The UArts Pre-College Summer Institute Acting + Musical Theater programs

These are the country’s most dynamic summer programs for high school students who are passionate about performance. The exciting and immersive programs enable you to experience what performing arts college and instructors are like. You’ll also earn three full college credits upon completion.

The Acting + Musical Theater programs are designed for the serious student performer, and give you a preview of the professional training program at the University of the Arts. We focus on developing your craft as you acquire fundamental performance skills. The program is challenging and rigorous, so you should have some previous theatrical training before participating in the program.

Located in vibrant downtown Philadelphia,

UArts is footsteps away from world-famous museums, entertainment venues, summer concerts and activities, and opportunities to learn, grow and be inspired.

As a student here, you’ll be respected as an independent thinker and treated as an adult in a supportive environment. You will have the opportunity to hang out with other talented students from around the world. And you’ll elevate your talents by learning new forms and techniques, helping you to stand out from other artists and performers.

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK at our program, call us, and even visit. We think you’ll find that the UArts Summer Institute is an experience that no other performing arts college in the country can match.
