TUTS Performance Troupe

Elite Student Performance Ensemble at TUTS

The TUTS Performance Troupe is a unique inclusive ensemble, bringing together students from both the HSMT Academy and The River, including performers with disabilities. This inclusive group offers young performers real-world opportunities to share their artistry beyond the classroom.

Students selected for the troupe participate in special rehearsals and receive invitations to perform at community events throughout the year. Past appearances include caroling at The Four Seasons, ReelMusic, Music For Autism, and the Points of Light Global Conference.

While auditions for the 2025–26 troupe have concluded, auditions will reopen in August 2026 for the 2026–27 season.
