Broadway Nights

Inspired by the renowned “Broadway Bridges” program in New York City, Des Moines Performing Arts (DMPA) is dedicated to providing a similar opportunity for the students at Des Moines Public Schools called “Access Broadway.”  With the generous contributions from benefactors, DMPA has partnered with DMPS to offer the memorable experience of attending a Broadway show to every student before they graduate from high school.

To make this dream a reality, we must have a minimum group of 20 students for each show. 

Students will need to purchase their tickets at least 7 weeks before the scheduled performance date.
