about mtca
Established in 2005, Musical Theater Competitions of America (MTCA) is a four-day creative collaboration among musical theater producers, directors, costume designers, set designers and choreographers held at the Hilton Hotel at the Anaheim Resort, Anaheim, California. This annual four-day extravaganza provides a competitive yet education event for musical theater students and directors alike!
Unlike other festivals, MTCA students are allowed the use of costumes, props, microphones and blocks to enhance their storytelling capabilities during their adjudications. Competitive categories include:
- group musical
- group composer revue
- vocal solo
- vocal duet
- monologue
- musical theater dance solo
- costume design
- hair and makeup design
- set design
All Students receive live immediate and relevant feedback that encourages growth and development.
The MTCA adjudication team is comprised of college-level theater faculty, Broadway performers and choreographers, Disney Master Class teachers, and regional theater owners.
This year we will be staying at the Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort. This hotel is adjacent to the Hilton hotel where MTCA is held. Your tuition includes either a King room suite or a 2 Queen bed suite. We are limited to the number of 2 Queen bed suites that our group can have and will therefore be reserved for those families with more than 2 people attending. There is an additional expense for parking of $28/day plus tax. Breakfast is NOT included with this hotel.
