'Broadway Classroom' gives regard to China

The Broadway Classroom program, in which Broadway performers and American musical theater arts professionals provide training to youngsters, is making its international debut in China.

Partnering with China's music education-consulting firm, Motif Music, the John Gore Organization's ongoing Broadway Classroom program is visiting seven schools and two organizations, with the goal of instructing more than 1,000 Chinese students in Shanghai and Wuhan over an 11-day period.

"We are thrilled with Broadway Classroom's debut in China in the New Year," said John Gore, owner and CEO of the organization that bears his name. Broadway Classroom is a key education-engagement initiative of the organization.
