Education.
But what happens when you’ve had the hardest 2 years of your life?
You stabilize your foundation.
This is what we are doing at The Academy in 2022.
The Problem
2 years of cancellations, delays, and endless heartache.
However, what didn’t stop?
College auditions. Every fall, thousands of high school seniors have continued auditioning for Musical Theatre college programs with an average acceptance rate of 1%.
Yes, you read that correctly. 3,000 will audition for a specific college program and 25 will be accepted. Ouch.
MT College Program Stats
But!
How do we know this to be true?
97% of our Academy students either passed their college prescreen auditions or got into their top-choice college programs to study musical theatre. Yes, even online during the pandemic.
Any program out there can simply give you access to Broadway performers. That is an experience not training.
The Academy focuses on determining and strengthening what will set you apart from the rest onstage (consistency and versatility in storytelling) and offstage (work ethic, discipline, professional network building).
You will walk away not only with a solid foundation and understanding of your performance work, but also the necessary level of professionalism, discipline, and understanding of self to endure the rigor of pursuing this at both the collegiate and professional level.
That is The Academy difference.
Your Old Way
Put your head down and get the work, training, and education done at all cost.
Outcome?
Anxiety, depression, and burnout.
Your New Way
Commit to a training program with a spacious foundation to balance your wellness, educational, and artistic goals.
Outcome?
Clarity, calm, and results.
Our Old Way
During the pandemic, we learned at The Broadway Collective that we had to create a new way as a record number of our students were battling mental health issues. The pandemic created an opportunity for all of us to examine how we can be better.
Our New Way
In 2022, our programming will be based on a sprint and rest model. Why? Because if rest isn’t built in–this generation will not take it.
Rest = Recovery
Recovery = Results
Introducing
The Sprint Model
Train with us for 12 months.
Sprint 90 days then rest 30 days. Repeat 3 times.

"46% of parents say their teen has shown signs of a new or worsening mental health condition since the start of the pandemic in March 2020."
In 2022, we are continuing to make mental health and rest foundational tenets of our programming.
Students and Parents are invited to a Monthly 90 minute Community Coaching Call.
30 minutes with a mental health expert, 30 minutes with an Academy Coach, and 30 minutes with an Industry Expert.
The Faculty
Direct Access Education
We believe in the power of direct access education: when you are preparing for a career in a certain field, it is crucial to receive your education from those who are currently immersed in it.
We give you a faculty made up of educators who are involved in the industry–and where it’s headed–in all aspects.
The 2022 Academy Faculty will be announced in January.
There will be a full-time faculty of 3 Dance, 3 Vocal, and 3 Acting coaches. This gives students the opportunity to have a personally assigned coach in each discipline to follow their progress and ensure learning outcomes are being met through the entire 12 months of the program.
You will be the student of professors from your top choice college Musical Theatre programs, casting directors of your favorite Broadway shows, the agents and managers who submit their clients for said shows–even the directors and choreographers of today and tomorrow.

I'm a parent. How can I help my child succeed in this program?
When you register your child for this program you also gain access to special parent programming just for you! We provide parent-only informational sessions throughout the year and we create a community for you to participate in and connect with other parents. Get practical info about what it takes to succeed in this industry. Ask all your questions about college, scholarships, auditions, Broadway salaries and benefits, the theatre industry, actor’s unions, life in NYC—and get honest answers. Learn how to support your child during exciting times (leading roles!) and hard times (tough auditions and rejection) and everything in between.
Parents will be invited to our monthly support calls in February, March, April, October, November and December. They will also be provided 4 weeks of coursework through our Gathered programming.
Behind every successful artist is a parent saying, “I believe in you.” Parents, we applaud you, and we’re here for you.
I have another question not mentioned here.

A Note from Robert
Hello Friends,
At our core, The Broadway Collective’s primary hope for all of our students is that they are able to wonder, discover, and grow within our programs. Our investment in your success and growth does not begin and end after an event with us- at The Broadway Collective, you are a part of a community of people whose individual names are known and stories are celebrated.
We accept a limited number of students into our programs each year, and so you are never just a number or random face in the crowd. You become a member of our family.
We give our full commitment to you and your individual journey here at The Broadway Collective. All we ask for in return is your trust in our program and give your full commitment to it.
Broadway Collective students stand out from the crowd with their remarkable preparation, professionalism, positive attitude, and artistry. We prepare not only the performers of tomorrow, but the well-rounded, kind people who will make up the bright future of our industry.
That is The Academy difference.
I do hope we get the opportunity to partner with your family in 2022 and work together to make your goals fully realized results.
My all,
Robert Hartwell
Founder + Artistic Director
The Broadway Collective
