Message from the Summer Pre-College Broadway at Marist Director

Hey there! Thank you for considering the 鈥淏roadway at Marist鈥� Summer Pre-College Program~ 

The American Musical is the most collaborative art form we have. Not only due to the countless mediums that create a Broadway show (writing, composing, singing, acting, dancing, directing, designing) but because all of those mediums must coalesce into a singular vision in order to tell one story. It is without a doubt my favorite art form; one that I believe has the power to create change in folks young and old. 

The Musical鈥檚 collaborative nature has made it a staple in the American education system and 澳门六合彩app is no exception. However, as opposed to creating shows in a strict hierarchical structure like other institutions, Marist Theatre is for the students, led by the students, and performed by the students. I am excited to welcome you to our collaborative community for the two weeks of the program. Here, along with studying the performance and development of musicals, you will also be able to take your own wild ideas and bring them to life onstage!

In the spirit of collaboration, I am most excited about our partnership with New York Stage and Film, a company that develops Broadway鈥檚 next big thing right here on our beautiful campus (they were the first stop for Hamilton. Yes. THAT Hamilton.). We will hear from Broadway鈥檚 top professionals as they collaborate on their newest works. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am honored to be a part of it! 

I hope you will join us! I am excited to share the stage with you!
