Kimmel Center Education Department’s Show Stoppers Gears Up For its Inaugural Winter Revue

November 18, 2013

Kimmel Center Education Department’s new Show Stoppers after-school musical theater program is gearing up for its inaugural winter revue in Perelman Theater on December 13 at 7 p.m.  The public is invited to experience this free community concert that celebrates the musical theater, dance and vocal talents of over 40 regional students, grades 9 to 12, who after a series of weekly after school instruction sessions with renowned teaching artists, will showcase their skills in a culminating performance. The evening program is an original work by teaching artist Jennifer Blaine in collaboration with the staff that showcases the many talents of the students as they express their concerns and solutions to the existing problems of budget crisis and the arts. The concert concludes Show Stoppers Fall session.

The weekly after-school program began October 1, helmed under the leadership of Kimmel Center Education Manager Carole Frazier, who has brought together a critically acclaimed group of teaching artists with acting, dancing and Broadway credits to their names, to instruct the inaugural Show Stoppers program. Show Stoppers encourages young musical theater artists to explore their talents in acting, singing, and dance, engaging them in a weekly instructional group setting with other enthusiastic young singers, dancers, and actors from area high schools.

    Anytime I see young people doing their thing it always motivates me to be better myself and give back! The arts are sorely lacking in a lot of curriculums this is awesome!
