"Our Dreamer family is incredibly special," said Broadway Dreams Co-Founder and President, Annette Tanner. "This is such a scary time of uncertainty and we have countless Dreamers around the world who are suddenly out of jobs, school, and have had regional, community, or high school shows cancelled. We wanted to give our students a place to go and connect and know they are not alone, while also keeping them active and entertained. Everyone, whether you've taken a Broadway Dreams workshop or not, is welcome to join in on the fun."
Additional Broadway Dreams teaching artists, including Quentin Earl Darrington (Once on This Island), Nicholas Rodriguez(Tarzan), Tyler Hanes (CATS), Noah Ricketts (Frozen), celebrity choreographer Victor Jackson, Alexia Acebo (Chicago), casting director Rachel Hoffman, and more are also set to lead upcoming sessions.
