The Theater Division's curriculum includes all of the components of theater performance trainingacting, speech, dance, theater movement, voice, musicianship, directing, stagecraft, and theater academicsbut the focus on musical theater training is what sets us apart. Students will  take a unique and comprehensive set of courses that include small and large ensemble training, solo interpretation, cabaret, and intensive script and score analysis from the major genres of musical theater.

Every aspect of theater training at The Boston Conservatory focuses on helping the student achieve professional readiness. Students will  also receive professional grooming and skills for auditions and cold readings, development of their repertoire, interviewing skills, and business skillsincluding how to manage agents, casting directors, managers, and contracts. In the senior year, students choose an emphasis in Directing, Music Performance, Dance, or Acting.

As an integral part of the curriculum of each of the performing arts divisions, the Conservatory offers a solid array of liberal arts courses. To further round out their education, students may enroll in related classes at several neighboring humanities-oriented institutions, which make up the Pro Arts Consortium.
