Adam Kantor recently won an Outer Critics Circle honor for his performance as Harry in Darling Grenadine at the Roundabout.  Prior to that, he won a Grammy and an Emmy Award for his performance in the Tony-winning Broadway production of The Band’s Visit, in which he played Telephone Guy.  Also on Broadway, he starred in Rent as Mark and Next To Normal as Henry, as well as in Fiddler On The Roof as Motel.  Off-Broadway he played Jaime in the Second Stage revival of The Last Five Years. He also played Princeton/Rod in Avenue Q at New World Stages.  On TV he was in Billions on Showtime in the role of Pununzio, and The Good Wife on CBS in the role of Ezra.  Along with Brian Bordainick (founder of Dinner Lab) and Benj Pasek (songwriter of LaLa Land and Dear Evan Hansen), Adam co-founded StoryCourse which creates interactive immersive dining experiences.  Adam produces their events, the latest of which was SaturdayNightSeder, a star-studded virtual Passover which raised over $3M for The CDC Foundation.  Adam is a graduate of Northwestern University.  


HOW THE STUDIO WILL BE STRUCTURED ONLINE

The studio will be held online via Zoom for two hours each day. Participants will be asked to join for the entire time in order to create a community-like experience of peer support, observation and performance.

Adam Kantor’s Broadway Studio will be held online via Zoom the week of Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26, from 2-4 PM each day.
