School of Rock star and former Broadway.com vlogger Alex Brightman is set to host the second annual Shubert Foundation High School Theatre Festival on March 7. The event, which showcases theater education in NYC public high schools, will spotlight over 100 students performing on a Broadway stage. It will be held at the Winter Garden Theatre, home of School of Rock.
The Festival features students from five NYC high schools performing excerpts from their winter productions for top industry professionals. The young actors will perform selections from The Laramie Project, Fences, Beauty and the Beast, A Raisin in the Sun and Miss Saigon.
The productions were selected from over 20 across NYC by a panel of theater professionals and arts educators. The Festival is sponsored by The Shubert Foundation in partnership with the New York City Department of Education.
Break a leg, everyone!
