FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From Angela Mack, NSAA Marketing Director angelam@northshoreacademyofthearts.org
Photo opportunity: Some kids can be set up in costume on January 4 between 5 and 7 pm at NSAA, 1111 Broad Street in Grafton. Please RSVP. It is also possible for us to provide professional photos upon request.
Contact: Stagekids Community Coordinator/Director Debbie Knuth at debbiek@northshoreacademyofthearts.org or NSAA Founder/Stagekids Producer Sheri Bestor at sherib@northshoreacademyofthearts.org
NSAA Phone: 262.377.3514
NSAA Stagekids Present Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. January 20-23
NSAA Stagekids will present Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. at the Cedarburg Performing Arts Center (CPAC) January 20-23. The 12:30pm matinee on 1/20 is already sold out leaving a 9:30am matinee on 1/20.
Other show times include 7pm on 1/21, 1pm and 7pm on 1/22 and 1pm on 1/23. Tickets cost just $3 per child and $7 per adult. The CPAC ticket box office number is 262.376.6161. (Someone is usually in the box office M-F between 3 and 6pm.)
This time around, the leads will have a huge challenge. Two casts (red and yellow) will be performing. Each cast has a set of “leads”. During the leads’ “off shows”, they will perform as chorus members. Thus, all of our leads will be learning and performing two roles during the course of the weekend. (This set-up is new to NSAA Stagekids.)
The casts are made up of 75 kids total from the Southeastern WI region ranging between the ages of 5 and 14. NSAA has also partnered up with the Schauer Arts and Activities Center in Hartford, WI to present the same show at their location January 14 and 15 with an entirely separate “Hartford” cast.
NSAA Stagekids has been around for ten years and has produced at least two major shows per year. Debbie Knuth has recently been promoted to the position of Stagekids Community Coordinator and Angela Mack has been promoted to the position of Stagekids Marketing Director.
NSAA has recently expanded by offering performing arts opportunities to adults. Our last 2010 Spring adult/youth production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” was a huge success. Our 2011 Spring adult/youth production will be “Hairspray”. Auditions will be February 2 at NSAA (must pre-register).
We will be taking registrations for our next Stagekids Production of “Camp Rock” at the Beauty and the Beast shows. Auditions will be held on January 31 at NSAA (must preregister). Details on how to register can be found on our website http://www.northshoreacademyofthearts.org

Welcome to Zumba!
Zumba is a Latin-inspired, easy to follow, calorie burning, dance fitness party! It is a spicy, upbeat mixture of Salsa, Merengue, Samba, belly dancing, hop-hop and many other beats.
A NOTE FROM ZUMBA INSTRUCTOR MERLYNN KIMMEL…….
Dancing has always played a very important role in my life. I have a graduate and undergraduate degree in dance from UW-Madison. I have taught, been trained/certified and competed professionally in many styles from Jazz, Ballet and Zumba to Latin/Ballroom Dance. I have taught and choreographed for ages 2-82 at many dance studios in the area as well as Concordia College in Mequon and U.W. Madison. I have been involved in NSAA’s Dance/Theater program since it’s inception. I am most passionate about Zumba because the classes feel like a party that EVERYONE can join in on. Each class is a total body work-out with toning exercises that are more fun than they are work. And, Zumba requires NO previous dance experience.
North Shore Academy of the Arts has positively affected the lives of thousands of people over the ten years that it has been in existence. With my background and the comfortable/creative environment provided at NSAA, I felt it was the perfect place for Zumba to grow. The classes have been running for three weeks and already the energy at the Zumba classes has been exhilarating. We are bringing people of ALL fitness levels, ages and backgrounds together for a movement celebration. Come, take a class, the first class is FREE, feel the music, and let loose. The classes are ongoing, you can join anytime.
For more information please notify me. Mkimmel@earthlink.net .
First class is free.
Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. 9:15-10:15.
$6.00/drop in. $50.00/10 class punch card.
Bring a guest. You AND the guest can take the class for FREE.
Testimonials:
“I look forward to coming to class.”
“The energy in the class is invigorating.”
“I’m feeling more comfortable in my body already.”
“This is the first fitness/dance class I’ve taken that allows my creativity to shine.”

12 year old Mequon resident and NSAA Stagekids Alumni, Mari Duckler, is rapidly becoming well known throughout SE Wisconsin as a highly skilled young actress. She recently landed a professional acting position at the Fireside Dinner Theater in Fort Atkinson, WI. Mari will be the lead supporting role, “Pepper” in the Fireside’s upcoming production of Annie. The Fireside Dinner Theater attracts national audiences as a professional theater each year.
Mari first came to NSAA as a 9 year old seeking private vocal instruction with vocal coach, Angela Mack. From there, she auditioned for the NSAA Stagekids Production of High School Musical and was surprisingly cast as the lead role of “Sharpay Evans”. She was also “Lily St. Regis” (Annie) and “Phineous Trout” (Willy Wonka) through NSAA Stagekids.
Since then, Mari has performed at Homestead High School Auditorium, Range Line Auditorium, Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and has appeared in the film, “The Bully”.
Quite spectacular about Mari’s experience is that she was recently cast as the highly competitive and lead role “Junie B.” (Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business) at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.
Mari will also soon be performing as “Ady” in Miss Nelson is Missing at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. She is currently taking private tap/ballet at NSAA with Miss Kathleen Fictum so that she is a “triple threat” to the world of musical theater.
Mari dreams of performing on Broadway someday. At this rate, she just might! Keep your eye on this petite and spunky soprano belter!

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.

Our Visual Arts Department has some exciting news! Due to a series of grant money, we will be able to bring two exciting visual arts events to the Southeastern WI area.
Our Midwest photographic arts event SATURATION received a generous grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund.
ARTIST IN MOTION, held at the Bayshore Town Center throughout the summer is supported in part by a grant from the WI ARTS BOARD with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
North Shore Academy of the Arts is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that serves all ages in the visual, literary, and performing arts. We are an affiliate member of the United Performing Arts Fund and have been serving southeast WI for a decade.
