Experience
The Shubert's Broadway-tryout history (My Fair Lady, Oklahoma!, and others opened here before New York) gives kids a real sense of theater pedigree. The City of New Haven sponsorship keeps programming accessible across income levels in ways a commercial venue's education arm usually can't.
