Thirteen/WNET New York announced the launch this week of Broadway: The American Musical (www.pbs.org/broadway). The site is the companion to the upcoming six-part series premiering October 19, 20, and 21st. on PBS.

The site offers a wealth of resources on the Broadway musical and its history.  Components include an interactive trivia game, informational essays written by series co-writer Laurence Maslon, synopses of important musicals, and a timeline – all of which will be augmented with dozens of still photos, original illustrations and graphics.  

The Web site will also showcase substantial profiles of key performers, directors, producers, choreographers, composers, and lyricists, complemented by video excerpts of interviews with some of the legends of Broadway featured in the series.  

In addition, the site will feature downloadable resources and lesson plans for teachers. These unique materials have been designed for use by secondary-school teachers in language arts, social studies, music, and the performing arts.  Featuring song lyrics, biographies, historical references, and writing and research activities, this packet will offer a lively new way to examine American history, culture and the arts via musicals like Carousel, Cabaret and The Producers.  

This packet can be downloaded as a .pdf file on the Broadway site. Three media-rich lesson plans are available for immediate use in middle and high school classrooms.    

Teachers may also request the materials, while supplies last, by emailing their names, addresses, school and class to guiderequest(--at--)thirteen.org.
