Save the Date! 15th Annual Benefit for the Community-Word Project

Broadway Stages is a long-time supporter of the Community-Word Project, a New York City-based arts-in-education organization that inspires children in underserved communities to read, interpret, and respond to their world and to become active citizens through collaborative arts residencies and teacher training programs.

Community-Word Project started 17 years ago with one classroom in the Bronx. Today, the organization is in more than 80 classrooms helping 2,000 kids.

Learn more at www.communitywordproject.org and save the date, April 22, for an auction event to support the organization. Broadway Stages is proud to sponsor this event as part of our commitment to provide educational opportunities for local students.

Broadway Stages Is Proud to Sponsor Schoolfest

Town Square's 8th annual Schoolfest is a one-of-a-kind school fair for North Brooklyn students and parents. All schools, early childhood centers, and extracurricular providers are invited to a single venue to meet North Brooklyn families.

We are excited to announce that this year Schoolfest will be held at the North 5th Center in Williamsburg. The center is conveniently located just blocks away from the Bedford L-station and Williamsburg waterfront.
