A Special Note From Ron...
Dear Friends,
Wow!...I’m thrilled by the overwhelming positive response to this past season and particularly to our spectacular “Grand National Finals!” My
warmest congratulations goes out to all of the Studio Directors, teachers and students for sharing their many talents, hard work and enthusiasm
throughout the year. Thank you to the families and friends who supported all of the marvelous performances we had the pleasure of
experiencing this past season. I would also like to extend a very special mention to our new “Cup” winners: “Shine Dance & Performing Arts” of
Henderson, NV are our new “Las Vegas Cup Champions™” and “Maple Avenue Dance” of Rockville Centre, NY has been crowned this season’s
“Broadway Cup Champions™.” A well deserved curtain call goes to these class act organizations.
Our 2012 season marks fourteen fantastic years of Access Broadway® and I feel it’s appropriate that this particular year we remember, honor
and celebrate it in our glorious patriotic colors of Red, White and Blue. We all remember how all of our lives were affected ten years ago and as
we continue to move forward, we renew and strengthen our commitment to “OUR” way of life...liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is
paticularly significant to us as it includes our mutual love for the performing arts and the freedom to enjoy, share and express it.
Since 1999, we are the very first company to present the “All-Inclusive, Broadway Experience™, Performing Arts Event” featuring dance, acting
and voice in a competition and workshop setting. No one dared to offer this event diversity and unique program details when we started over a
decade ago and that’s why our pioneer company remains in the forefront of the competititon and convention industry. This season, I’m going to
push the envelope even further. We are expanding our critically acclaimed “Broadway Star Awards™” that have received rave reviews
nationwide. We have new “Best Studio Titles™,” as well as numerous other outstanding achievements to recognize those deserving
performances with all the prestige and production value worthy of the Oscars® & Tony Awards®.
We’ve received so many positive reviews concerning our host facility for this past season’s “Broadway Cup Championship™” that we have
eagerly rebooked with the Hershey Lodge® for the next few seasons. In doing so, our Grand National Finals will now be called the “Cup Series
Championship™.” This will feature our two extraordinary awards, “The Las Vegas Cup™” presented to the “America’s Best Dance Studio™”
and “The Broadway Cup™” presented to the “Americas’s Best Performing Arts Studio™” in the country. You know the excitement that one of
these awards generates...imagine both of these awards presented at the same event...in a word...SPECTACULAR!
Enjoy and take your time as you review all of the great new additions we have in store for you this season. Please feel free to check back frequently
on Facebook and our website for special videos and commentary that we will be posted periodically. And don’t forget... we are always interested
to hear your stories, thoughts and comments on your experience at our events and how we can better serve you, so please keep in touch.
Until we meet again, enjoy all the things you love to do and remember “I’ll See You…On Broadway”!
With Warmest Regards,
Ron DeVito
President, Access Broadway Inc.

time increments accordingly.
8.) Competition…Correct placement and
calculation of age groups is according to the

Groups & Productions: add the ages of all

deduction, however will still be eligible for a
High Score Title in its new, proper category
minus (1) overall point deduction. If the new
High Score Title placement has already been
previously awarded, the act in question will
then be officially scratched from our High

act discrepancies be clarified prior to our
change deadline so as to not lose points at
our event. It may cost you a high score title
