From the Room Where It Happens
Before the Hamilton tour left the room where it happened, the Morrison Center Education Department helped choreograph a dance workshop for Patty Duke Awards students with Zach Bravo, a two-year swing with the Hamilton Philip Company, on Friday, January 24, at the SPEC.
The Morrison Center Education Department regularly connects students participating in the Patty Duke Awards with current Broadway tours and other top Broadway professionals through vocal and dance workshops. These experiences give students valuable opportunities to develop their skills and learn more about the theater industry.
They also create a space where the next generation of rising stars can connect with others who share their passion for theater.
My favorite part of the workshop, other than just the opportunity to work with such a fabulous dancer, was seeing how talented all my peers are. It’s so uplifting and so nice to see!

Students come from all over Idaho, including communities with limited access to arts education and resources. For many, the Patty Duke Awards and these workshops offer a vital connection to musical theater, bringing an industry that can feel far away closer to home.
