Our Mantra:
Develop Your Character
“Character” is a defining principle with equal relevance both on and off the stage. Studies have shown that one’s social, emotional, ethical and creative skills are the building blocks to the development of “Character.” Over the last 15 years, nearly 80 percent of funding for social studies and arts-based curriculum which influences positive character development has been eliminated from schools. Camp Broadway’s programs adhere to the belief that engagement in the theatre is an effective strategy in helping parents and educators teach their children about becoming responsible, ethical people. Camp Broadway enables our “Cast of Characters” to immerse themselves in musical theatre and drama as a way to study real and fictitious characters whose stories are told through dialogue, song and dance. In the process, they learn the necessary skills to perform successfully at every stage of life.

The management team, creative staff and training faculty are experienced, knowledgeable professionals who have worked in all aspects of the legitimate theatre—on stage, backstage and in producing or production offices. As stewards of Broadway’s distinguished creators, and teachers of its masterworks, Camp Broadway’s staff is committed to maintaining and teaching the highest professional standards for authenticity, artistic integrity, and attribution of authorship.

My 7 year old Laila had a blast. I loved how at such a young age, the kids are exposed to all aspects needed to create a musical. Beyond acting, dancing, and singing Laila learned about elements related to script, set design and costumes.
As a parent, I want to share how thankful we are to have Camp Broadway in Madeline’s and our lives…you truly make a difference and give us so many moments to remember! I honestly cannot express how wonderful it is to witness these kids committed and dedicated to their love for the arts.
Camp Broadway deserves a standing ovation for its unparalleled dedication to developing and nurturing theater-loving kids! The opportunity to train with real Broadway professionals has given my daughter, Katie, a tremendous boost in her self-confidence- it has quite simply been a life-changing experience.
