Our Mission & Story
PROJECT BROADWAY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to fostering participation in enriching theater arts educational experiences for students who may not otherwise have access to an education in the arts. Project Broadway offers scholarships for children to participate in intensive theater training programs and enriching workshops focusing on self-confidence and exploration of the theater arts. These unique experiences help nurture the development of important life skills, encourage self-expression, and motivate authentic development for students of all ages.
Project Broadway is proud to provide free theater arts workshops, and full scholarships for students to participate in camps, classes, intensives, and productions.
Project Broadway was founded in 2010 by Marc Tumminelli, who, while producing youth productions through our partner organization Broadway Workshop, saw firsthand how many talented young performers lacked access to high-quality theater training due to financial barriers. As audiences witnessed the transformative impact of his productions, community members and families began reaching out, eager to contribute and support the students they saw thriving on stage.
From that growing generosity, Project Broadway was born, built on the belief that every young person deserves the chance to explore their potential through the performing arts. What began as one director’s response to a need has evolved into a vibrant nonprofit empowering hundreds of students each year to learn, grow, and shine both on and off the stage.
