Broadway Ventures
Summer Musical Theatre Program
 
Broadway Ventures is a two-week-long, musical theatre intensive program, where students will perform a “full-length, well-known musical!” Whether this is your first theatrical experience or your tenth, Broadway Ventures is for you! Performers will be fully immersed in every aspect of the stage experience, from singing, dance, stage management, and acting. If you long for the spotlight or are just interested in being in a show, Broadway Ventures will be a transformative experience where you discover your passions, talents, and what it takes to perform a musical! 

Due to the intensity of performing a musical in two weeks, BroadwayVentures is now an audition based program. Unfortunately, that means that not every student who auditions will be accepted into the program regardless of past participation in BroadwayVentures. New to this season, students interested in auditioning will be asked to sign-up on the Rec. Department website. Payment of tuition will not be required at this time. If you are accepted into the program, you will then be given instructions on how to register and make arrangements to pay tuition costs. 
 
Students accepted into BroadwayVentures will then be invited to callbacks to audition for specific roles in our production.
