National Broadway Theatre

While working in the generous and welcoming Grand Rapids theater community, Jacob began to notice that something was missing. The city of Grand Rapids is vibrant with a professional ballet, opera, and symphony, but as far as paying professional theatre, that creative outlet was left sparce. The area is fortunate to have tremendous community theater productions, but these actors were missing one thing—a paycheck for their work. It was in that moment that Jacob set out to create a non-profit, professional theater company, and The National Broadway Theatre was born. As a professional, non-profit theater company in Grand Rapids, our mission is to enrich lives through the magic of theater, community engagement, and cultural enrichment.
