Mentorship programs brings the next generation to Broadway
CBSN
Broadway is where dreams come true for theater lovers. Mentorship programs are working to bring young audiences, creatives and performers to the Great Bright Way.
The Theater Development Fund's Wendy Wasserstein Project connects mentors to students around New York and takes kids to Broadway shows. Since its founding in 1978, some 60 mentors have brought 4,000 students to shows. This year, eight of those students are from the Young Women's Leadership School of Manhattan, a public all-girls school in Harlem. Their mentor is Tony Award-winning lyricist David Zippel.
"I do open doors, because I'm so excited about live theater that I want to share that with as many people as I can," Zippel told CBS Saturday Morning.
