Musical Theatre Programme
LASALLE's Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Musical Theatre Programme began with its first intake of students in July 2004. The course, the first of its kind in Asia, trains students in singing, acting and dancing. In addition to local teachers, the course also invites international guest artists including writers, directors, agents, and casting directors to contribute to the teaching programme. Final-year students also have the opportunity to present their talent to invited international agents, casting directors, producers and theatre companies in Graduation Showcase in Singapore.

Famous quotes containing the words musical, theatre and/or programme:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Art is for [the Irish] inseparable from artifice: of that, the theatre is the home. Possibly, it was England made me a novelist.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
