Among the shows participating are Metamorphoses, One Mo' Time, The Crucible, Noises Off, Oklahoma! and Mamma Mia!.

The event also includes a one-day meet-and-greet where children and their families can participate in special interactive activities, such as "Behind the Scenes on Bway," makeup design, "Broadway Karaoke" and "Autograph Alley." According to a spokesperson at the League of American Theatres and Producers, casts from some shows will also perform live, though it's not yet known which shows will do so. Hosts and a celebrity spokesperson are also being sought.

Last year, country music star Reba McEntire (Annie Get Your Gun) served as the spokesperson for the event, sponsored by the League and the Theatre Development Fund. —By David Lefkowitz
