www.broadwaynews.com: The Broadway League, the national trade association for the theater industry, has launched a program called Broadway Bridges on the Road. The audience engagement initiative expands upon the League’s original Broadway Bridges program, which aims to ensure every New York City high school sees a Broadway show before graduation.

This is awesome! Growing up across the country from NYC Broadway shows was not something I got to see much of. But I think that this is a way to continue to motivate education boards to continue to fund for the arts. By providing their students with access to world class theater. This will boost interest through talk backs and a way for these students to access this level of theatrical production. I remember the Oregon Shakespeare Festival being that motivation for me, providing me with some of the best theater I have seen to date. After seeing Broadway and the level of production and performance I was so inspired to get to that level. I would have loved to have gotten tickets to see a show in Portland Oregon mostly because my family did not have the time or lacked the funds to go on our own. So for this to be offered through school is a way to provide theater to less fortunate communities and provide that moment all theater lovers have.
