Broadway in the Bricks is a pop-up performing arts series established during the global pandemic of 2021 by Newark-based actor, artist, and producer, Daryl Stewart.
#BroadwayintheBricks seeks to reimagine traditional theater experiences and promote accessibility to the performing arts, particularly within inner-city communities by presenting the best and brightest Broadway talent right at home.
The series emerged in response to the transformative shifts occurring within the entertainment industry, aiming to bring the essence of Broadway directly to the urban landscape of Newark, also known as the Brick City.
Since its inception, #BroadwayInTheBricks has significantly contributed to bridging the gap between Broadway and local communities, enriching cultural experiences and fostering a greater appreciation for the performing arts among diverse audiences while introducing and delighting hundreds of audiences to the magic of musical theatre.
