The students’ itinerary includes:

A Musical Theatre Workshop at Pearl Studios in Manhattan led by acclaimed choreographer, dancer, and educator Natalia Nieves and made possible through the collaboration of R.Evolución Latina, Luis Salgado, Denisse Ambert, and Teatro SEA.

Complimentary admission to the Museum of Broadway, providing students and their families with an immersive exploration of the history and impact of Broadway. This experience is made possible through the generosity of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), Commissioner Rafael Espinal, Carla Hoke-Miller, and the Museum of Broadway.

Fifty complimentary tickets to attend II: Girls :II: Chance :II: Music :II by Pulitzer Prize finalist Eisa Davis at the renowned Vineyard Theatre. This opportunity was made possible through the generosity of the Vineyard Theatre and their Pay-It-Forward program.

“Many of these students will be visiting New York City for the first time and experiencing professional theater at this level for the first time,” said Dr. Manuel Antonio Morán, Founder and Artistic Director of Teatro SEA and Founder of EL MUSICAL. “We hope these experiences inspire them to dream boldly, pursue their artistic passions, and recognize that there is a place for their voices and stories in the future of American theater.”

Dr. Morán, a native of Vega Baja, has worked closely with the Municipality of Vega Baja (Hon. Marcos Cruz Molina, Mayor) to help create opportunities for the students participating in the trip.

“It is a privilege to serve the young people of my hometown,” said Morán. “This initiative reflects exactly what EL MUSICAL was created to do: connect young artists with opportunities, mentors, and experiences that can change the course of their lives.”
