Extraordinary Educational Experiences in Musical
Theatre and Drama
Drama Master Class / Workshop
Serious drama groups get the rare opportunity to work directly with a leading New York director and acting coach as they present an intense drama workshop. Groups take part in a two-hour drama program focusing on any one of the following: monologue, improvisation, or stage-combat. Time is allotted for the featured artists to share details of their own career stories and answer questions from students.
The Art of Improv
This two hour workshop focuses on the basics of improv, through games and exercises. Concepts include spontaneity, listening, storytelling, status, and making one’s partner look good. This fun and exciting class helps to teach how to think on your feet, and be funny doing so. No prior experience necessary!
The Business of Show Business
Students discuss the important details about what is needed to plan for a career on Broadway. The guest speaker is chosen by your group from one of the following areas of the showbiz industry: a cast member from one of Broadway’s current hits; a member of the creative team of a current show; a leading NYC casting director; a company manager or a technical director from a current show. This program will provide students with a “behind-the-scenes peek” of the steps needed to make a career on Broadway a reality.
Broadway Bound / The Audition Process
Just how do you get to be a member of a Broadway cast? What are you expected to do at an audition? What is the process all about and how do you prepare? Students get an inside look at how current Broadway stars get their parts. Two wonderful and charismatic Broadway veterans, with the help of their vocal coach and accompanist, will present an exciting song and dance hour illustrating the depth of their talents and their personal approach to important auditions.
Broadway Song & Dance
Groups get into the Broadway “state-of-mind” during this 2-hour clinic, where they learn an authentic Broadway Song and Dance combination from a Broadway “triple threat” (dancer, actor, singer) and a professional New York City vocal coach. The group rehearses and perfects the vocals and choreography to a classic Broadway routine.
Meet-The-Artist
Groups enjoy a fascinating hour of performance and conversation with a leading artist from the Broadway, Off-Broadway, or Lincoln Center show of their choice. Backstage anecdotes and personal success stories offer inspiration.
Private After-Show Broadway Cast Party
The show may be over but the night has just begun! Forget waiting around at the stage door – instead have the stars come out to meet you! Experience this truly once in a lifetime experience as you mix and mingle with the individuals who bring Broadway to life! Enjoy an hour-long party (11pm – 12 Midnight) in the reserved, private area of a fun midtown restaurant. Snacks and refreshments or a light dinner will be served. We will arrange for one cast member per every 15 students. This program can also be arranged as a pre-theater cast party that includes dinner.

Student Performing Arts Tours That Bring Theatre Lessons to Life
At Educational Performance Tours, we turn a trip to New York City into the most powerful rehearsal your students will ever have. Our student theatre tours to NYC take the skills young thespians build at school and put them to work in the theatre capital of the world – where they can ask questions, take masterclasses alongside working professionals, and see firsthand the city that brings a Broadway show to life!
Every EPT performance tour is built around your specific program. We design each itinerary around your educational goals, your students’ interests, and your budget, so every tour component has a purpose. Whether your performers want hands-on Broadway workshops, theatre tech education, acting and audition training, or an inside look at careers on and off the stage, our team helps you choose experiences that teach as much as they inspire.
Your students come home with more than memories. They come home as stronger, more confident performers.
What Can Your Theatre Group Experience?
With EPT, students don’t just watch theatre performances. They learn it from the inside out, as our NYC theatre programs turn every question into a learning opportunity:
- Drama workshops focused on monologues, improvisation, or stage combat.
- Improv exercises that develop listening, spontaneity, and storytelling.
- Audition sessions offering insight into preparation and professional expectations.
