ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Where On Broadway Meets Its Community
Dream Fellowship is On Broadway's community engagement program — designed to extend the organization's mission beyond the rehearsal room and into the neighborhoods we serve. Through two distinct offerings, Dream Fellowship creates meaningful touchpoints between On Broadway, its supporters, and the broader Harlem and Upper West Side community.
Great communities are built in rooms where people actually connect – and in open spaces where everyone is welcome.
Whether through an intimate gathering with Broadway artists or a free outdoor concert series that brings the neighborhood together, Dream Fellowship is On Broadway's commitment to the community that makes this work possible.
OFFERING ONE
On Broadway: Up Close
On Broadway: Up Close is a curated series of intimate, adult-focused experiences designed for families and supporters who want to go deeper — to understand the culture, values, and artistic excellence that define this organization through shared space, dialogue, and live performance.
This is not a gala. There's no stage between you and the artists. Up Close is designed for real conversation – with Broadway professionals, with leadership, and with one another.
Each event is intentionally small. The setting is relaxed. Invitations go to our community first. Up Close is how On Broadway builds the relationships that sustain this work over the long term.
Broadway Artists
in the Room
Working Broadway performers, directors, and creators share their journeys and insights in an informal, conversational setting – accessible in a way a public performance never could be.
Live Performance
Every Up Close event weaves in moments of live artistry – an impromptu number, an intimate showcase, a performance that reminds you exactly why this work matters.
Genuine Connection
Up Close is built on the belief that community happens through real conversation. Every gathering creates space for supporters and artists to meet each other as people, not just as patrons and performers.

OFFERING TWO
Summer Nights at Cathedral Parkway
Summer Nights at Cathedral Parkway is On Broadway's free community concert series — four Monday evening outdoor performances presented at Cathedral Parkway Towers on the Upper West Side throughout the summer. Hosted in a welcoming outdoor setting, these evenings bring together Broadway artists, On Broadway leadership, and select students from the Summer Program for live performance, intergenerational mentorship, and genuine community celebration.
Summer Nights celebrates shared stages, intergenerational learning, and real-world professional experience – open and accessible to every member of our community
At each concert, students from our Summer Program are invited to perform alongside Broadway professionals – offering a meaningful glimpse into the mentorship, training, and artistic excellence at the heart of On Broadway's work. Admission is free with a suggested donation, ensuring the series remains fully accessible to the neighborhoods we serve.
