Broadway Big Brother/Big Sister to Perform at Hunter College

Lindsay Live | Jun 08, 2009 | 0

NEW YORK--Lainie Munro's Broadway Big Brother/Big Sister Program in New York City will perform at The Danny Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College as part of the Broadway Dance Center Children and Teen Recital June 14 at 3 and 7 p.m.

Since its beginning in 2001, more than 85 dancers from the Broadway
community have participated in the program. Young dancers ages 9-17 get the
unique opportunity of working with Broadway professionals one-on-one.

After an audition in the Spring, 14 dancers were selected and matched with a
Broadway professional whose own personality, style, and interests compliment
the child- a true "Big Brother" or "Big Sister." The children meet on five
Sunday evenings, working side by side with their Big Brother or Big Sister
as they rehearse a production number choreographed by
Lainie
Munro. This year the production number will be Liza Minelli's City Lights from the Kander & Ebb musical The Act.
