Lynchburg VA center for arts, culture, and community building
Broke Theatre Kids: Live On Stage is a high-energy musical theatre cabaret that dives headfirst into the drama, comedy, and chaos of money–or lack of it. Featuring a talented lineup of up-and-coming local artists, this show brings to life a curated collection of show tunes all about cash, ambition, debt, and dreams. Taking the stage are local starving actors Timothy McFadden, Madison Bakalov, Todd Picht, and Shelby Grace, backed by an incredible live band featuring Heather Brand, Guy Mavinga, and Patrick McCorkle.
From Broadway anthems to hidden gems, each number explores the financial struggles of life on (and sometimes off) the stage. Broke Theatre Kids proves you don’t need a big budget to deliver big talent–these actors may be broke, but they’re worth every penny.
