Theatre On Park in Winter Park, Florida is where I learned my professional chops for musical theatre form 1981-1982. I worked with some great performers some of whom still perform today. Thrown into the water so to speak and swim, for dancing/stage movement, singing, and multiple characters in an ensemble, rehearsing a new show in the day during the the last ten days of performing in the current show.
