Feature: Broadway Couple Amy Spanger and Brian Shepard Launch MARRIED TO BROADWAY Masterclass Tour

Between their two lofty resumes, Broadway husband-and-wife duo Amy Spanger and Brian Shepard have a grand total of 15 Broadway credits to their names. Adding in their multiple film/TV credits and cast recordings, the phrase "triple threat" couldn't be a better fit to define their talents. And with the skills they've honed on "the boards," the couple is eager to support the next generation of Broadway gypsies through their new training program: "Married to Broadway."

Spanger and Shepard will travel to schools, theatres and studios across the US to offer exclusive boot camp-style classes customized for dancers, singers and actors of all ages. Participants will learn valuable tips and tricks on audition preparation, vocal technique, and choreography.
