Every past and present Broadway Global Producer of the Year is proof that we must honor investors in live stage works who inspire and teach respect of cultures, embrace diversity and educate on issues in our global society. Broadway Global expects that winners will be looked upon as global leaders “on and off the stage.” All Broadway Global Producers of the Year winners must be accessible on social media, leave
a legacy for live stage works for the Broadway brand that inspires respect, embraces diversity & brings nations together and give back to not-for-profits that make our global society a better world for all, sharing their time and efforts in charity work.
Each winner is presented with the “Producer’s Puzzle,” an original work of art created by artist, Steve Marshall, who is also an internationally acclaimed American magician living in Japan. Marshall donates the commissions of his works to The Smile Train, an international children’s charity that provides 100% free cleft palate repair surgery and comprehensive cleft palate care to children in over 85 developing nations.
Founded in 2009, by Richard Cameron and director/choreographer Ron Hutchins, Broadway Global reminds us that all the arts—dance, music and theatre—are the international language that brings nations together on a global level, honoring our world arts society, keeping artists employed and patrons informed.
