Throughout the school year, these students attended a variety of Broadway and Off Broadway shows including BBQ, Daphne’s Dive, Kinky Boots and Head of Passes. With guidance from a teaching artist, students also participated in 24 in-class sessions exploring playwriting, musical theatre and physical theatre.
