Breaking Down Broadway

Breaking Down Broadway is designed to be a eight-month “book club - like” exploration into theatrical interpreting, running from January to August annually.  With this format, we will take one script and spend the extended time breaking it down, analyzing it for meaning and developing the interpreted performance.

All this will take place in a safe, supportive and FUN environment!
