Geena's Broadway Dreams

In January of 2019 Geena took part in the New Zealand Broadway Dreams intensive held at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna this year. This program is a week long premier development intensive for upcoming talent where students receive training and support from current Broadway creatives and performers. From this program they awarded 4 students a Scholarship into the Broadway Dreams annual New York Showcase held in America each year accumulating the best performers from Broadway Dreams Showcases held all around the world including America, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Germany and since 2018 - New Zealand! The showcase will give them all the opportunity to work alongside Broadway Creative’s in putting together a showcase performance that is viewed by numerous representatives of the industry (casting directors, agents, creators of new works)

Broadway Dreams established in 2006 and have developed into one of the most renowned theatre intensives in the Broadway Industry. Broadway Dreams has shown Geena how to awaken her highest potentials as a performer. It has inspired and invited her to explore this art form through all aspects of the world and especially right back here in New Zealand. There is so much personal and professional development that she will get from attending this showcase and the mentorship opportunity’s that this program offers.

Due to unforeseen circumstances her efforts to fundraise this year have become a lot more problematic than anticipated, and she is in need of as much funding as she can obtain before November arrives so that she can make the most of this opportunity that has been gifted to her. All of the finances from these donations will go towards funding this trip to New York as the scholarship only covers the cost of participation in the program.

Geena - now 18 years old - is currently working towards furthering my tertiary education in theatre overseas having graduated high school just last year. She is so thankful for what theatre has taught her and for what it continues to serve.
