THE STUDIO
Broadway in Boulder Studios was formed to create a conservatory based studio, joining the best voice and musical theater students, regardless of ability to pay, from schools across Boulder and all the surrounding areas. By creating a place where students from different schools and Universities come to practice, grow and learn from each other, Broadway in Boulder Studios has challenged previous notions of artistic lines and created a working studio of young artists to share ideas with each other, and prepare for the next step in their journey; be it high school auditions, acceptance to college or polishing for a professional career.
