Growing Together: Updates to Our Enrollment Show Experience
The Academy at Music Theatre Wichita continues to be impressed by the participation surrounding our Enrollment Shows. Each year, we welcome more students and families into the MTWichita family, and it has been exciting to see this program grow and thrive. As we’ve spent the past several years refining the experience to ensure it is as educational and rewarding as possible, we will be implementing an important update to the audition process moving forward.
Participation in the Enrollment Show is a meaningful commitment. It requires not only consistent attendance at rehearsals, but also preparation outside of rehearsal time, including memorization and retaining the information taught. The technical rehearsal schedule once we move to the theatre can also be demanding. While incredibly rewarding, this experience can feel overwhelming for those new to our programs and requires a strong level of commitment from both students and their families.
Beginning with the Spring 2027 Enrollment Show, students who wish to audition must have participated in at least one additional Academy offering during 2026 (excluding The Little Mermaid JR.).
Eligible programs include spring classes, summer camps, Rising Stars Youth Ensemble, Out of Class; Into Character camps, the MTWichita Holiday Show, or Teen Shows. These opportunities provide a valuable introduction to how The Academy operates while allowing students to build skills and confidence in a supportive, lower-pressure environment. This preparation helps ensure that students are set up for success and ready to fully benefit from the Enrollment Show experience.
As always, the Academy is committed to ensuring our programs and opportunities are accessible to all. We are proud to offer scholarships to families if cost is a barrier.
We are proud to continue offering high-quality educational and performance opportunities for our community. With expanded programming coming in Fall 2026, we hope you will join us throughout the year and take part in both an Academy experience and the Enrollment Show. We look forward to seeing you at auditions in January 2027!
