ABOUT MTC

MTC - The Triple Threat Competition

MTC is the competition that celebrates Triple Threat performers' multifaceted artistry.  MTC 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...
