Broadway Bridges

Through our Broadway Bridges initiative, aspiring performers worldwide unlock their inner ‘triple threat’, honing their skills in singing, dancing, and acting. Participants immerse themselves in the classics like Rent, West Side Story, and Sound of Music, alongside contemporary hits like Hamilton. Past programs have spanned the globe, from Ukraine and Kazakhstan to Egypt, Lebanon, and Thailand, empowering diverse communities through the transformative power of the stage. Our musical theater training program goes beyond performance, equipping participants with technical expertise and creative prowess in staging, choreography, and more. Additionally, American Voices offers comprehensive teacher training in adult and children's theater, mime, puppetry, and storytelling, enriching educators with innovative tools to inspire the next generation of performers and storytellers.
