BROADWAY BOUND PLAYERS (4th-8th Grade)
Broadway Bound Players is a free year-long program for students who are underserved in the performing arts and are looking for more opportunities to perform and find a theater community. Members of this exciting ensemble receive acting, voice, and dance training from professional teaching artists and take master classes with Broadway performers. In the fall, they will rehearse and perform a musical review which they help create, and in the spring they will mount a full-scale musical complete with costumes, sets and props! This program culminates with a performance on a professional stage.
