Last year, students from Greenwich to Hartford, CT competed in this popular audition and talent development event. Cidalia Alves, the 2014 winner, gained valuable talent development skills from the NPT Broadway professionals, and was appeared on TV following the competition. “The chance to perform in front of Broadway decision makers and to network with them was invaluable,” said Alves.

Kristin Huffman, NPT’s Producing Artistic Director, a Broadway Performer and a professor at the University of Hartford, will also lead a master-class-like panel discussion with TV and Film professional, Scott Bryce, Film and Broadway music Producer Paul Bogaev and University Professor from the Hartt School, Tracey Moore. The competitors and audience will have a Q&A session, and will receive general advice regarding life on the ‘wicked’ stage. Huffman says, “Mentoring and talent development is a large part of NPT’s mission statement. We often feature standout performers from this event in NPT’s various professional shows. Our Youth Board & Student Leadership Council, made up of Milford to Greenwich teen leader students, is also involved with this event. Our Youth Board crowd-funds and performs for other nonprofits also.”
