Up until that date, the only events of its nature were Dance Competitions and Conventions. Company founder, Broadway veteran performer Ron DeVito expanding the dance competition market developing the idea over numerous years while performing on Broadway in shows such as Cats, 42nd Street & Starlight Express. Utilizing his experience and Broadway credentials, Ron included the Acting & Vocal Arts to the growing live talent event industry. Over the past two decades Ron & The Access Broadway® Company have produced and presented countless events throughout the country which has brought this original program to students, teachers & aspiring performers. Numerous attendees have started their professional careers through this innovative program which proudly features constructive and diverse talent competitions, performing arts education and professional opportunities.
ACCESS BROADWAY UPDATE...COVID-19 PANDEMIC
PLANNING FOR MUCH BETTER TIMES AND FUTURE EVENTS!
Dear Studio Directors, Students and Families,
I hope you; your families and studio members are all healthy and well as we all navigate safely though the COVID-19 pandemic. With the recent government announcement of stay at home orders and three phase economy start up, Access Broadway® has had to unfortunately cancel the rest of our previously advertised 2020 season including our Jersey Shore Nationals. The positive news is our health experts indicate that we will be on or close to normal operations by mid-summer. We optimistically look forward to a full and speedy recovery for all in time for school openings in September.
During this unprecedented event, many of you are aware that Access Broadway® is one of the very few organizations that issued full refunds to schools in which we were forced to cancel our event due to the COVID-19 Crisis. We are in financial hardship and understand you and everyone else is too. We send our many thanks and gratitude to those who have recognized this with your kind comments of our program and policies on social media platforms.
As we look ahead and plan for the future, Access Broadway® has booked two very exciting events in October. This is not the usual time of year that we present events however, considering our unusual circumstances this season, we feel the timing of these events couldn’t be better. We cordially invite you to consider attending one of these exciting events and celebrate our love and passion for the Performing Arts.
