All the Way Star Bryan Cranston Will Join Fifty Class Presidents From NYC Public High Schools for an Upcoming Matinee

Fifty student class presidents from New York City public high schools have been invited to the April 30 performance of Robert Schenkkan's All the Way at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre. As guests of the show's producers, the students will take part in a talkback with star Bryan Cranston and the cast, where they will discuss leadership, presidential power, and the ways in which politics of the 1960s resonate today.

The drama will welcome students from schools including Flushing High School, James Madison High School, Union Square Academy, Claremont International High School, Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Fort Hamilton High School, and others.
