FooteSteps to Broadway

Grades: Rising 1–9
Price: $1,000 (two-week program)

Every musical tells a hero's story. Every hero comes from somewhere. Together, our four groups travel through the landscape of musical theater — from folktale to phenomenon — discovering that the most powerful voice in the room has always been yours. The final cabaret performance opens with all four groups on stage together and closes the same way — bookending the show with a reminder that every dreamer, adventurer, fighter, and change-maker is part of one community, one story, one stage. 

Musicals featured: 

  • Grades K–1: The Little Mermaid
  • Grades 2-3: Annie

  • Middle School: Hamilton

Optional lunch add-on for $100

Grades K–1: The Dreamer

Folktale & Storybook Musicals: The Little Mermaid

These youngest performers explore the magic of storytelling through whimsical, wonder-filled musicals rooted in folktale and fairy tale traditions. Big feelings, simple heroes, and the belief that anything is possible.

Discovery: Curiosity, creativity, and joyful inquiry light up every rehearsal. These students are just beginning to ask the big question: "Who do I want to be?"

Grades 2–3: The Adventurer

American Roots & Classic Broadway: Annie

Students step into stories about courage, friendship, and finding your place in the world. These are the musicals that built Broadway — full of heart, humor, and unforgettable characters who dare to keep going.

Authenticity: Students begin to develop their unique identities, discovering that who they are is exactly enough to carry a story.

Grades 4–5: The Fighter

International Stage & Empowerment Musicals: Matilda

Students take on stories from across the globe — musicals that ask harder questions, lift up underrepresented voices, and celebrate what it looks like to stand up for something bigger than yourself.

Community: Students explore what it means to be connected to each other and to a wider world, responsible and ready to lead.

Middle School: The Change-maker

Contemporary & Culturally Groundbreaking Musicals: Hamilton

The most complex stories for the most complex thinkers. These students wrestle with identity, justice, and transformation through musicals that have literally changed what Broadway looks and sounds like.
