ArtsBridge Foundation Invites High School Seniors To 'The Zoom Where It Happens'

ArtsBridge Foundation is hosting its first ever "Salute to Graduating Seniors" with creation of an online event "In the Zoom Where It Happens: Theater Industry Panel" set for Friday, June 19 from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Registration, which is free but limited to 100 high school seniors from the class of 2020, is open now via the Special Events page of the ArtsBridge Foundation website, ArtsBridgeGA.org/special-events.

"We are honoring the class of '20 with access to this exclusive behind-the-scenes webinar including a virtual meet-and-greet and star-studded panel discussion with top names of Broadway," said Jennifer Dobbs, executive director of ArtsBridge Foundation. "Up to 100 seniors will learn from theater industry experts about the important resources they'll need during the transition from high school to the 'real world' of their professional careers."

Panelists include four Tony Award winners: director Kenny Leon, scenic designer Beowulf Borrit, performer Shuler Hensley, and choreographer Warren Carlyle, as well as choreographers, makeup artists, talent managers, agents and others from Broadway such as performers Elaine Hendrix and Norm Lewis and producer/director Kenneth Green.
