After a brief hiatus, it is the fourth year that Broadway stars have come together to support LIHSA, which is Long Island's only career and technical education high school for the performing and visual arts. The school offers world-class training and preparation for students who are interested in exploring and pursuing careers in the arts.

"We are deeply touched by the support of these talented Broadway entertainers who donate their time to put together an unprecedented performance to support LIHSA," said Nassau BOCES Deputy Superintendent James Widmer. "The evening will not only help raise awareness of our stellar arts programs, but it will also provide current and future LIHSA students an inside look at the industry and give them an opportunity to see how successful they can become!"

Broadway Supports LIHSA is being co-produced and co-directed by Jerome Vivona, a Broadway veteran and current artistic director of the American Theater Dance Workshop in New Hyde Park, N.Y., and Stephen DeAngelis, renowned casting director of the Broadway revival of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice and producer of more than 200 different Broadway concerts in NYC and across the United States.

The evening features a variety of performers with Broadway shows to their credit. Performers will be announced soon. To learn more about LIHSA or to see who will be performing, visit www.longislandhighschoolforthearts.org.
