in musical theatre or cabaret productions? WAAPA’s internationally renowned three-year Bachelor of Arts (Music Theatre) provides intensive technical and practical training in the areas of singing, dance, acting and musicianship.

You’ll be taught by WAAPA’s world-class staff whose expertise has been honed through extensive professional practice. You’ll also work with leading industry creatives and test your skills in a range of in-house and public productions.

In your final year, you’ll undertake industry-readiness training: practicing audition skills, developing a digital portfolio, and preparing a final showcase to launch your career post-graduation.

As a triple-threat performer, you’ll join our acclaimed alumni working on music theatre and cabaret productions around the world as performers, choreographers, writers, directors and producers.

WAAPA also offers a one-year, full-time music theatre course delivered under the Vocational Education and Training (VET) framework:

  • CUA50220 - Diploma of Musical Theatre

In this course, you’ll develop core skills in acting, singing and dancing – and how to integrate all three – through highly practical classes. You’ll gain an understanding of music theory, devising and theatre making, with plenty of performance opportunities to try out your new skills. Graduates from this VET course may seek further study in a Bachelor-level course, such as WAAPA's BA (Music Theatre), or move directly into the performing arts industry.
