Villains & Anti-Heroes: Musical Theatre Ensemble Winter Showcase 2026 – FRIDAY

From Broadway anti-heroes to Disney antagonists – and even pop songs that revel in villainy – this session dives into the dramatic world of the “bad guys.” Students will explore why villains often get the BEST songs, the BOLDEST choices, and the most UNFORGETTABLE moments on stage! Through acting, singing, and movement, we’ll uncover how these characters are often misunderstood rather than truly evil, celebrating their complexity, their motivations, and the powerful stories they bring to life!

Our Musical Theatre Ensemble (MTE) classes will focus on each of the three main concentrations of musical theater; voice, dance, and acting. Great emphasis will be placed on recognizing the relevance of each discipline as it relates to musical theater and preparing students for auditions and musical theatre performances.
Each class period will be devoted to- 1) vocal development, 2) improving acting skills, 3) learning choreography; all to help students develop musical theatre skills. The culmination of this course will result with students gaining a broader understanding of musical theater from their participation in a fun and exciting musical theatre performance experience that will increase their abilities and help them to become well rounded performers.

About Triple Threat Ensemble

Act, Sing & Dance! Triple Threat Training Program is an audition-only 10-week program on Tuesday nights. To join the Milton Theatre’s Triple Threat Training Program, students must be dual-enrolled in Musical Theatre Ensemble for that session. 
A key term in musical theatre training is learning to be a ‘triple threat performer’, which means the ability to act, sing and dance to a high standard. The Triple Threat classes at the Milton Theatre bring these three disciplines together into a unified whole. The emphasis in these classes is to strengthen each of the elements equally to create a well-rounded Triple Threat performer. Only 10 students are accepted into the program each session
