BROADWAY REJECTS CABARET - Actor's Youth Theatre - February 8 - 10, 2018
Broadway Rejects Cabaret: The Songs That Got Away
Directed by Kristen Malarkey
Ages 8-19
Is everyone having a hard time getting on your level? Does your creativity deserve its own zip code? Do you often sit in your room and wonder why your phone is not ringing off the hook with people begging to invest in your one person show? US TOO!!!! AYT presents an opportunity to let your one-of-a-kind creativity shine in the Broadway Rejects: The Songs that got Away Cabaret!! The cabaret will consist of the three segments below.
Fabulous Flops:
Songs from shows that flopped on Broadway. Sure the show may have flopped, but that doesn’t mean the songs were bad! Those songs have been left out in the cold too long we say. (We will never be over you Carrie: the Musical, Tuck Everlasting, Bonnie & Clyde, Chess, etc.!!)
Leftovers:
Songs from Broadway musicals that were cut from the movie version. That’s right. We want to give the songs that were abandoned on the cutting room floor a chance to be heard and adored! (“Home”, “We’re OK”, “Together”, “Henry Street”, “A Bushel and a Peck”, “The Music and the Mirror”, “The Love of my Life”….. we’re only a little bitter).
Vocal Villains:
Are they really villains? Or just misunderstood? Songs from our favorite Broadway villains. And maybe a few of our favorite villains singing the Broadway songs they have always wanted to sing! (Has Ursula always wanted to sing “Memories” from Cats? We’ll never know unless we give her a chance.)

A CHORUS LINE: HIGH SCHOOL EDITION - Actor's Youth Theatre - July 20-July 28, 2018
Music by Marvin Hamlisch, Lyrics by Edward Kleban
Book by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante
Adaptation and support materials for the High School Edition Developed by iTheatrics
Under the supervision of Timothy Allen McDonald
A CHORUS LINE is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre: the chorus dancers– those valiant, over dedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself. A CHORUS LINE is also about competition, and competition might easily be the common denominator that grabs the audience and holds it by the collective heartstring until the final, ultimate choices are made. For everyone, at one time or another, puts his life on the line. We all compete, no matter what business we’re in, for promotion, for attention, for approval and for love. Specifically, A CHORUS LINE takes the audience through the final grueling audition run by the director, Zach, for a new Broadway musical.
