Since 1996, more than 200,000 kids and teens have attended Broadway shows through this program.
James remembered that “my parents took me to see ‘Cats’ when I was in kindergarten. This was around the same time I sang on stage for the first time—at my kindergarten graduation.” Sharing how theater made them feel, Ricketts admitted, “It was a terrifying yet gratifying experience. For the first time, I was able to express myself using my body as the instrument. It made me feel powerful. For the first time, the audience got to see all of me.
James proudly proclaimed, “Of course, this experience directly influenced me being able to see performing as a career path. The bonus was how exciting it was to be transported to a magical place in a way that only live theater can do.” For James, “Live entertainment is one of the last places in our world where we can really put down our phones and connect with other people. The stories we tell can be transformative and transporting, but I think it’s also valuable to remember that we can create community with each other.”
