By offering in-depth training in theatre, music, dance, and song, we strive to enhance our student’s self-esteem and expand their potential, while also heightening their awareness of opportunities through art and music. UMT students develop a greater understanding of professionalism, team work, and responsibility from our staff of arts educators. Recognized internationally, UMT instructors include Delfeayo Marsalis, Ellis Marsalis, Donald Harrison, Lorraine Alfaro, Lula Elzy, and John Grimsley.
UMT recruits students through schools, churches, community centers, and all media outlets. Enrollment is by audition. No previous experience in the dramatic arts is necessary. The student body represents the diversity of the Greater New Orleans area. UMT students perform throughout the year for cross-cultural, citywide audiences.
