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

The North Shore Academy of the Arts (NSAA) is proud to announce its 2012 adult and youth production, “The Music Man”. Previous musicals performed by NSAA at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center (CPAC) include Hairspray and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
NOW REGISTERING for CAST MEMBERS
Interested cast members can register online through the NSAA website.
ABOUT “The Music Man”
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson’s THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.

I’m so proud of the cast and crew of Beauty and the Beast, both the CPAC team and the Schauer Center Team! When I see everyone working together I’m reminded again about the impact of our mission– to reach even beyond the arts.
We are nearing our grand opening of the Arts Mill. I look forward to our community enjoying this new division of NSAA. We still have opportunities to volunteer and donate. There are two naming rights still available. (Send me an email if you are interested in learning more about this sherib@northshoreacademyofthearts.org).
Our Kids4Kids project will be launched soon. Kids4Kids is a program where Homestead High School Students work together with the mission of helping foster kids. We will be joining them in an exciting venture that will culminate in a presentation for the community. Stay tuned for more information.
Camp Rock and Hairspray are beginning within the next two weeks. I’m looking forward to being more involved in these shows as our focus at NSAA continues to be on programming through enriching opportunities.
Visual Arts, Imagine Me, Dance Classes, Zumba, upcoming UBM and Yoga, CCC and Paul McGill. (He’s coming this Monday–you won’t want to miss it)….we strive to offer you a wide array of opportunities in the arts so that there is something for everyone!
As winter continues to blow its beauty, I hope you are able to find the moments to appreciate your unique creativity and how it helps you to see the world in vivid light.
“When we are writing, or painting, or composing, we are, during the time of creativity, freed from normal restrictions, and are opened to a wider world, where colors are brighter, sounds clearer, and people more wondrously complex than we normally realize.”– Madeleine L’Engle

About “Schoolhouse Rock Live!”
“The Emmy Award-winning 1970s Saturday morning cartoon series that taught history, grammar, math, science and politics through clever, tuneful songs is not only making a small-screen comeback, instructing a whole new generation to “Unpack Your Adjectives” and “Do The Circulations,” it’s lighting up stages everywhere, from school multi-purpose rooms to university and regional theatres all around the country. Tom, a nerve-wracked school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music, through such beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs as “Just A Bill,” “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly” and “Conjunction Junction.” — taken from http://www.schoolhouserocklive.net/
SHOW TIMES: 5pm “Green Cast” and 7pm “Purple Cast” (each show lasts about 45 minutes)
SHOW DATE: Monday December 13
SHOW VENUE: North Shore Academy of the Arts, 1111 Broad Street, Grafton WI
SHOW COST: Donations accepted at the door for admission
About Jr. Stagekids:
NSAA’s all-inclusive Jr. Stagekids Program is designed for children ages 6 to 11 who are looking for musical theatre experience in a fun, safe and encouraging setting. It is for those children who love to act, sing and dance. Cast members make friends and build self-confidence while learning to deliver lines, act in character, sing and perform choreographed moves. Many of our Jr. Stagekids go on to be in our all-inclusive Stagekids Productions. From there, some have been hired for TV shows, hired by the Fireside Dinner Theatre as professional actors, pursued successful careers in communications such as the British Broadcasting Corporation and have even ended up on Broadway! NSAA believes in encouraging, challenging and embracing every child regardless of what level they are at.

It’s an exciting time for NSAA as we progress forward with The Arts Mill. The momentum is building as more people come forth wanting to be involved.
Our productions of Beauty and the Beast are well underway. The young performers have been enjoying the time during rehearsal when they are able to work with the various crew on blocking, choreography, vocals and skill building through the drama games. We are happy to see the growth and enthusiasm with this new structure of rehearsals.
Spaces are going quickly for Broadway and Movie performer, Paul McGill’s workshop in February. Camp Rock and Hairspray production opportunities are being met with lots of excitement around the community. Don’t miss out on any of these opportunities to register.
Finally, as we continue to expand and refine our programming, internally we continue to learn and grow with the organization as a whole. We’ll be making two exciting announcements soon about the Board of Directors. I’m excited to share this with you within the next two weeks.
Thanks for the positive feedback you’ve been sharing with us.
And, as always, thanks for your support.
Sheri
