Broadway On Main Theatre Company
Broadway On Main Theatre Company began as Cabaret on Main Theater’s community theater outreach program and has grown into an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Greater New Haven area.
Cabaret on Main Theater is the home of Broadway On Main, providing the stage and space for our productions, while Broadway On Main operates independently to produce community-driven musicals and plays. This partnership allows us to combine professional resources with a mission-driven approach, making theater education and performance accessible to all.
Our Mission
Broadway On Main empowers youth and adults through professional theater performance in a safe, supportive, bilingual environment. We use theater as a powerful tool for mental health awareness, telling stories that explore characters experiencing mental health challenges—fostering empathy, resilience, and dialogue among cast, crew, and audiences.
Through strong community partnerships and scholarship support, we ensure our programs remain accessible to all, creating lasting impact both on and off the stage. While we do not currently offer classes, expanding educational programming is part of our future vision.
