About

Twin Cities Musical Theatre Training was founded in 2020 by Kym Chambers Otto and Andy Kust. Both given the gift of “time off” from their performing careers due to Covid-19, they recognized that there was a great need in the upper Midwest for a musical theatre training program that caters to individuals who are looking to advance their careers, enhance their skills, or audition for college training programs. With a long history as musical theater coaches, and with successful careers in the industry, Andy and Kym used their connections to assemble a top-notch team of instructors who come armed with an incredible amount of professional experience as well as a deep desire to provide opportunities to empower and train our community of musical theatre artists.
