“On the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of the Broadway ‘JR’ experience for NYC’s middle schools…,” Freddie says the city celebrated the conversion of “schools totally lacking in arts programs… into fully arts-integrated schools in six years … a short time to change their worlds (without any U.S. Department of Education support).”
In this, his 18th blog for the Huffington Post, entitled: Wizard Casts Spell Over Broadway Stage, Freddie describes how groups from the public and private sectors — including “The ArtsConnection” amd his own company, “MTI,” and its “Broadway Jr.” program — have brought self-sustainable theater and arts education to middle schools where there was none before.
