College Prep and more!

High school students in a college audition masterclass

Welcome to MK Performing Arts—home of University Prep and a whole lot more.

At MKPA, we coach serious young performers through every stage of their journey, not just college auditions. Whether you’re prepping for auditions or want to get better technique as a singer/actor, or just want to feel more confident on stage, this is a place to train, grow, and find your voice.

Yes, we help students get into top BFA programs across the country. But we also offer private voice lessons, acting coaching, and seasonal intensives for artists at every level—from high school freshmen to working pros brushing up before callbacks.

If you’re here at ThesCon, you already care deeply about your craft. We’re here to meet you where you are and help you level up with real tools, honest feedback, and coaches who’ve been in your shoes.

Let’s make this the weekend you discover what’s next.
