The Broadway Dreams Foundation is a national, non-profit performing arts training program that teaches America's youth how to kick start their career through unique performance workshops taught across the country by Broadway's brightest stars.

Attendees of BDF's week-long performing arts intensives receive first-rate training in acting, dance and vocal performance by savvy Broadway veterans who share their invaluable insider knowledge on the skills needed to make it in show business. At week's end, the students perform alongside their Broadway idols in a one-night-only concert event open to the public and have the opportunity to audition for top Broadway casting directors.

Over two thousand students have participated in the BDF program in cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, San Diego and Omaha. Students have gone on to perform in regional, national and Broadway productions including Disney's The Lion King and
Spring Awakening, pursue careers in the arts or attend prestigious theatre programs in universities throughout the United States.

The Broadway Dreams Foundation offers significant scholarships to hundreds of students each year, ensuring that all qualified students are able to realize their Broadway Dreams regardless of their financial status. Proceeds from White Christmas at Sweetwater Farm will help to fund additional scholarships for worthy aspiring performers.
