Becca Hare began with NSAA when she was kindergarten age.  Her role was a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz.  Many years later and many MANY shows later she was the lead in Seussical, Aladdin, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Wizard of Oz and more! 

Becca will soon be going off to college in New York to major in music and minor in theatre.  We think this is a fabulous fit for a FABULOUS girl!

One of the things that NSAA appreciates about Becca is that she works so well with people.  You will find her smiling most of the time.  You will find her helping somebody A LOT of the time.  Becca is a great role model for many of our young students.  She has been willing to mentor them as a volunteer as well as help around the NSAA facility over the years.  Becca is a giver.  And we are confident that whatever she learns in New York she will give an abundance back to society.

Becca Hare will be giving a voice recital on Saturday August 14 from 1 to 5 at Newcastle Place in Mequon.  We suggest that you go see her now before she gets too famous…….:)

Perhaps you may not know that North Shore Academy of the Arts (NSAA) expands far beyond the reach of our Grafton facility.  Our instructors have been traveling to other cities for quite some time to bring PREMIER ARTS ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING in the visual, performing and literary arts. 

NSAA has brought fine visual and performing arts programming to Bayshore Town Center in Bayshore.  Our Stagekids directors have been traveling to the Hartford Schauer Center for several seasons putting on high quality productions.  Our instructors have taught music and drama in Pre-K facilities in Mequon and Germantown.   Our performers have performed in Cedarburg, Mequon and Bayshore for various key events.  We have gone into public  schools to present assemblies and have fulfilled the need for arts enrichment in a private Milwaukee high school.   We have worked with Nicolet and Homestead high schools. 

With the 10 year anniversary of NSAA, we expect to continue expanding to fulfill the need for high quality arts programming in Wisconsin.  We are excited to launch our 2010-11 season.  If you would like for us to join you at your facility, in your community, on site at your location please email info@northshoreacademyofthearts.org  attn: Sheri or Paula to discuss your specific arts needs.  For more on CATERING THE ARTS grab a brochure!
