TENNESSEE REPERTORY THEATRE
Belmont University School of Music has partnered with Tennessee Repertory Theatre to help train young performers in musical theatre. Under the direct leadership of David Grapes, Artistic Director of Tennessee Repertory Theatre, our students may work in a performance internship for one semester to develop a heightened awareness of the complexities of theatre and performance preparation. Another unique opportunity for all Musical Theatre majors at Belmont was the chance to sing in the chorus of the Rep's spring musical 'Evita', at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
