Questions

What is Broadway Theatre Connection?

Broadway Theatre Connection was originally created to forge a direct relationship between professional New York City theatre artists and the Greater New Orleans theatre community. BTC currently offers Workshops and Master Classes in multiple cities throughout the United States providing opportunities for education, mentorship, and intensive training. We connect Broadway performers, choreographers, directors, casting directors, vocal coaches, and agents to students with a passion for developing their musical theatre skills.

How many students are accepted?

BTC programs will vary in student enrollment. However, in all circumstances, we feel that it is important to limit the number of students in each class. Class sizes are structured so that students get the individual attention that they deserve. Classes are primarily divided by age level. BTC reserves the right to move students from one level to another.



How do we know which faculty will teach at the summer workshop?

Due to their high demand and possible scheduling conflicts, BTC reserves the right to initiate changes to the faculty and curriculum. The number of faculty present is based on the total enrollment of students per session. Broadway Theatre Connection guarantees a well-rounded workshop experience and an unmatched caliber of teachers. Typically, BTC will announce, via email, the expected Faculty for a particular BTC Event to those students participating.
