About BKA

In January 2013, two friends and colleagues came together to create a nurturing and positive space for young performing artists to learn and grow in their craft, while still maintaining the realistic atmosphere of the New York City audition scene. The result was BROADWAY KIDS AUDITIONS, a national and international coaching company that has become a family for young performers to connect to top New York City training. While Julianne has gone off to pursue her dream of getting an MBA, Kurt has taken over the company and continues to move BKA forward with its mission! We are proud that BKA has helped thousands of children grow as artists for the past 11 years.

Broadway Kids Auditions teaches kids to embrace their uniqueness, to inspire others with their passion and commitment, and to leave a meaningful impact on the world by sharing their gifts.

Our philosophy is that helping to develop extraordinary kids will change the world in extraordinary ways—that belief goes WAY beyond the audition room!

BKA offers private coaching in person in New York City and anywhere via Zoom. Private coaching students receive audition material chosen specifically to showcase their talents and personalities. Coaches choose material from all genres of theatre, helping students become versatile and well-rounded performers. Students learn full songs and monologues, as well as audition cuts of each piece. Coaches help students focus their material in order to have successful auditions. The process is fun and exciting and students walk away with the confidence that they have solid audition material.
