“America isn’t just one color or one story, it’s a melting pot of experiences, cultures, backgrounds, and viewpoints,” said Hartwell, a seven-time Broadway show veteran (most recently in the Tony Award-winning production of Hello, Dolly! starring Bette Midler). “The Broadway Collective believes that it is high time for professional musical theatre to be just as diverse and complex as our country -- and we have a plan to help change it starting at the educational level. Right now, there are lots of underrepresented, and underserved students around the country who dream of working on Broadway when they grow up—but many of these kids don’t have access to the arts education they need. This puts that child at a huge educational disadvantage; we are determined to change that.”

This year, Hartwell’s team fielded hundreds of audition videos—submitted from all around the country —to find the most promising young performers nationwide. Fifteen high school students have been selected for the 2019 Project Next Gen scholarship award.

These fifteen award recipients will travel to New York City this summer for master classes with Tony Award-winning performers, meetings with managers and casting directors, tickets to Broadway shows, backstage tours, dinner with cast members, plus airfare, hotel accommodation, and meals (for both student and a parent/chaperone)—all included.

Project Next Gen's mission is to make arts education accessible to everyone—regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, or economic situation—and bring more diversity and inclusivity to the future of Broadway and beyond. Hartwell has a deeply personal connection to this mission.

A NOTE from Robert Hartwell

“Right now, there are too many young underserved students of color who dream of working on Broadway—but many of these kids don’t have access to the arts education they need. Their school might not have a theatre program due to budget cuts. Their neighborhood might not have a dance studio.This puts that child at a huge educational disadvantage especially when it’s time to audition for competive BFA programs - they are behind. With your help, we are determined to change this.” - Robert Hartwell, Founder
