Broadway Stages welcomed the Williamsburg High School of Architecture and Design's 12th grade environmental science class as they visited our solar rooftop. Thank you to David Buckner of Solar Energy for stopping by to speak and Sarah Tom of Williamsburg High School for having such wonderful students.
Broadway Stages is excited to support the next generation of filmmakers! The Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, started in 2014, is the flagship program of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) that empowers young people through academic coursework, leadership training, and networking. In 2016, the fellowship will provide 1,000 outstanding young leaders from sub-Saharan Africa with the opportunity to hone their skills at a U.S. higher education institution with support for professional development after they return home.
Thanks to Stephen Greenwald from Wagner College, these young individuals are studying in New York. For more information on this fellowship, please visit Young African Leaders Initiative.
Broadway Stages is always happy to support the local arts scene. We sponsored an after-school film course for high school students at the Ridgewood YMCA, in which the students worked on a documentary for their school. They ended the day with a tour of our studios in Glendale.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at the YMCA, the talented students, and our very own stage manager Dennis for giving a great tour.
Broadway Stages was proud to sponsor the cutest little lions in PS 34's rendition of "The Lion King." Bravo on an amazing performance!
Every year, we look forward to the third week of May because it means it's Green Science Week at PS 110. A huge thank you to Principal Anna Amato, Ms. Rocchio, Ms. Atson, and the rest of the amazing staff at PS 110 that helped us make this a successful event!
Broadway Stages donated books and backpacks for the Back to School Fair with the Greenpoint YMCA. They also donated funds to provide scholarship opportunities for families in Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
The COMPASS after-school program at PS 110 came for a visit to the set of one of our longest-running shows, "Blue Bloods." We would like to thank Katarzyna Selwesiuk (far right) for her dedication working with the kids this summer.
Broadway Stages and ExxonMobil partnered once again for another exciting week of Green Science at PS 110, The Monitor School, here in Greenpoint, New York. Thank you to Mad Science, Alley Pond, Queens Botanical Garden, Schmitty the Weather Dog, and Movie Kitchen for a successful week of workshops, shows, and treats!
Broadway Stages is proud to support the Federation of Italian-American Organizations of Brooklyn (FIAO). For 36 years, FIAO has provided a gamut of services directed at improving the quality of life of individuals and families in the community, with a focus on the most vulnerable members of society – immigrants, seniors, and youth.
These services include social assistance and educational and recreational programs. They also provide scholarships to high school graduates pursuing higher education and cultural initiatives such as the Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade and exchange programs.
A state-of-the-art cultural center called Il Centro will soon be located at 8711 18th Ave., (Cristoforo Colombo Blvd). This will allow the organization to expand services and will serve as a cultural resource to Italian Americans as well as become a model to all ethnic groups in how to preserve, celebrate, and share one's own heritage in a multicultural society.
Congratulations to the scholarship winners and FIAO for an amazing year. For more information please visit http://fiaobrooklyn.org/.
With school budgets cut each year, extracurricular activities like chess need funding. With help from neighbors like Broadway Stages, the students at PS 34 Oliver H. Perry Elementary School can stay active, learn, and excel in higher learning. This year the school will be sending two students to the nationals for the very first time.
Broadway Stages provided funding for the St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Academy to purchase new audio equipment, giving students the tools needed to express themselves artistically.
Please visit www.ststansacademy.org for more information about the school and to get involved.
