The Open Jar Institute Summer Intensive is an incredible one-week experience that gives aspiring performers a firsthand look at the world of professional musical theatre. Students have the opportunity to train with Broadway professionals, develop their skills, and gain valuable insight into what it takes to pursue a career in the performing arts.
We have had several NOVAPA students attend this intensive over the years, and we truly believe it is an outstanding opportunity for young performers who are passionate about musical theatre and interested in exploring what their future in the industry could look like.
