Youth Collective Recital!

Hello Everyone,

We are just wrapping up our Youth Collective at the Bushnell 2008-2009 Season. This week we have been at the Bushnell, performing our diligently practiced monologues and songs in the recital for our family and friends. The recitals have been a Big Hit! Our Broadway Guest Performer, Sherry Boone even came back to visit to share in the wonderful journey the students have taken. It has been a long couple of months, but we have seen so much growth in our students from beginning to end. The most exciting and moving part of the recital was seeing the pride on the parents faces when their son or daughter performed. That's a big reason why we put these programs on, to see the joy and passion theatre brings to our students. We've had a great company of students and wonderful memories with them and our amazing instructors and we can't wait to start all over again in the Fall.

If you are interested in learning more about the Youth Collective at the Bushnell, please click here.

We hope to see you all again in the Fall!

Best Wishes,

Performing Arts Programs Staff
