We encourage students to take courses in the following progression:
Level 1. Core Training (4-5 day course)
Level 2. Conducting and one other 3-5 day course
Level 3. Advanced Skills (5-day course) or PT Practice (10-day course)
Level 4. Leadership (15-day course). Acceptance into the Leadership course will also take into account the student’s practical experience and the recommendation of a mentor. A number of Independent Study Projects need to be completed before attending the PT Leadership course.

Advanced placement (for those with previous Playback Theatre experience):
We will have to consider applicants case by case since the nature of Playback experience varies so widely.
Six months’ experience in an active company enables a student to begin at Level 2. Five years’ experience in an active company, including conducting experience enables a student to be considered for advanced placement into Leadership. An “active company” is a company that rehearses and performs in the community on a regular basis.
Graduates receive a diploma.
