Thank you IAMT!

 We're incredibly proud to highlight that three of our MTCA 2025 students, who received a scholarship to attend the IAMT Summer Intensive Program in New York through the MTF Educational Foundation's dedicated relationships, are currently attending. We're honored to spotlight their journey and can't wait to see what they achieve!


We are dedicated to continuing to create vital educational opportunities in Musical Theatre for students nationwide. We do this by raising funds for MTCA scholarships and partnering with higher education programs, all to cultivate the next generation of performers and industry professionals. We firmly believe that educational art is far more than just an opportunity to perform; it's about fostering confidence, collaboration, and community.


A huge thank you to everyone who donates to our nonprofit and champions art education. And a special shout-out to IAMT for providing our talented MTCA students with this amazing opportunity.

About MTCA

Musical Theatre Competitions Of America - MTCA

MTCA is an Educational Musical Theater Festival filled with Performance Opportunities, Master Classes, and Competition for Middle School, High School and Youth Theatre Students. One of MTF Educational Foundation goal is to  raise funds in support of MTCA scholarships and educational opportunities for students nationwide. 


"I’ve adjudicated this event for about a decade. Though the title has “competition” in it, it couldn’t feel further from it. It feels like a collaboration, a master class and a community all tied up with a sparkly gold ribbon. Get your students to this event as soon as you can!"

~ Cynthia McGarity - Master Teaching Artist, The Walt Disney Company
