Firestone on Broadway

Plans for the upcoming Thespian Trip to NYC are ongoing.

Our Thespian trip to the Big Apple is a little bit different than others we have heard of. We take a small group --preferably 12 kids or less -- so that we can be more flexible once we get to the city. We fly instead of taking a bus. We stay in a midtown hotel instead of Jersey. We walk everywhere -- unless there is a subway nearby. No bus tours of the city for us.

The small size of our group allows us to move more freely through the city. It also avails us to the kind of backstage tours that would not otherwise be available to us. Instead of relying on a travel agent to make arrangements witht eh commercial tour sites in the city, we exploit our personal and professional connections to open doors that would not give us access. We have previously received backstage tours of WICKED THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE and THE PRODUCERS, among others, thanks to our connections to theatre artists working in NYC.

We have several friends currently in a Broadway production so it is hard to choose what to see when we got there in April.
