DESCRIPTION

Broadway Bound Children's Theatre along with the Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and Seattle Public Schools present their summer production of Fame - The Musical opening August 8, 2008 and running through August 17, 2008. Fame is a bittersweet but inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984).

This year's show marks the second year of the summer partnership between Broadway Bound, STG, Seattle Public Schools and the residents of the Rainier Valley. Executive Director Marka Jenkins-Waechter says, "After the success of last year's Dreamgirls program, and seeing the transformation of our young actors, it wasn't an option not to come back!"

Broadway Bound challenges children to develop their mental, physical, emotional, social and creative potentials through the joy and discipline of live musical theatre. The experience combines a fun and supportive atmosphere while holding actors to professional standards. To that end, Broadway Bound's founder and show director, Jim Nixon work with a team of musicians, choreographers, dancers, assistant directors and stage managers to provide a professional experience with high production values.

Fame features Shaniqua Bodary as Carmen Diaz, who received rave reviews last year for her portrayal of Effie White in Dreamgirls. Marsailles Solomon, who played Jimmy Early in Dreamgirls, returns to the stage playing Tyrone Jackson in Fame.

Fame is an ideal musical for the developing partnership between Seattle Theatre Group, Seattle Public Schools and Broadway Bound. Fame features a school that dedicates itself to the arts. Broadway Bound is a committed partner helping to transform Rainier Beach High School into the best performing arts school in the country as it was intended to be.
