Atlanta's Broadway dreams came true for the 5th consecutive summer when THE BROADWAY DREAMS FOUNDATION (BDF) presented their acclaimed Summer Performing Arts Intensive Monday, June 7 through Saturday, June 12, 2010 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre (2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway, Marietta, GA), Atlanta's premiere entertainment venue. The week-long program culminated in a one-night-only Broadway concert event entitled "Don't Stop Believing" on Sunday, June 13 at 2:00 pm at the Centre's 2,750 seat John A. Williams Theatre.
BDF's Summer Performing Arts Intensive featured a faculty roster of Tony Award nominated stars and Broadway favorites including former "MadTv" and Wicked star Nicole Parker, 9 to 5 co-stars and Tony Award nominees Stephanie J. Block and Megan Hilty, BDF Artistic Director Paul Caanan (Legally Blonde) along with Billy Porter (Grease, Miss Saigon), Nikki Snelson (Legally Blonde), Carolos L. Encinias (Les Miserables, Mamma Mia!); James Kinney (Sweet Charity, Fosse) and BDF Musical Director Jeremy Schonfeld (Drift, Clear Blue Tuesday).
With the success of wildly popular television shows like "Glee" and the blockbuster films Hairspray and Fame, the world of musical theater is more popular than ever. The Broadway Dreams Foundation, a national non-profit performing arts training program, teaches America's youth how to kick start their career with one of a kind performance workshop taught by Broadway's brightest stars.
