The Broadway Dreams Foundation training program also offers week-long summer performance intensives at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, NE, and the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA.
BDF students receive training in acting, dance and vocal performance before participating alongside Broadway performers in concert events open to the public. Following the Atlanta engagement, Tony Award nominee Dan Knechtges (Lysistrata Jones) will direct the Philadelphia concert Aug. 4, and Matt Lenz (associate director Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) will helm the Omaha engagement July 14.
The musical is the newest project by Hunter Bird, one of the creative minds behind the immersive Off-Broadway revival of The Phantom of the Opera, Masquerade.
