CAMP BROADWAY® is a 2016 Special Drama Desk Award-winning company for “introducing young people to the magic of theater and for playing a crucial role in creating tomorrow’s audiences for over 20 years.” Founded in 1995 and recognized as Broadway’s “original” summer camp, Camp Broadway’s mission is to make theatre arts an accessible and relevant vehicle for creative children to build confidence, hone presentation skills and discover their unique talents at every stage of their lives. The company is now a leader in audience engagement and a trusted source for year-round youth enrichment programs, experiential events and educational workshops that have set the gold standard for professional, authorized musical theater and drama content for use in amateur arts programming.
Over 37,000 children from around the world have traveled to New York City to attend Camp Broadway’s annual musical theater camp on Broadway or presented at partner theaters in Atlanta, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Miami, San Antonio, Tempe and Westhampton Beach. A staff of experienced Broadway performers, directors, choreographers, writers, composers and designers teach all programs including special appearances by the Camp Broadway Kids at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and other premier entertainment venues.
For over two decades, Camp Broadway has played its part in developing a new generation of creative and knowledgeable artists and audiences. Camp Broadway® is loved by theater-loving kids of all ages who have grown up to work professionally on stage and backstage or become creative leaders in corporate offices, small companies, school classrooms and local community organizations around the world.
