This past year, Broadway's Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs launched 'A BroaderWay,' a foundation that supports young people in the arts. A BroaderWay sponsors camp programs, theater workshops, innovative educational programming and offers scholarships and opportunities to experience professional performances.

This past summer, Camp BroaderWay welcomed young girls from underserved metro New York communities to a 10-day performing arts camp, run by Idina Menzel and a team of acclaimed professional Broadway artists, including her husband Taye Diggs. Camp BroaderWay's focus is self-expression, empowerment, leadership development, and traditional camp fun. Camp BroaderWay provides a positive nurturing environment for young girls to make new friends, explore new interests, and appreciate nature. The summer program culminates with an original camper-created performance on a New York City stage.

Camp BroaderWay welcomes Jeanine Tesori as the Creative Director for Summer 2011. Jeanine has written four Tony Award-nominated scores for Broadway, including "Twelfth Night", "Thoroughly Modern Millie", "Caroline, or Change", and "Shrek the Musical". She has been the recipient of many other awards and has written several movie scores. As Creative Director, Jeanine will collaborate with the campers in the creation of their own original production. With Jeanine's professional assistance, Idina's hands-on involvement and the expertise of other special guests, the campers will identify a theme, write the lyrics and the script and produce a performance that they will ultimately perform for family and supporters on a professional stage in Manhattan.
