Ready For the Complete College Audition Package?
1-On-1 Coaching • Professional Filming + Headshots • Styling • SAT Prep
Did you know...
Most BFA Musical Theatre Programs are More Competitive Than Harvard?
#truthbomb
Because not only do you have to have the vocal ferocity, the dance ability, and the acting chops, you have to 1) have a polished audition package that showcases all of that, and 2) be strong academically.
And this is even before you get to audition in person. Let's see Harvard ask their students to step-ball-change and belt a high C along with their test scores!
Over 97% of our Prescreen Prep students in 2019 and 2020 got accepted to a top school, with an average scholarship of $20K per student.
Why You Need Prescreen Prep
Prescreen Prep is the Complete College Audition Package for the Musical Theatre Prescreen.
Prescreen Prep takes the mystery, the struggle, and the stress out of the college audition prescreen process and helps you get into the BFA program of your dreams. Period.Too good to be true? Watch the quick video 🙂

I am just so blessed to have had the opportunity to do Prescreen Prep. The Broadway Collective has seen me all the way through from high school and now they are helping me get to college. This is such a full circle moment for me. Now going into my senior year I feel prepared more than ever to apply for college and begin adulthood.
Sarah
97% of our Prescreen Prep Students passed prescreens or were accepted into a college theatre program.
My biggest fear was allowing my anxiety about the college process to take over and get the best of me. Prescreen Prep helped me with this by guiding me through the entire process start to finish.
Abby
My biggest fear was not knowing what I didn’t know. The BEST part of Prescreen Prep is having all of your materials right in front of you - not only that, you will be professionally coached on your materials! You are in GREAT hands!
Zoey
Although the focus is applying to college, this program has value that goes beyond that with amazing material picked specifically for you and wonderful coaches who will make you feel strong in your performance. No matter what happens next, Prescreen Prep has not only made me feel more confident and happy in my work and material, but it has shown me that the only person that can hold me from success is myself.

Know that the prescreen process does NOT need to be stressful. My biggest fear going into this process was auditioning on camera. But Prescreen Prep gave me everything I needed – professional training from the best teachers and materials that were perfectly suited for my own personal skills and personality. And the actual process of recording each video was so much fun! Every coach did a great job of making me feel right at home and have a great time.
Jaquelin
Prescreen Prep is an incredible tool to have because it not only helps you with filming prescreens but provides you with material and repertoire that is specifically chosen for you! It really takes so much stress and pressure off of you so that you focus on where you need to be. Having the help from the coaches really allowed me to discover repertoire and techniques that made my performance more profound and made me feel like I’ve grown compared to my first prescreen attempt.
Daniella
The best part of Prescreen Prep is that you have professionals in the industry picking your repertoire as well as coaching you on your materials. It is such a supportive environment where everyone truly wants you to succeed! I truly couldn’t have done it without this program. Not only do you get your rep picked but you get it professionally filmed, coached and you get new headshots and help on your college essay!! You are able to get everything done early so not only can you apply early but you can feel relieved and less stressed knowing it’s done.

To other parents, don’t hesitate. Know that you will go home after the final weekend with such high praise for the coaching, filming, photography, and support teams. The care and professionalism shown to all the kids and parents is unmatched! The biggest benefit was keeping these new seniors accountable for each step of the process. The coordinated 5 weeks of prep was staged out so that they could concentrate on each aspect of their training with a coach, hit a deadline, and move on to the next. This is worth its weight in gold! The on-site coaching and professional teams were a blessing!
Lisa, Parent
As the parent of a Musical Theatre university freshman, I urge you to consider this opportunity. If you’re a HS senior whose serious about the MT college audition process, the Prescreen Prep team could make all the difference in your college options!
David, Parent
The biggest benefit of Prescreen Prep was the preparedness all the way through! The resume, headshot, college essay, transcripts, letters of recommendation, vocal selections, dance selection and monologue selection! Prescreen Prep literally helped her prepare ALL OF THAT! DO IT! It’s worth it!
Jamie, Parent
As a parent who went through this alone last year and didn’t understand this musical theater world, Prescreen Prep is invaluable! The 5 weeks of training in exactly the material you will be recording for prescreens with professionals is priceless. And at time of recording: EVERYTHING is in ONE central location! No running around the city to seek out monologue coaches, dance coaches & Voice coaches. They are ALL IN ONE PLACE! Stress-free for both student and parent! Win-win for all!
Carolyn, Parent
Prescreen Prep. is the best investment we’ve made and now it’s all done and ready to send off to his colleges! From start to finish, they have been there. Joseph now has absolutely beautiful headshots, resumes, audition materials, and personal essays. He had professional training all along the way from his Prescreen Prep coaches so that by the time it was time for the videos, he was ready to go!
Angie, Parent
Prescreen Prep took all the stress out of the process! Where we live there is no “one stop shop” for prescreens. Where else can you get a professional headshot, videos, choreography and the wisdom of the people who run the top musical theater programs in the country!
Jen, Parent
Prescreen Prep so well worth it. The expertise and support you receive is priceless. The biggest benefit is having professionals in the industry choose the correct fit for what your child needs to showcase themselves. Definitely do it!
