Broadway Programs
STG’s Broadway Programs include a variety of events, residencies, and experiences that include an intersection of educational and community engagement opportunities in relation to Broadway shows, artists, and themes.

Sensory Friendly & Inclusive Performance
WHAT IS A SENSORY-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE?
Sensory-friendly and inclusive performances are designed to provide a supportive and judgment-free environment for people affected by sensory processing challenges so they may enjoy the shared experience of live theatre.
Learn more about upcoming sensory-friendly or inclusive performances, and read about past programs and performances here.
Broadway Inclusion Program
STG’s Broadway Inclusion Program provides theatre arts programming to neurodivergent and/or disabled community members and their families and caregivers. Participants tend to be between 8-50 years old, but all ages and abilities are welcome!
Participants meet once a week to explore musical theatre and movement-based activities in a creative and safe environment. At the end of each quarter, participants present a final share, where friends and family are invited to observe and participate. This program is now run via livestream, recorded classes, and in-person. For more information click here.
Disney Musicals in School
Disney Musicals In Schools (DMIS) is a free program where STG Teaching Artists partner with educators and staff members in selected Title I elementary schools to produce Disney KIDS musicals and create sustainable theatre programs at their schools.
Beyond The Pit
Beyond the Pit provides an opportunity for musicians of all ages and skill levels to observe a free professional Broadway orchestra rehearsal at The Paramount Theatre. Jack Klitzman, STG’s Music Director for Broadway, provides sheet music and connection as local musicians work with touring show musicians to prepare for the upcoming show.
