Broadway For All's Final Summer Showcase Slated for Monday August 20th

Broadway For All announces their seventh groundbreaking year of non-profit theater arts and their New Works Reading this past Friday August 17, 2018 and Final Summer Showcase on Monday August 20, 2018, both held at the Professional Performing Arts High School (328 West 48th Street).

This "free for ALL participants" summer conservatory, trains students (age 10-18) in a New York City-based six-week summer program. Broadway For All aims to help more accurately reflect the diverse world we live in on stage and screen. Led entirely by a faculty from the Broadway, TV, and Film industries, with divisions in Musical & Theatre Performance and Dramatic Writing, Broadway For All trains young artists from all socioeconomic levels and all ethnic backgrounds in a world-class conservatory in order to shape a new generation of artists, leaders, and advocates who are impassioned and galvanized to create inclusive work for ALL.

The program is described as follows: "Students will not only get a chance to train rigorously with a full-time faculty of industry professionals and gain tools to hone their craft and audition skills, but they also perform in a musical production and present a staged reading in the Theater District for industry professionals, their families, and supporters. In addition to developing their talent and advancing their professional careers year-round, students leave Broadway For All with a deeper interest in committing their lives to active inclusivity for all people, on the American stage and screen - and beyond - for the rest of their lives."

Guest Faculty and Teaching Artists featured this summer include: Jeremy Jordan (Newsies), Martyna Majok (Cost of Living), Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), Danny Gorman (Sunset Boulevard), James Fauvell (Kiss Me Kate), Justin Packard (Matilda), Adeola Role (Harry Potter And The Cursed Child), Kristolyn Lloyd (Dear Evan Hansen), Madison Turner (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Antoinette Nwandu (PASS OVER), Nikhil Saboo (Mean Girls). Advisory Board Members include director David Cromer (The Band's Visit), producer Fred Zollo (Once), and attorney Reni Adedevoh (Warner Music Group).
