Overview

Mission

Broadway for All shapes the next generation of advocates for radical inclusivity and anti-racism through engagement with the performing arts. We bring together young artists with entertainment industry trailblazers to develop socially conscious leaders and passionate creators. Through Broadway For All's programming, students from disparate socio-economic and cultural backgrounds share their passion for the arts while exchanging ideas and expanding their worldview.

What it reported doing in 2023

Broadway For All (BFA) is a Manhattan-based national organization providing young artists and stakeholders in entertainment with the programming, community, and vision to build a more inclusive and powerful arts industry. Founded in 2012 through Harvard University's Presidential Public Service Fellowship program, BFA initially set out to diversify the stage and screen through a free intensive summer conservatory prioritizing education, access, and exposure. Today, BFA operates its flagship conservatory, including tracks in Digital Content Creation, Dramatic Writing, Musical Theater, and Drama; "BFA 365" to coach students applying to arts education programs; and "Access For All," to connect historically excluded communities to experiences in theater and arts entertainment.
