| Description: | Today's Topic: The History of Broadway
As New York City grew in size and cultural prominence during the late 19th century, Broadway in Midtown Manhattan emerged as the heart of American theater. What began with Shakespearean productions and vaudeville performances evolved into the original integrated musicals of the 20th century, staged in increasingly large theaters around Times Square. Over time, Broadway became a global theatrical powerhouse. Join Active Minds as we explore the rich and colorful story of Broadway.
About Active Minds:
Active Minds started in 2002 as a series of poetry classes in a church basement in Denver. Before long, it grew to include other courses focusing on contemporary global issues, historical themes, and other matters of importance. The original audience was primarily senior citizens, but over time Active Minds has grown to serve adults of all ages through programming at book stores, libraries, and corporations. Today Active Minds provides programming to over 200 organizations and has over 30 highly qualified instructors on staff. John Henderson and Zane Robertson formed Active Minds out of a deeply felt belief that lifelong learning is central to a life well lived. We are inspired by members of our own families who embodied this spirit and dedicate this work to them. |
