Encinias (Les Miserables, Mamma Mia!); James Kinney (Sweet Charity, Fosse) and BDF Musical Director Jeremy Schonfeld (Drift, Clear Blue Tuesday).

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.

Attendees of the week-long BDF Summer Performing Arts Intensive will receive first-rate training in acting, dance and vocal performance daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. by savvy Broadway veterans who will share their invaluable insider knowledge on the skills needed to make
it in show business. Students will also learn how to improve their audition skills (song selections and cold readings) and attend classes geared toward college and career planning (headshots and resumes). At week's end, all participants will have the opportunity to perform alongside their Broadway idols in a "one night only" concert event to be held on Sunday, June 13 at the Cobb Energy Centre in the John A. Williams Theatre. Students will audition for top NYC casting director
