So, I've been scouring the internet with not a whole lot of luck. This is my final year in an hounors bachelor of music degree in voice (classical though, not MT) I would really love to do one more year of school focussed on musical theater. Almost every music school has an opera diploma like this, one or two intensive years of training. Im looking for something similar but musical theater, and am Having almost zero luck. The thing is, I don't want to go back and do another undergrad degree. Even a shorter course, like a six week course or something, would be appreciated. Does anyone know of anything like this?
I found one four week program at the manhattan school of music, something that looks like a MA in music theatre from a conservatory in Britain, and not much else.
I live in Ontario, Canada, but I'm willing to go pretty much wherever.
Any ideas?

Look at NYU (Tisch or Steinhardt) and AMDA.

Thank you so much, I have no idea why I couldn't find these by googeling, apparently I suck. Thanks again! Do you know of any shorter term summer programs?

AMDA can be completed in 1 1/2 years if you don't take a break like many do. If you have any questions about it message me.

The program at Manhattan School of Music is just a summer course.

This from the the info sheet:
The course is four weeks in length and features hands-on training in all areas of musical theater performance, including individual vocal and dramatic coachings, song preparation, scene preparation, audition techniques, career management, dance, and master classes with distinguished artists, as well as a study of the history and impact of American musical theater. Beginning with the 2002 Professional Musical Theater Workshop, a true performance workshop session combining song study with an acting class was incorporated into the program under the direction of Carolann Page and Lonny Price. At the conclusion of the workshop, students have individual consultations with the program faculty to review and assess their overall progress.

A big plus about the program here is that you get to work with Paul Gemignani, who amazing.
