www.broadwayworld.com: The Broadway League's 12th annual High School Broadway Shadowing Program successfully concluded this season as 18 students from across various New York City public high schools participated in this unique behind-the-scenes theatre experience. The High School Broadway Shadowing Program connects students from racially diverse and underrepresented backgrounds with industry professionals working in marketing, advertising, press, technical, management, and creative teams, who share what goes in to launching and maintaining a Broadway production.

I absolutely love this program. I think it is so important to grant students, specifically underprivileged students opportunities to get special access to arguably the biggest theatre institution of all time. I feel like in the theatre industry to be successful you need “in’s” with people, so to see this opportunity be granted to people without “in’s” is very nice to see. I also enjoy that they showcase a multitude of careers within the industry. On top of that, the fact that seventeen different shows collaborated on this is so wonderful. It gives a lot of variety to the participants and really shows that people do care about inspiring the people who might come after them. Especially for kids who are located in New York City who live around theatre but might not always have the resources to take advantage of things right outside their doors. My heart feels very full.
