This Summer is going to be
SO FETCH!

THE ANNOUNCEMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!! 

We’ve been keeping a major secret, and it’s finally time to spill the tea:
Our Summer Musical Theatre Workshop special guest star and master teacher is…

KRYSTINA ALABADO @krystinaalabado — aka Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls on Broadway!**

We are thrilled to have her with us. 
She’s not just teaching a masterclass (which is SO major), she’s also performing with our students in the end-of-week sharing.
Yes. You get to rehearse, train, and SLAY the stage with a real-life Plastic.
Some of her other credits are: American Idiot, Evita, American Psycho, Spring Awakening… and of course, she made fetch happen eight shows a week on Broadway in Mean Girls. And she's also the voice of Cherri Bomb in the hit animated series Hazbin Hotel on Amazon Prime. 
So get your PINK ready (even if it’s not Wednesday), get your burn book of questions together, and let the countdown begin to the most FETCH week of the summer!!! The only group that has a couple spots left is the High School division. Other divisions are SOLD OUT. So High Schoolers RUN to register! July 28-Aug 1. Parker Theatre on the campus of SUNY New Paltz.

Love! We love Denise! My daughter has thrived under her tutelage for many years. We started her performance journey at 8 with the Summerfords and now at 16, we have engaged  BAC to help us prepare for college auditions!  We have enjoyed seasonal, daily and summer master classes and camps. Thank you!
-- Nicole A., BAC parent

I can not recommend Broadway Arts Collective enough. This was such an amazing experience for my daughter and I can’t wait for the next one. I saw so much growth and confidence in my daughter from just the one week she attended.
-- T. White, BAC parent

My daughter has been training with Denise Summerford and Broadway Arts Collective for 7 years. In workshops with Broadway professionals, she has received incredible training in singing, dancing and acting. BAC has helped prepare her for college, where she will be studying Vocal Performance and Musical Theater. We are extremely grateful to Denise for providing  such exceptional opportunities to learn, train and grow as an artist. I strongly recommend BAC if you have a child who wants to perform. There is no better training.
-- N.D., BAC parent
