In attendance at the Broadway Junior event will be prominent NYC arts educators, and leading members of New York’s professional theater community. “The arts teaches students the importance of revising, editing, rehearsing and joy in the pursuit of mastery,” said School’s Chancellor Carmen Fariña – "a lesson critical in the classroom and beyond. Expanding access to theater, and more generally arts education, helps inspire students, builds confidence and deepens their critical thinking skills. By taking advantage of the City’s rich cultural resources, and partnering with great organizations like the Shubert Foundation, we will be able to continue to offer teachers hands on training and arts experiences and give our students access to a world class arts education.”
