The Broadway faculty of True Colors includes Tony Award winner Jarrod Emick (Damn Yankees), Tituss Burgess (Jersey Boys), Deidre Goodwin (A Chorus Line), Nicholas Rodriguez (Tarzan), Tyler Hanes (A Chorus Line), James Kinney (Sweet Charity), Quentin Darrington (Ragtime), Jessica Dillan (Thoroughly Modern Millie), Claci Miller (Annie Get Your Gun), BDF Artistic Director Paul Canaan (Legally Blonde) and celebrity vocal coach Dave Barrus.

Lenz joins the previously announced director-producer Richard Jay-Alexander, who will stage Broadway Dreams concerts July 16 at Omaha's Holland Performing Arts Center and Aug. 6 at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.

The Broadway Dreams Foundation summer intensive program offers significant scholarships to hundreds of students each year, ensuring them to "realize their Broadway Dreams regardless of their financial status." For more information, visit www.mybroadwaydreams.com.
