Musical theatre is composed of three important skill sets: singing, acting, and dancing.
As an affiliate of Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts (MCA) has fostered a learning environment in all three of these facets for college students in Winona.
At Saint Mary’s, students are given the opportunity to pursue a dance minor, one that can only be completed by taking several dance classes at MCA.
Sam Wersch is a junior musical theatre major and dance minor at Saint Mary’s. Originally from Aurora, Colo., Wersch stumbled upon the school almost accidentally, seeking out their musical theatre program.
