SO YA WANNA BE A BROADWAY STAR? (c)
A Mentoring and Audition Event by New Paradigm Theatre
Sponsored by Northeast Electronics
Sunday October 19th from 1:00-5pm
LOCATION: 285 Lyons Plain Rd. Westonn CT
Singers and actors ages 8 years through adult will audition and receive professional feedback from Broadway and Film performers, directors, agents, and producers in New Paradigm Theatre’s (NPT) signature event.
Kristin Huffman, Artistic Director of NPT, Broadway veteran, and professor at the University of Hartford’s Hartt School, will also lead a pre-event workshop on “Audition Prep” at noon and after the event, a panel discussion for participants and audience members. Audience members and participants may ask insider questions about the industry. “Mentoring is a large component of NPT’s mission statement,” says Huffman.
The Broadway Star event is also the “audition” for NPT’s annual Holiday show, Dec 20th, in Stratford this year! Every participant in this event in October will be offered the opportunity to be in the Holiday show as well as NPT’s co-production of Guys and Dolls with the Norwalk Symphony in February.
Networking is crucial in the Entertainment industry and the performers who participate will meet and receive feedback from Broadway professionals such as: Mark Aldrich (Broadway performer and author) Paul Bogaev (Grammy and Emmy winner, Music Producer); Gwendolyn Jones (Broadway and National tours); Tiffany T’Zelle (Gospel and Pop professional) Jamibeth Margolis, NY casting director, and Kyle Gonyea (National tours and Professor at AMDA).
Complete names of panelists will be released in September.
The audience and all participants will also vote on the “John Boys Fan Favorite” award. That performer will win $100.
