The Conservatory invites applications for two open rank tenure-track teachers of Music Theatre Voice to join the Conservatory's nationally ranked music theatre program beginning on August 1, 2025.

Over the last three decades, the BW Music Theatre program (BWMT) has developed into a sought-after program for Conservatory-level education in the field. BWMT is regularly ranked among the top ten programs in the US and, for the last two years, was included on The Hollywood Reporter's list of "Top 25 Drama Schools in the World." Over 75 BWMT graduates have performed on Broadway and in National Tours over the last 10 years. The BWMT program boasts a consistent track record of New York senior showcases that result in all students signing with agents in the days that follow. The program is well-supported by multiple endowed funds and enthusiastic donors ensuring the hallmark components of the program continue in perpetuity including the New York senior showcase and annual masterclass series that brings over ten industry professionals to campus each year. The production season includes three musicals each year including an annual co-production with Cleveland's Playhouse Square, the nation's second largest performing arts center which boasts the nation's largest Broadway season subscriber base. Cleveland's theatre sector is rich including two large professional union theatres, two AEA small professional theaters, multiple community theatres and theatre-related organizations, and one of the largest sources of local arts funding in the US through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, all of which are partners of the BW Conservatory of Performing Arts.
