Theater reflects life and happens in real time, in person where the intersection of artists and audiences creates a unique performance every night. We gather each year as a community to recognize and honor over 150 creative public high school students from 5 theatrical productions who share their craft and their powerful stories with you. We celebrate our teens artists for laying claim to Broadway boldly as theirs for an evening at an age in which many of us could not have dreamt of performing on such a stage.
