TV: Fidelity FutureStage Documentary - Part II

The Fidelity FutureStage program story continues in Part 2 of this moving documentary.

The school-year program provides a unique playwriting and production curriculum for more than 800 area students, representing 10 underserved inner-city schools. Fidelity FutureStage gives students the extraordinary opportunity to learn from some of the Broadway community's leading playwrights, directors, designers and actors - both in their classrooms and at Broadway theatres - and ultimately experience the thrill of bringing their own creativity to life on a professional stage.

Over the course of the eight-month program, Fidelity FutureStage students learn the art of playwriting and production through a series of workshops and guest lectures from professionals covering a comprehensive range of theater disciplines. A number of Broadway stars host workshops at individual schools and visit with students as they attend Broadway shows throughout the Fidelity FutureStage program.

Leap (Learning through an Expanded Arts Program), a local partner of the Fidelity FutureStage program, is a non-profit educational service organization committed to improving the quality of public education through a hands-on, arts-based approach to learning. For the past 31 years, Leap has brought professional artists and educational experts to under-served students in the New York metropolitan area and continues to develop and deliver customized programs to schools, cultural institutions and community based organizations.
