"The Broadway League believes that when kids experience Broadway shows, they become hooked for life," stated Charlotte St. Martin, executive
director of The Broadway League. "Live theatre — thought-provoking plays and captivating musicals — can enrich lives and inspire kids of all
ages."
The 14th Annual Kids' Night on Broadway will kick off in New York City on Feb. 2, 2010, with a pre-theatre party at Madame Tussauds New York. Kids' Night ticket holders "will experience unique theatre activities as well as the famous attraction for free," according to The Broadway League. "Pre-theatre events will also take place on Feb. 3 at Madame Tussauds New York. Festivities on Feb. 7 will be announced soon."
(Kids' Night on Broadway will also take place in other cities, with
different shows putting their own spin on the event, on different dates
throughout the year.)
The Broadway "Kids Table," an educational component, of Kids' Night on Broadway, will offer three kids (and their guests) a "chance to be randomly selected to attend a special pre-theatre dinner
with a celebrated Broadway performer and receive complimentary tickets
to a Broadway show."
For a chance to participate in the Kids Table on Feb. 2, kids
should visit KidsNightonBroadway.com. (They will
need to read through Thru the Stage Door's newest study guide, "Broadway
101," and click on the Kids Table tab when finished.)
