The Jeanine Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance invites the community to an unforgettable evening celebrating the next generation of theatre artists at Broadway Bound: Senior Send Off, on Saturday, April 18, at the Cultural Arts Center on the River Campus.
The event begins when doors open at 5:45 p.m., with a social hour beginning immediately. Preshow programming begins at 6:30, followed by a 7:30 final dress rehearsal performance of the New York City BFA Showcase in the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall.
This inspiring event honors BFA Musical Theatre and BFA in Acting graduating seniors as they prepare to take their talents to New York City, as well as BFA Design and Technology seniors preparing to launch their careers in the entertainment industry.
Guests will enjoy an evening of light entertainment, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks while connecting with our talented graduating seniors. The evening will feature a small raffle and live auction, with all proceeds directly supporting students as they transition from conservatory training to professional careers.
Funds raised will provide select seniors the opportunity to travel to New York City for a series of master classes and to present their Senior Showcase for agents and casting directors- an essential launching point as they begin their careers in theatre and dance.
Tickets are $50 per person, or tables of eight available for purchase at $375. Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased online at semo.edu/broadwaybound.
Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by April 14, 2026. To RSVP or inquire about additional information, please contact Sara Steffens at ssteffens@semo.edu or (573) 651-2149.
