“A Home of Our Own”
The new home of Rosie’s Broadway Kids, Maravel Arts Center, named for Rosie O’Donnell’s teacher who was an inspirational force in her formative years, is an oasis for students in the heart of Broadway and the Theater district. The spacious facility includes two dance studios, a music studio, a study café, practice rooms, a library, dressing rooms, administrative offices, and many other amenities.
The building serves as the home base for ACTE II students, who will use it throughout the school year for classes and during the yearly Summer Intensive.
The new space will also give hundreds of students at a nearby elementary school lacking proper facilities the opportunity to finally stretch their legs and minds in a new physical education project, Spotlight on Fitness, being developed in conjunction with Board of Education guidelines for both fitness and the arts.
