Introducing Leading Female BECCA!

February 12th, 2010

“Becca” began with NSAA Stagekids when she was just a small child.  The first show that she was in was the “WIZARD OF OZ”.   After almost a decade and many, many more shows at NSAA, Becca ended her last Stagekids role as “Dorothy” in the WIZARD OF OZ. 

Becca is returning for NSAA’s 10 year anniversary production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as one of the lead narrators.  This is despite the fact that she is also the lead role at Mequon Homestead High School’s production of “Annie Get Your Gun”.  As if that weren’t enough, she has some other major “out of state” auditions coming up.  “I’m never home,” Becca told us last night.  She works hard and her dreams are big.

Becca is is a shining star of NSAA.  She is a great student, role model, hard-working, ambitious and talented young girl who has an amazing future in front of her.  Keep your eyes on this gal.  She is going places!  And NSAA is glad to have had a part in developing the talents that she exudes today.

Please go see Homestead High School’s “Annie Get Your Gun” Feb. 25-28 then a month later our 10 year Anniversary “Joseph” Production at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center March 25-28. 

As always, thank you for supporting the arts.  Arts programs build strong leaders such as this fine young lady.

Take my Survey: We Want to Hear Your Voice

Where Did NSAA begin 10 years ago?

January 16th, 2010

Note from the Founder

In the midst of North Shore Academy of the Art, Inc.’s grand 10 year celebration, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on where it all began: sitting in a dark theatre, watching a musical.  It was my husband’s and my first outing after our daughter was born, so I was a bit nervous to be gone for any length of time. Nonetheless, we sat back to enjoy as the curtains were opened.

The musical was “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The producers of the musical set out to entertain their audience, and maybe to do a bit more….The talents on stage made the audience laugh. They made the audience cry. Some left smiling. Some left humming the tunes. At least one left inspired — Inspired enough to share thoughts  with others.   Then others began to imagine… 

Together, and 10 years later… there is another team of producers, another cast of talented actors on stage, in a dark theatre… where the curtains will open…On the weekend of March  25th, right here in Cedarburg, NSAA will be producing “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in celebration for what that show helped create 10 years ago. We chose this show because it has a great message, wonderful music and it inspires. We chose this musical to  entertain… and to do maybe a bit more… 

Besides our shows, we have other offerings that do “a bit more”: our art classes, music lessons, dance teams, writing workshops… the list goes on. The opportunities abound at chances to imagine, to create, to discover… 

One never knows what will foster a dream, a thought or an action. I didn’t know that night when I sat down in the theatre that I would leave 90 minutes later with an urge that wouldn’t be still, that wouldn’t relent, until it was acted upon.

At NSAA, we hope that everyday, in some way, in some capacity, at least one person walks away imagining…And so what does that mean for the next 10 years of NSAA?  At least 3,650-dreams born into the world, relentless, urging inspiration…I hope you’ll join me “in the theatre” as the curtains open.  

Here’s to the next decade of inspiration. To your dreams, coming in loud and clear…Imagine. Discover. Create. Dream. That’s North Shore Academy ofthe Arts, Inc. I thank you, as always, for your continued support. 

Sheri M. Bestor, Founder, President North Shore Academy of the Arts, Inc.
