From Broadway In Syracuse…

“We wanted to join Jamie on this incredible program because there is nothing better than nurturing a child’s dream. For some, seeing a Broadway show is not always a possibility, but something they’ve always dreamed of. It takes one show, one song, or even one performance, to unlock a newfound dream or passion. We’re hoping this program will serve not only as an opportunity to expose a younger generation to the world of theatre, but cultivate a community for these young applicants. Now more than ever, it is essential to showcase the importance of the arts in our communities, and the value it brings to people’s lives, and through this program we hope to enrich our Future Stars with that education and appreciation. The gift of live theatre, and the chance to give this experience to passionate, dedicated, and aspiring theatre members is something we are incredibly proud and excited to be a part of.

This program is looking for students who wish to enter into the world of theatre, whether that’s on the stage, behind the curtain, on the production-side, or even marketing, we are excited to be able to bring a wide range of opportunities to our selected applicants.”
