Theater Program

Fidelity FutureStage Enables over 600 NYC students from 10 different public schools to get a real view into the world of Broadway theater.

Students learn firsthand from industry professionals about acting, playwriting, directing and all the behind-the-scenes production. Each student writes a 10-minute play and one play from each school is chosen to have the opportunity to be performed by the students on a Broadway stage.

Students participate in in-school and out-of-school activities, including:

  • field trips to Broadway performances
  • hands-on mentoring by professionals
  • school visits by celebrities
  • writing their own plays
  • performing their own work on a Broadway stage
 
On June 14, 2010, NYC students will have their plays produced at Broadway's Imperial Theatre. Meet Our Students.
