Ed. Note: On Wednesday, October 20th at 11:00 a.m. EDT, First Lady Michelle Obama will discuss the importance of arts and humanities education by hosting the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards – the country’s highest honor in this field. Watch the event live on WhiteHouse.gov/live.
This summer, the President and First Lady continued their White House music series with "A Broadway Celebration" to honor the arts and demonstrate the importance of arts education. Before joining the ranks of Broadway’s brightest stars, dance students from local schools performed in a special dress rehearsal for the First Lady, their parents and teachers. Watch a behind-the-scenes video from the event and check out the premiere of the television special on Wednesday, October 20 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings).
