Explore the History of Broadway with Active Minds

Take a virtual seat on Broadway with this free online program from Active Minds.

The session follows Broadway’s story as New York City grew in size and cultural prominence in the late 19th century. You’ll look at early Shakespearean productions and lively vaudeville performances, then move into the era when original integrated musicals took center stage in larger and larger theaters near Times Square.

You’ll also explore how Broadway’s influence expanded well beyond Midtown Manhattan, turning it into a global symbol of live theater. Active Minds shares 2ndSummit’s belief that learning is critical to our lives at every age, and this webinar is a relaxed way to feed that curiosity.
