Bringing Broadway to Your School (3-8)

You’d be amazed at the impact on your school’s climate when you put a time-tested, Broadway classic in front of your students and unleash their talents to present it to your congregation and the community. Think you can’t do it at your small school? Think again! This session will show how well known musicals like "The King and I" and "The Music Man" from the Broadway Junior and R&H Theatricals G2K series can be adapted for any size school, and are accessible to the most novice of directors, yet creatively stimulating for more veteran directors.

About the presenter - For 12 years of his 14 years as a teacher at Peace in Hartford, WI, Mike Marquardt, along with his wife, April, produced enthusiastically received productions of Broadway Junior and G2K shows to their community at the local professional theater. Mike is currently the choir director at St. Croix Lutheran Academy, directing the middle school musicals and assisting with the high school musicals.
