The Broadway Star Project
Where Stars Learn to Shine
The professional launchpad for young performers. Musical theater, Film, Television, and Voice Over training guided by Broadway and Hollywood professionals.
Our Mission
Dream Big.
Make It Happen.
At The Broadway Star Project, we believe in the power of discipline, dedication, and determination fueled by pure, unapologetic dreams. BSP was built on one: A place where young performers turn their aspirations into reality, through intensive training, real-world experiences, and a supportive community, all guided by Broadway and Hollywood professionals and an unparalleled set of career-making values.
Our alumni’s achievements speak for us. Theirs are not feel-good stories. They are the BSP model working exactly as intended.
Success Stories
From Training Rooms to Broadway Stages.
Meet the young artists whose BSP training became professional credits on Broadway, on tour, on screen, and beyond.
