The Musical Theatre program at Santa Susana High School of the Arts allows students to develop and further their knowledge and training of singing, dancing and acting techniques, as well as self discipline and a professional attitude needed for college and work in the entertainment industry.  Many SSHS graduates have continued their theatre education in many prestigious universities and private institutions such as PACE, Julliard, NYU, TISH, AMDA, FIDM, Syracuse University, Boston Conservatory (to name a few) and some finding success in the professional entertainment industry with television and film, private theatre companies and Broadway.  There is also opportunity to certificate and graduate with high honors in Musical Theatre in addition to the diploma.
