Fall Semester 2026
Welcome to Broadway Bound Kids! BBK is a nonprofit providing a transformative and inclusive environment that inspires youth through performing arts education. We provide comprehensive, interactive performing arts programs for Pre-K through 12th Grade; our programming focuses on enhancing technical skills, social emotional learning, confidence, connection, mindfulness, and creativity. Inclusion and access are central to our ethos and organizational culture as we work to break down societal and financial barriers for youth, their families, and their communities. We cultivate communities of open hearts and minds amongst a diverse cross-section of youth in New York City and beyond by enabling every student to explore all they can be, on stage and off.
We’ve worked as an after-school arts partner of PS 158 in years past, and we are so excited to be back in 2026! We look forward to a joyful, creative, stimulating, fun-filled year of performing arts education with this school community.

PS 158’s Got Talent:
In this alternative to the more musical theater focused Drama Club, PS 158’s Got Talent provides an opportunity for every student’s unique talent to be celebrated. Let’s face it – we’ve all watched a TV talent competition and imagined ourselves on the stage. American Idol, The X Factor, The Voice, and countless other programs have been mainstays of our lives! In 158’s Got Talent, performers will create a musical inspired by the triumphs of television competitions. The class will create a fully realized talent show, including group numbers and time for each individual student to shine. Whether you want to dance to your favorite KPop song, tell your best joke, or sing your face off- it’s time to grab the mic and show off! At the end of the semester, there will be an invited open class where we share our Talent Show.
