Train and perform alongside working professionals

Our students have the advantage of learning first-hand all aspects and inner workings of a musical theater production by a team of highly qualified teachers who are industry professionals, all having worked on Broadway and notable Regional Theaters. We strive to create live theatrical events that transcend the expectations of a “children’s theatre” program while providing a safe environment for young people to explore their unique and individual talents.

Broadway Arts Lab continues to provide a community for our students with virtual classes and on-line private lessons ARTS EDUCATION

Through arts education, students develop new skills as individual performers while learning to work as a team with the other participants.

The BALCO team believes that arts education is a necessary adjunct to academic education. The faculty of BALCO honors the “Old-School” methods of performing arts training while striving to stay on top of the contemporary and currently evolving methods of arts education. Our faculty members are professional actors, singers and dancers, but most importantly highly qualified teachers, eager to share their knowledge and experiences with students. This makes for a truly well -rounded experience for the students, where learning and growth is not only the goal but the inevitable outcome.

Upon completion of our programs students will: Execute healthy vocal and physical warm-ups Work in an intensive Broadway-style rehearsal process Develop a strong work ethic, people skills and Gain confidence and self-esteem through healthy creative self-expression Learn music and choreography to many different songs, from many different shows Meet, rehearse and perform with Broadway Performers, Stage Managers and Musicians Perform in a professional theatre with costumes, lights, and microphones Smile and Laugh as students explore their own creativity and imagination.
