Our South Seattle Outreach Program
Our VisionChildren and teens developing core life values through the tradition, process and discipline of
live musical theatre
Our MissionTo create exceptional theatrical productions
that awakenthe very best in children and teens
Our Formula for SuccessYouth Arts Education
Studies demonstrate that a strong correlation exists between
academic success and participation in the arts
A recent report by the Center for Arts Education found that schools with the highest graduation rates also offered students the most access to arts education
DREAMGIRLSIn 2007, Broadway Bound reached out to the Rainier Beach community and opened a long dormant Paul
Robeson Performing Arts Center with a production of DREAMGIRLS
Students who participated onstage and offstage were introduced to the theatre arts and mentored by
a team of highly trained Professionals
Broadway Bound returned in the summer of 2008 and mounted an equally successful production of FAME
In addition to the theatre arts, students were given instruction in such areas as time management, nutrition, exercise, responsibility and teamwork
FAME
Broadway Bound provides tuition scholarships for teens with demonstrated financial need. Families with low economic status often depend on teens earning supplemental income during the summer, so modest
stipends are provided to student actors and stagecraft workers
Eliminating this barrier allows teens to follow their dreams while still fulfilling their family
obligations
Financial Support
In partnership with Seattle Public Schools, Broadway Bound produced LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and CATS during the 2008-2009 school year at Rainier Beach
High School
Demonstrated success at Rainier Beach High School:
Four productions, 26 performances, over 130 students, attendance over 7,000
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS/CATS
In 2009, Broadway Bound, at its own cost, brought its program to the Dearborn Elementary School in
southeast Seattle
Once each week, every one of the 375 students at Dearborn attends class with instructors from
Broadway Bound. An after-school program modeled after its flagship program was introduced in the Fall of
2009

Reaching Teens
“Personally speaking the show made me a stronger person. I have been told I was
never going to be anything special. Broadway Bound gave me the confidence I needed
and the motivation. I have not been in a musical until ‘Dreamgirls.’ We gained so
much respect from other students and even adults. We are working to bring even
more music and theater to our neighborhood.” -- Shaniqua B.
Reaching Teens
“Broadway Bound taught me how to not feel like I need to lash out at people and
to feel welcomed and a part of something that I can be proud of. They taught me
how to have courage and self-esteem and not to care about what other people
thought of me. I would recommend any and everyone to join the program.
A lot of good things will come out of it.” -- Tokara T.

reaches acrosscultural and religious boundaries to promote unity, acceptance of
diversity andconnecting with the world around us. The musical is based on books
by Dr.Robert J. Landy, head of the Drama Therapy program at New York
University,who interviewed over five hundred children from different cultures, races and religions. The insights of these young spiritual thinkers are funny, moving, entertaining and enlightening. Their visions
were set to music byBroadway and Las Vegas conductor/composer Keith Thompson.
