Elizabeth Back Explores Broadway in NYC on a Girl Scout Destination
Girl Scout Elizbeth Back from Anna got to expand her horizons in an incredible way through Girl Scouts this summer! Girl Scout Destinations are the ultimate adventure for Girl Scouts in grades 6-12. Destinations are designed to push girls past their comfort zones by applying for trips on their own and making friends from all over the country as they travel with new Girl Scout friends. Destinations prove to be unique, life-changing experiences for girls who choose to go on these adventures
Elizabeth’s Girl Scout Destination led her to the exciting state of New York for “Broadway Bound: NYC, Times Square, and Beyond!” During this Destination, girls were able to take a deep dive into the world of theater – from workshops to Broadway shows – all while exploring NYC. “’Broadway Bound’ helped me meet people who I never would have seen before, and we created such a strong bond,” Elizabeth says, reflecting on her experience.
Elizabeth’s group learned what it takes for actors and crew members to provide an audience with a successful, entertaining show. They attended a variety of workshops – like quick change, stage combat, singing, acting, and dancing. The girls were able to take in five Broadway shows during their trip, including Peter Pan Goes Wrong, & Juliet, Sweeney Todd, Wicked, and Six. A highlight of the trip was meeting the entire cast of Six after their show. Even with this theater-filled itinerary, Elizabeth and her new friends also visited Ellis Island, crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, and saw the grave of Alexander Hamilton.
Her experience had a great impact on Elizabeth. “This trip makes me want to work even harder to become a Broadway actress. It showed me some of what these actors and crew members do to make a show run smoothly,” said Elizabeth.
