Lorraine Goodman '83 New Executive Director of Broadway Bound Kids

I am thrilled to announce that I have taken over as Broadway Bound Kids' new Executive Director.

Here is some info from the press release:

Lorraine’s unique combination of experiences – which include working with such theatre notables as Audra McDonald, Donna Murphy, Patti Lupone, Norm Lewis, Billy Porter, and many others in Tony Award-winning shows The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Les Miserables, Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Terrence McNally’s “Master Class,”– along with a Master's in nonprofit administration, make her a perfect choice to lead Broadway Bound Kids -- also known as BBK-- into the next chapter of its history.

Board Chair and BBK Founder noted, “Not only does Lorraine have an impressive resume and track record, but she also shares our core values and a passion for our mission and our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging. We are honored to have Lorraine as part of our team and we’re excited to have her leading our organization and serving our community.”

“I am excited and honored to join Broadway Bound Kids as the new executive director,” said Lorraine. “It has always been my dream to work with others who love musical theater as much as I do -- I am thrilled that that opportunity has come my way.

Lorraine earned a Master's in nonprofit administration from NYU’s Steinhardt/Stern, with a focus on not-for-profit development and institutional messaging. Her subsequent professional fundraising experience ranges from helping The Red Hot Organization (which produces record albums and then donates the proceeds to AIDS-related charities) earn its first grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, to acting as Princeton AlumniCorps’ Development Officer. Most recently, she led the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, which provides access to health care, education, and legal representation for the Latinx community, through the early days of the pandemic.

About Broadway Bound Kids: Broadway Bound Kids (BBK) was established in 2004 as a way for young people from underserved populations to experience the joy of creating arts and learn about theatre, voice, and dance. Fifteen years later, we annually serve approximately 1,000 students city-wide. Our mission is to inspire youth through the performing arts, with a focus on enhancing social-emotional learning, confidence, connection, mindfulness, and creativity. We do so using a social justice mindfulness designed to break down societal and financial barriers for youth, their families, and their communities. This allows us to cultivate communities with open hearts and minds among a diverse cross-section of youth in New York City and beyond, giving all youth a place to belong and be heard and by enabling every student to explore all they can be, on stage and off.
