"We are so fortunate to have such an outpouring of support from the Broadway community, to raise awareness about the importance of theater arts and to raise funds for arts programs that are constantly being cut," says Jeff Martin, Producer and Owner - with John Kroner - of MK Entertainment. Martin and Kroner, who have been producers in the entertainment world for over 20 years, and have produced events at the White House during the Clinton years, are both parents at PS 166 and assembled the talent for Broadway Sings. "We put it out there and they responded, even on their day off," says Martin. Many of the numbers in Broadway Sings feature kids working on Broadway who will stay for a question and answer session with the audience after the show. The goal is to inspire PS 166 children to consider theater arts as a career path. PS 166 children in the After School program are currently producing their own version of "Annie." PS 166, otherwise known as the Richard Rodgers School of Arts and Technology, is dedicated to supporting and promoting theater arts in the school, particularly works by Richard Rodgers who attended the school and is its namesake. Like other public schools in New York City that have been hit so hard by budget cuts, PS 166 will use the funds raised by Broadway Sings ticket sales to compensate for recent Department of Education cuts that have taken a toll on programs and services.
