Introducing Leading Female BECCA!
Friday, 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.

Where Did NSAA begin 10 years ago?
Saturday, 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.

NSAA Jr. Stagekids will present Disney’s SLEEPING BEAUTY for the public on Monday August 31 at 5:00 and 5:45 pm. A $3 suggested donation will be taken at the door for admission at North Shore Academy of the Arts, 1111 Broad Street in Grafton. A cast of THIRTY SIX six to ten year olds from the southeastern Wisconsin region will perform. Each show lasts approximately 40 minutes and is produced and directed by Angela Mack.
Lead characters include ten year old Sydney Crivello who plays the lead “Aurora/Briar Rose” Sleeping Beauty. The evil sorceress, Maleficent, played by eight year old Dalin Kirn puts a curse on Sleeping Beauty that she will prick her finger and die on her sixteenth birthday. However, lead fairy “Merryweather” played by nine year old Elizabeth Schmid casts a spell that will simply make her fall asleep only to be awoken by her true love’s kiss. Six year old Xavier Robar, “Prince Philip” comes to the rescue and kisses her out of her sleep. However, this is the beginning of a big duel between Maleficent’s “Goons” and “Merryweather’s” fairies.
NSAA’s Jr. Stagekids Program introduces very young children to the world of live theater complete with costumes, set, makeup, choreography, characterization, memorization and blocking. The program has become so popular that it will be tripled this fall.
