BWW Review: CINDERELLA at Rise Above Performing Arts Showcases Talent and Imagination

Rise Above Performing Arts brought a little magic to Sarasota this January with the Broadway adaptation of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

BWW Review: Can't Help Falling in Love with ALL SHOOK UP at Rise Above Performing Arts

The stage has been pretty empty this past year, so it was refreshing to be able to go see a live performance, especially one indoors, with enhanced safety protocols. I have tried to attend as many events as my schedule will allow, but musicals naturally have been scarce. Rise Above Performing Arts always exceeds my expectations and their production of “All Shook Up” was yet another confirmation of the incredible work produced by this group of talented young performers.

BWW Review: WEST SIDE STORY at Rise Above Performing Arts Beyond Expectations

As I entered the theatre to pick up my tickets for Rise Above Performing Arts production of a?oeWest Side Storya?? I overheard Artistic Director, Jacob Ruscoe talking with a patron about the show.

Having seen their productions in the past I knew achieving this feat with this show would be a challenge and I was pleasantly surprised that they not only met but exceeded this challenge to produce a very impressive rendition of this beloved story.
BWW Review: GLORY DAYS at Rise Above Performing Arts Takes You Back to the Good Ol' Days

In 2008, I was one of the few who was privileged enough to see a?oeGlory Daysa?? open (and close) on Broadway. So, when I saw that the show was in our area I made it a priority to attend. My anticipation for what I had hoped to witness did not go unfilled as Rise Above Performing Arts delivered a passionate rendition of this much maligned musical.
