Since bringing Camp Broadway to our venue seventeen years ago Shea’s Performing Arts Center has had continual positive feedback from parents and students alike. Every year I am swamped with e-mails from parents telling me how much their son or daughter got out of the program, how they came home exhausted each day but could not wait until the next day to return to camp, and countless thank you’s from both parents and students for bringing the program to Buffalo. The one thing that I find most valuable about the Camp Broadway program is that it emphasizes and encourages ensemble work which is so important not only in the theatre but in day to day life no matter what one pursues.

My first impression of Camp Broadway was this looks to be a high quality program that would lend itself nicely to the goals and objectives of the King Center for the Performing Arts.  Once the company arrived I immediately recognized the professionalism and organization of the program as demonstrated by members of Camp Broadway.  As the week unfolded I realized their formula was such that would provide the most effective and fun learning environment for the participants. The program had many benefits that provided participants with a good insight into the world of Broadway and would provide a segue for youth interested in exploring the performing arts.
