Young, Gifted & Broadway (YGB) is more than a performance community. It is a movement dedicated to nurturing, celebrating, and creating opportunities for the next generation of Broadway talent. Young performers face a unique journey. Behind every audition, rehearsal, callback, and performance is a young artist developing their confidence, discipline, creativity, and professional skills. YGB creates a supportive community where young Broadway performers and aspiring performers can connect, grow, and know that there is a network committed to seeing them succeed. Through performances, networking opportunities, industry coaching, mentorship, advocacy, and encouragement, Young, Gifted & Broadway helps young artists develop the tools and relationships they need to pursue successful careers in the entertainment industry. Our talented young performers bring the joy of music and the arts beyond the Broadway stage by performing throughout New York City and across the five boroughs. Every performance provides another opportunity for these young artists to develop their gifts, share their voices, inspire communities, and experience the power of the performing arts. Why Your Support Matters Supporting the Young, Gifted & Broadway campaign means investing directly in young artists and the future of the performing arts. Campaign support can help YGB expand programming, provide professional development and coaching, create additional performance opportunities, support community-based arts experiences, and give more young performers access to a nurturing professional network. Broadway’s future is being developed today. When we surround talented young people with opportunity, mentorship, advocacy, community, and encouragement, we do more than help them become better performers. We help them become confident young professionals prepared to carry the arts forward. Support Young, Gifted & Broadway. Invest in their talent. Encourage their dreams. Help us give Broadway’s next generation a place to shine.

Story

Why Julius Weems chose to support Young, Gifted & Broadway

I chose to support Young, Gifted & Broadway because I believe talented young people need more than an opportunity to perform. They need a community that believes in them, mentors who will guide them, advocates who will stand behind them, and people willing to invest in their future. As a father, entrepreneur, and leader, I have seen firsthand the incredible commitment required of young performers and their families. Behind every moment on stage are countless hours of training, auditions, rehearsals, sacrifices, and perseverance. These young artists are developing more than their talent. They are developing discipline, confidence, professionalism, and the courage to pursue something extraordinary. That is why the mission of Young, Gifted & Broadway matters to me. YGB is creating an environment where young performers and aspiring performers can build relationships, receive encouragement, gain industry knowledge, and find opportunities to share their gifts throughout New York City. I believe that when we recognize a gift in a young person, we have a responsibility to help create an environment where that gift can grow. I support this campaign because I am not simply investing in performances. I am investing in possibilities. I am supporting the next generation of artists, creators, leaders, and Broadway stars. These young people have already demonstrated that they are gifted. Now it is our responsibility to help make sure they have the opportunities, resources, community, and support to become everything they were created to be. That is why I proudly support Young, Gifted & Broadway.
