A BEAUTIFUL NOISE, WICKED, SIX & More to Take Part in 11th Annual High School Broadway Shadowing Program

The Broadway League's 11th annual High School Broadway Shadowing Program will welcome 25 students from across various New York City public high schools to participate 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 from marketing, advertising, press, technical, management, and creative teams, who share what goes in to launching and maintaining a Broadway production.

Throughout the month of March (March 7-9 and March 14-16), the selected group of students will be offered practical training from Broadway professionals in careers that go beyond the stage. This is the only commercial theatre program of its kind that pairs individual students with aspirations of exploring non-performance careers in the arts with a Broadway General Management team to comprehensively learn about the many components of producing a show over the course of six days. The students are brought to the shows' marketing and management meetings, taken backstage and into box offices, attend rehearsals, and meet with stage managers and other professionals working on each production.

"Just as there are a wide variety of shows to enjoy on Broadway, students can explore the diverse range of over 90 career options available to pursue on Broadway. We thank our partners with the NYC Department of Education's Office of Arts & Special Projects who help make the High School Broadway Shadowing Program possible so we can continue to provide access to the next generation of Broadway industry professionals," said Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League.

The following Broadway productions are participating in this year's program:

A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical

The Book of Mormon
Chicago
Hadestown
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Kimberly Akimbo
Leopoldstadt
