Showcase performances at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater:

“STAR CROSSED,” Hope Academy of Music and the Arts’ 2010 Showcase Performance: Romeo and Juliet as you've never seen it before—remixed, mashed up, deconstructed and re-imagined. Fifty Hope Academy students will sing, dance and act their way through the complexities of the story and themes of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. With text straight from the Bard and music from West Side Story, Spring Awakening, Radiohead, Dire Straights, The Proclaimers and more, this 400 year old play takes on a whole new life. Shakespeare scenes are directed by Tonya Lynn, with choreography by Staycee Pearl and Michael Walsh, and music direction by Anna Elder, Devin Flynt and Michael Chapman. There are two performances. Tickets are available at the door for $5 each:
  • Saturday, June 26 at 7pm
  • Sunday, June 27 at 3 pm
