Broadway Stages Is Excited to Support the Community-Word Project in 2018

The Community-Word Project (CWP) inspires thousands of young students in numerous communities to explore and develop their creative arts. The CWP focuses on providing New York children with a stimulating arts curriculum to encourage self development while integrating critical discovery of personal art and personal learning.

The sponsored classroom programs collaborate with visual artists, writers, musicians, photographers, and theater performers, making sure that students can participate in a variety of art forms to expand their creative nature. In fact, each student is able to intimately engage in and explore different forms of art thanks to the student-to-teacher 6-1 ratio central to CWP learning styles. The CWP ultimately seeks to build a community for young people to learn and contribute to the New York arts scene.

Gina Argento, President of Broadway Stages, seeks to enrich the artistic education of over 2,500 students across 22 schools. She is excited to have helped support the project, which has positively impacted students for 19 years. Her sponsorship of the annual CWP benefit Writing Our Future helped raise over $160,000 from the New York community. This year's amazing dedication from community members propels CWP to reach even more students and schools. Gina is excited that more students will receive high-quality artistic education lessons this year and hopes you can join her and the CWP community to reach even more students next year.

Broadway Stages President Contributes to St. Francis Genovesi Scholarship

Gina Argento, CEO of Broadway Stages, is excited to add the St. Francis Genovesi Scholarship to the list of sponsored scholarships to which she contributes. Believing in providing students with access to quality educational resources, Gina wishes to eliminate or significantly reduce financial barriers to educational opportunities for students.

One of the most effective ways she has found to address this is by contributing to school-sponsored scholarships such as the St. Francis Genovesi Scholarship. Recipients of the scholarship will be able to subsidize tuition or related costs like textbooks. Scholarships are highly beneficial because they lessen students' financial uncertainty, allowing them to solely focus on their academic studies. She is enthusiastic to continue to contribute to St. Francis scholarships, as she has done in the past, and looks forward to continue working with St. Francis for the benefit of its students.
