Wilson on Broadway
Join President Wes Fugate and Cody Ward to experience Broadway in a way that you only can through Wilson College. Wilson is partnering with Tony and Grammy award winning Broadway producers Sue Gilad and Larry Rogowsky to create a behind the scenes experience on Broadway. Held the day before the all important Tony Awards, the energy of New York and the Broadway community will be alive when Wilson comes to town. It will be an exciting weekend in NYC as the shows campaign for final votes from Tony voters and build momentum up to the telecast of the awards. The day will include a morning of behind the scenes experiences with Broadway insiders, premium seating to two shows, and meals. This experience is limited to only a few participants and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
