March will be yet another great month on Broadway for theatre-loving kids as KIDS' NIGHT ON BROADWAY (KidsNightonBroadway.com) continues its year-round program where kids ages 6-18 can see a participating Broadway show for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of every month. 

The Broadway League's first ever KIDS ADVISORY BOARD was selected from theatergoing kids ages 11 to 16 from around the country who love Broadway. The 30 kids who were chosen submitted essays via an online contest judged by Broadway and education industry professionals, managed by Thru the Stage Door. Excerpts from a representative sample of essays will be available on KidsNightonBroadway.com soon. The Board will be an integral part of League programs focused around young audiences where kids will help develop and implement kid-oriented programs, events and online strategies.
