MTC - The Triple Threat Competition
MTC Triple Threat Competition sets the stage for aspiring Triple Threats to demonstrate their talent in all three disciplines: singing, acting, and dancing. In the past, Musical Theatre Studios have attended Dance Competitions with limited opportunities in vocal and acting disciplines, often competing in the same category as dance groups; no more...
MTC is THE competition for students whose talents lie in the art of Musical Theatre. We are thrilled to provide a platform where these extraordinary talents can thrive and be recognized.
