The Gathered
Experience
before NYC
You receive a printed coursebook that gets you ready for NYC. There’s a 1-hour webinar and homework assignment each week leading up to Gathered. By the end of the 2 months, you will be performance ready and industry researched. PS: Our coursebook is a popular aspect of Gathered according to our alumni!
5 Days in NYC
You will also dine with surprise Broadway guests and present what you’ve learned at the end of the week to parents and industry guests with a final Sharecase performance.
After NYC
Families leave GATHERED with a new community and a fresh perspective about making their Broadway dream into a reality. This is an experience that changes the trajectory of a young performer’s life and career.
The gathered Impact
On STudents
Our Gathered alumni are on Broadway, touring the United States, and pounding the pavement of the industry in NYC—with a work ethic, gumption, and tenacity instilled in them from their time at Gathered.
Gathered and The Broadway Collective alumni have also been accepted to every top BFA Musical Theatre college program out there–we know the work works.

The gathered Impact
On families
We know that parents are nervous.
We know that parents want a plan.
We know that parents want support—for their child, and for themselves too.
At Gathered, we have created robust programming specifically curated for the parents, because we know first hand that a life in the arts takes a community and it is a family investment from the start.
As a parent attending Gathered, you get to partake in Q&As and be in the room with working professionals directly from Broadway–giving you the honest truth about what it takes to grow into this business.
Because your support and investment in your child’s career and talent is just as vital to their success—so we want to show up for you too!

A Letter from
Robert
Dear Friend,
What do you think is your biggest calling?
I was recently watching the annual Broadway Inspirational Voices Holiday Concert—the music was stunning and moving as always. Then, a group of students from Laguardia High School got up and sang with the choir, and it was mentorship IN action. And I completely fell apart, a puddle in my friend Bryan’s arms, weeping like a baby.
And it was in that very moment that I realized, “Robert, THAT is the work that you are called to do!”
I think as an entrepreneur it’s easy to think I have to “stay in one lane.” But no—I have multiple lanes in my life that I have been called to!
One is being a great son, one is being a storytelling coach, and one is YOU—mentoring the next generation of Broadway!
During the pandemic we saw exponential growth in The Broadway Collective, because we were equipped and ready to take on online education—but, what ended up happening was we had a LOT of families to tend to, which I am so grateful for, but talking about “the dream for Broadway” for 18 months while Broadway didn’t exist was not easy!
So, when I decided to put The Broadway Collective on pause and finish filming my TV show on MAX “Breaking New Ground” produced by the Oprah Winfrey Network and HGTV —I was tired.
And tired is the last thing I am today. I am fired up and ready to do this work together.
So, when I saw those teens at this concert, I saw all the teens I’ve brought to NYC for years and years to do Gathered, and I knew I had to get back to that work, that calling.
Now, nearly 9 years after starting The Broadway Collective, one of my greatest joys is seeing our alumni winning in the industry—touring the country, showing up to auditions and putting in the work, creating community everywhere they go, taking care of their mental health and breaking glass ceilings with their truth and their talent.
We can’t stop this work. This work is vital to nurturing the next generation of artists and empowering them to take up space and work hard.
It’s time to have the summer of your life and gather for a transformational experience that your family will look back on as a banner experience for your confidence, commitment, and career.
See you in NYC this summer!
