Making Broadway more accessible. That’s the goal of the Broadway Bridges program that allows 10th graders in any public high school in the five boroughs to buy a show ticket for $10.
“I love taking my students because when you go with the students, their energy is contagious,” Ramona Fittipaldi, a math teacher at the Young Women’s Leadership School in Harlem, told PIX11 News.
Without the Broadway Bridges program, “My students wouldn’t necessarily be able to afford going to a Broadway show or may not even know about the opportunities out there,” Fittipaldi said.
