TheEmerging Artists Showcaseis a unique partnership between a professional, regional theaterand a secondary school theatre program. Its purpose is to present selected graduates from the AW Dreyfoos School of Arts Theatre Program to the South Florida theatre/film community. The showcase is directed by Kenneth Kay (a Carbonell award-winning director and former Producing Artistic Director of the Blowing Rock Stage Company, North Carolina) in collaboration with Beverly Blanchette (Dreyfoos Theatre Dean/Acting Director) and Bruce Linser (Dreyfoos Music Theatre Director). The showcase includes songs, scenes, and monologues from popular, contemporary plays/musicals along with original works.
Audience members will also be treated to a lobby display of student scenic/costume designs, design/technical portfolios, and original art work. Through this endeavor, the Dreyfoos theatre students experience, first hand, a professional audition and rehearsal process.
It is the dream of Hayes and Blanchette that theEmerging Artists Showcasewill be an annual event for years to come. At Palm Beach Dramaworks’ new home at the Don and Ann Brown Theatre, the Dreyfoos Theatre Department graduates will perform in their first professional venue before embarking upon their college and professional careers.
