FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Jerusalem, Israel) Mequon native Talia Lakritz, former NSAA Gleek Club member and singer/songwriter student of NSAA instructor Angela Mack is making a musical mark in Israel.  After she graduated from high school, she decided to go oversees for a year and spend some time in Jerusalem.  She has been involved with writing more music, winning awards and benefiting underprivileged women in Israel.  We are very proud of her! Her singing group recently won FIRST PLACE in the KEDMA competition!

She writes Ms. Mack, “I’ve been involved in so many musical projects lately!  I’ve written more songs since I’ve been here, and I won studio time in an auction that we had so I’ll be able to record some of them! And girl in my apartment plays guitar and writes her own songs, so we’ve been working on one together.

I also co-headed my school’s choir for an inter-seminary competition. The event was last night, and guess what? We won!! I wrote part of the song and helped compile the rest of it (we used a few existing tunes) and teach it so it was very validating. I attached a picture of us with our award. The performance was set in the times of the Holy Temple, with priests dancing the Temple service. I hope we can meet again when I come back in June! -Talia”

Classes begin January 16!

Fifty five southeastern Wisconsin children, ages 6 to 11, will be presenting the musical ANNIE Kids on December 5 at 5pm and 7pm.  The musical will be about 45 minutes long and held at the North Shore Academy of the Arts (NSAA), 1111 Broad Street Grafton, WI.  Admission is free and open to the public however donations will be collected at the door.

The musical consists of two casts.  The “Green Cast” will perform at 5pm and contains thirty three cast members.  The “Purple Cast” will perform at 7pm and contains twenty two cast members.

The NSAA Jr. Stagekids Program is directed by Angela Mack who is also the Marketing Director for NSAA.  “The Jr. Stagekids program is part of a spiraling and growing musical curriculum at NSAA.  Typically children enter through our Pre-K “Imagine Me” program, move onto “Stage-Kinder-Kids”, then Jr. Stagekids, Stagekids and all the way up to the adult level,” said Mack who has also played “Motormouth Maybelle” in Hairspray and “Narrator” in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center (CPAC).

Pictured above is the “Green Cast” Annie played by 4th grader Claire Holtebeck.  “Claire has been singing, dancing and acting since she could move and speak,” commented her mom Lisa.  “In her free time, she makes up commercials and videotapes herself for YouTube.  Claire also loves playing soccer and hanging with friends and family.  She is VERY excited to be a part of ‘Annie’–a lifelong dream!”

The “Purple Cast” Annie is played by an eight year old Greta Dane from Cedarburg (pictured above).  Greta was also recently cast as the lead in a traveling theater group based out of Milwaukee, WI.  “Greta is a pretty amazing kid…I have raised her to believe that she can do anything she wants if she puts her mind to it and I have yet to see her prove me wrong.  She loves to sing and spends time composing her own songs.  She also plays and loves piano and got an electric guitar for her 8th birthday last month which she is slowly teaching herself how to play. Her role as Annie is her first shot at acting”, said her mom Sharon.

NSAA is now registering for their 2012 productions which include Stagekids Seussical (target ages 2nd through 8th grade), Aladdin Kids, Willy Wonka Kids and a brand new 30-minute comedy for the middle schooled called “School Daze”.    Online registration and discounts are now being offered on the NSAA website. www.northshoreacademyofthearts.org
