Whether your group is brand new or has been working together for years, we adapt to you.

Applied Musical Theatre is about more than just a performance. We use the storytelling, rhythm, and collaboration of musical theatre as tools to improve mental and physical wellbeing at tell a community’s story.

It’s powerful, evidence-based, and, above all, incredibly fun.

We work flexibly around your schedule, and venue and funding requirements to make the magic happen.
