The Jeanine Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance invites the community to an unforgettable evening celebrating the next generation of theatre artists at Broadway Bound: Senior Send Off, on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, at the Southeast Missouri State University River Campus, Cultural Arts Center.
The event begins with a 5:45 p.m. (doors open) with a social hour beginning immediately. Preshow programming begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by a 7:30 p.m. final dress rehearsal performance of the New York City BFA Showcase in the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall.
This inspiring event honors BFA Musical Theatre and BFA in Acting graduating seniors as they prepare to take their talents to New York City and BFA Design and Technology seniors preparing to launch their careers in the entertainment industry.
Guests will enjoy an evening of light entertainment, hors d’oeuvres, and drinks while connecting with our talented graduating seniors as they prepare to take the next step in their professional careers. The evening will feature a small raffle and live auction, with all proceeds directly supporting students as they transition from conservatory training to professional careers.
Funds raised will provide select seniors the opportunity to travel to New York City for a series of master classes and to present their Senior Showcase for agents and casting directors-an essential launching point as they begin their careers in theatre and dance.
