Open Stage is Changing the Game
Connection
Students from all 5 NYC boroughs network with Broadway professionals, as well as their own peers and future colleagues.
Exposure
In addition to the backstage space, students tour scenic, props, and lighting shops to gain a full understanding of the pieces it takes to put a show together.
Mentorship
Each student builds a lasting relationship with a mentor that will stay with them well after their time in the Open Stage program.
A donation to Open Stage Project is an actionable way to help ensure equal representation in the entertainment community. Open Stage Project students are the future of Broadway and the faces of a more inclusive backstage space.
