The NEXT STOP BROADWAY program, presented by the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) Monday through Friday, August 6 - 10, 2018, will consist of classes, workshops, and rehearsals focused on classic Broadway shows. The staff of Broadway professionals will teach participants ("cast members") songs and choreography from two hit shows from the "Golden Age of Broadway," and will also create their own presentations based on shows from PPAC's 2018/2019 Broadway Season.
NEXT STOP BROADWAY is sponsored in part by The Robert F. Stoico/FIRSTFED Charitable Foundation and PPAC Annual Fund Donors.
NEXT STOP BROADWAY will take place at PPAC and at a satellite studio in the downtown Providence Arts and Entertainment District, which is within a short walking distance of PPAC. Cast members will gather in the Backstage Wardrobe Room at PPAC to enjoy their own bagged lunch brought from home each day. Cast members will be chaperoned by adult teachers and staff members at all times.
In addition to dance and vocal training, the program will include a mid-week "edu-tainment" segment, highlighted with film clips of Broadway shows. The week culminates with an "Opening Night" performance for family and friends on Friday afternoon followed by a cast party in PPAC's Grand Lobby!
Paid registrations are limited to 70 cast members aged 10 - 17 by August 1, 2018 and are accepted on a first-come; first-served basis. Scholarship spaces are available on a non-competitive basis for children with financial need. Registration and scholarships applications can be downloaded at
