They are among the 26 high school students represent- ing 21 public, private or home schools in Broward, Miami- Dade and PalmBeach counties as Broward Center Teen Am- bassadors during the 2019- 2020 season. Now in its 10th year, the Teen Ambassadors program is fostering the next generation of performing arts fans. Teen Am- bassadors bring a unique per- spective to what they cover at the Broward Center, as they de- tail, through written and video reviews, their behind-the- scenes experiences and exclu- sive educational opportunities, including introductions to per- formances in every artistic dis- cipline.
