In this theater for teaching and learning combinations of both theoretical and practical methods make up the courses for acting, directing, singing/musical theater, musicals, drama, stage presence and costume design, makeup and cultural journalism.
The students complete their studies, depending on the various courses, with a Bachelor, Master or Diploma.
On average, the students participate in over 50 productions per academic year. Tickets for performances are available through the central ticket office of the Bavarian state theaters.
The Theatre Academy is a member of the Standing Conference of Acting Training because of its course in acting.[3]
When the Prinzregententheater is not being used for its own productions, the Theaterakademie rents the building to cooperation partners and Munich concert promoters. The income from renting finances about 12 percent of the academy’s total budget. Supporter of the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding is the Free State of Bavaria, represented by the Bavarian State Ministry of Education.
