About the provider

Broadway On Tour Youth Theater was founded in 1989 by Daniel Halkyard and has been in continuous operation ever since. Its mission is to provide Orange County and the surrounding area with affordable live theatre for young actors and families to enjoy while giving aspiring performers a place to learn and explore the arts and receive theatre training. Artistic Director Laurie Holden leads the program, and John Blaylock received the National Youth Arts Outstanding Director award for BOT's 2019 production of Sweeney Todd.

The page states that all shows are properly licensed, there is a long term relationship with the performance venue, and artistic staff are hired as contractors with no permanent overhead. It also states open casting for all roles regardless of race, color, gender, or socio-economic status and a diversity policy supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth.
