In Ramsey: From Blocks to Broadway

There is no doubt that The Learning Experience® (TLE®) Early Learning Academy provides excellent childcare and educational foundation for the young children enrolled. But, what may not be as well known is how TLE® teaches through its all-inclusive theater enrichment program Talent Sprouts®, which recently resulted in an off-Broadway star.

It was a short time ago Brooke Lynn Murray, now 6, attended TLE® in Ramsey, N.J., where her biggest focus was ensuring she mastered her ABC’s and 1,2,3’s. Brooke discovered her love for theater at a young age through TLE®’s Talent Sprouts®, along with additional programs including Music 4 Me®, and Movin’ N Groovin®.

Performing in her first play, Zoosical, at the young age of 4. Theater helped blossom young Brooke and other students through building confidence, public speaking skills, voice diction, eye contact, and stage presence. Brooke was learning so much through Talent Sprouts® that without ever realizing it, TLE® laid the base for Brooke’s newfound creativity and passion which has led her from preschool to an off-Broadway opportunity.

Recently, Brooke auditioned for the Westchester Broadway Theatre, New York’s longest running year-round equity dinner theater, production of The Wizard of Oz, where she was casted as one of the youngest munchkins.

Brooke is a prime example of how TLE® teaches a love of learning through their enrichment programs, tapping into every child’s inner star.

The Wizard of Oz is running 7/31/14 – 9/21/14 at the Westchester Broadway Theatre, 1 Broadway Plaza, Elmsford, NY 10523.
