After more than 15 years of working together for city Parks and Recreation Departments and a combined 35 years of experience in the field, Michael and Christian have found strength in their working relationship that serves as a recipe for the ultimate success within an artistic and recreational setting. With their leadership, they have directed, designed, and implemented strategies to create an atmosphere that children are excited to return to year after year. Realizing their ability to create an effective and memorable experience, they decided that it was time to team up and deliver their own Musical Theatre Arts enrichment program with recreational opportunities to various neighboring communities. Hence, the debut of "Off Broadway Kids."
