Student Reporter Press Pass Program
Student Reporter Press Pass Program!
Introducing the Student Reporter Press Pass program! Shadow the CAPA digital marketing team to better understand how we create videos and posts for social media. In this program, we will select up to 2 students per show to be our resident reporters at select 26-27 Broadway in Columbus shows. The students chosen will get the chance to film videos, interview patrons, and experience a Broadway performance. There is no cost to participate in this program.
No prior experience required! This program is designed to be an introduction to student reporting, content creation, and social media management. This is also the perfect learning opportunity before applying for the student reporter search with the National High School Musical Theatre Awards to cover the Jimmy Awards.
NOTE: Participation is not a pre-requisite to apply for National Student Reporter.
Participating Shows for this season:
- Operation Mincemeat– Tuesday, January 5, 2027
- Disney’s Beauty and the Beast– Tuesday, February 2, 2027
- The Great Gatsby– Tuesday, February 23, 2027
- Broadway in Columbus 27/28 season announcement– TBA
REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY:
- You must be a student of one of the participating 2026-2027 Marquee schools
- Be willing to come with a list of questions and/or games to play with patrons before the show
- Be comfortable being on camera (at least a little!)
- Bring your own cell phone to record footage
Students will be contacted within a month of the performance if they are selected.
Each student selected will be eligible to participate for one show per Broadway season. While participation in the program may help you sharpen your skills as a student reporter, it will not give you any other advantage if you decide to submit for National Student Reporter. Participating in the program does not guarantee the footage or photos taken before or after the performance will be posted on any of CAPA’s social media channels.
