Musical Theater College Auditions (MTCA) is a leader in guiding actors and musical theater students through the college audition process and beyond to achieve the best results. MTCA has assembled a roster of expert artist-educators who can guide students artistically, organizationally, strategically, and psychologically through the competitive college audition process.
