We are delighted to partner with our friends at The Osher Marin JCC (San Rafael, CA) to bring you Broadway Backstage – a Series of online Broadway “Backstage” Experiences with Special Guests, Stars from the Stage!
You’re invited to take part in either a 4-part series of special evenings with Broadway performers ($60), or any one of the four evenings separately ($20). The programs are hosted by Osher Marin JCC Program Director & Broadway/opera instructor James Sokol, who will sneak you in the Stage Door to go “backstage” on Broadway! A different, special guest theater professional – who brings his/her unique expertise, experiences and insights to the discussion – will be featured at each of these exclusive, behind-the-scenes visits. Live Q&A and photos/video clips (when available) will enrich the experience.
The events take place online on four Thursdays between Sept 3-24 from 4:00-5:30pm (EDT) on the Zoom platform.
Your ticket purchase helps support not only this program, but also our special guests – theater professionals – who are mostly or completely out of work.
Come learn, off-stage, what makes the magic happen on-stage!
