They say there's a light for every broken heart on Broadway. This new reality-based television show, tentatively named "Broadway Dreams," will follow hundreds of Broadway hopefuls as they learn the ropes from the industry's brightest stars and savviest of insiders. The program will offer a thrilling backstage look at the triumph and tears, hard work, struggle and passion as these talented artists work to realize their Broadway dreams.
This summer The Broadway Dreams Foundation will present week-long intensive workshops in Atlanta, GA; Omaha, NE and Philadelphia, PA. Attendees will receive first-rate training in acting, dance and vocal performance before participating alongside their Broadway idols in a
one-night-only concert event open to the public. Preliminary shooting of the new reality-based series will begin the week of March 5, 2012 during an open call audition for the Atlanta intensive. Some of BDF's core faculty members Tituss Burgess (The Little Mermaid, Jersey Boys), Billy Porter (Miss Saigon, Grease), Nicholas Rodriguez (Tarzan, ABC's "One Life to Live"), Nikki Snelson (Legally Blonde, A Chorus Line) along with BDF Executive Director Annette Tanner and BDF Artistic Director James Kinney (Fosse, Sweet Charity) will be on-hand for filming.
The Broadway Dreams Foundation's musical theatre intensive programs are offered nationally throughout the year and are led by an exceptional faculty of high-profile and experienced Broadway
professionals. The unique programs offer highly personalized and supportive coaching, an exciting and collaborative learning environment and ongoing networking to build confidence and life skills - all of which may launch a life-changing career. Thousands of students have participated in the BDF program and some have gone on to star on Broadway, pursue careers in the arts or attend prestigious theatre programs in universities throughout the United States.
