After careful consideration, Broadway Theatre Project (BTP) decided to move its 2020 summer intensive online in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The BTP administration has announced that all previously-scheduled guest artists and programming will be accessible to students via video conferencing. In fact, this virtualization will provide students more intimate interaction with Tony Award-winning performers, more diversified instruction from nationally renowned arts educators, and more personalized exposure to New York's leading agents. Whether pre-college or pre-professional, students will leave BTP 2020 with top-notch training in musical theatre performance, skills in creative collaboration (as taught in our inaugural Creative Works Lab), career development, experience with video auditions, and even footage for their reels. The 10 day-long program will produce lifelong professional relationships and culminate in a performance, during which students will have the opportunity to share their talents with industry professionals.
