Top 3 Benefits of Learning From Our Expert Educational Team
- We're trained educators with professional stage experience providing personalized, inclusive learning.
- Our team of patient, caring instructors inspire positive self-discovery through thoughtful mentorship.
- We've coached students from their first time on stage to Broadway Stars of the Future Nominations and Florida State Thespians Critics Choice Awards, and acceptance into top national programs like Interlochen Center for the Arts, Broadway Arts Alliance, and Joffrey Musical Theater programs.
Founded in 2014, St. Pete MAD's top-rated musical productions empower young performers to build confidence, unlock their talent, and create lasting memories in a supportive community, led by expert educators.
Why Choose St. Pete MAD for Your Summer Musical Experience?
- Star in Mean Girls JR.! St. Pete MAD is among the first in the nation selected to perform this new musical. We've got the king of Disney musicals, The Lion King JR., and Matilda JR., the newest movie musical hit.
- Rehearse with a teaching team of professional acting, vocal, and dance coaches to perform a fully-staged musical production with costumes and sets.
- Grow your confidence and talent in a multi-week rehearsal schedule giving students time needed to learn new stage skills instead of just memorizing lines and where to stand on stage.
- Students in our Bravo Troupe (8yo+) benefit from having the opportunity to step into lead roles because they're not competing with older students.
- Students in our Teen Encore Troupe (13 - 17yo) benefit from being with students of similar age and a more intensive approach to rehearsal.
