Next Stop Broadway is directed by St. Louis native and seasoned Broadway professional, Tony Parise. Parise has directed the Next Stop Broadway program at Providence Performing Arts Center in Rhode Island and Durham Performing Arts Center in North Carolina. "I am thrilled to be bringing this authentic Broadway experience to theatre-loving kids in the St. Louis Metro area where nothing like it exists," said Parise, "This program emphasizes the importance of the Ensemble. The life lessons inherent in the program go far beyond singing, dancing, and acting and teach respect, responsibility, and working together for a common goal. It also just happens to be the most fun you could possibly have in 5 days!"
