Hey There! I’m Bret Shuford, the creator of Business of Broadway.
Â
I know how disappointing it can be to hustle hard and feel like you are getting no where. I spent years trying everything before I booked my first Broadway show. Several Broadway shows, feature films, television, and commercials later, I’ve learned what it takes to be a versatile actor in this business.
As the Broadway Life Coach I’ve helped TONY Nominees, Series Regulars, Producers, Casting Directors, and more find fulfillment and confidence in a turbulent business.
If you're an actor who wants a successful career but you still feel like there’s something they know that you don’t, than you’ll want to sign up for this class today.

There’s been nothing like this program, made for artists like you and me. These 5 weeks of training will give you the inside scoop on how this business of Broadway really works - all the stuff you wished they'd taught you in graduate school from someone whose been in your shoes (that's me!). ;-)
Â
I had to go through a lot of trial and error before I booked my first 5 Broadway shows...Â
Â
If you're like I was, you're already:
- Taking all the casting director workshops...
- Working with the Broadway vocal coaches...
- Taking lots of acting classes...
- Working a side hustle to pay the bills...
- Taking dance class...
- Showing up for all the EPAs AND ECCs....
You’re exhausted, and not sure why it’s not producing results...
Â
I get it; I know how disappointing it can be to hustle hard and feel like you are getting no where.
Â
That's why I created this course, to help other actors learn from my experience and book it on Broadway.Â
