For the past month I have been rehearsing a new musical called "Alice's Phonics Fantasy" It is a musical focusing on teaching kids to read through African Dance. I landed the role of Alice and was excited to be a part of a show like this, since I have never been much of a dancer, and have never done Childrens shows, this was going to be a big challenge! The 2 week rehearsal process was extremely draining, tiring and frusterating...but this week the show opened and it was a great success.
The first show, Thursday night, was basically a private performance for my family and friends! The audience consisted of Cameron, my mom & dad, Ash, Ty and 2 of my friends. Friday on the other hand was a sold out performance for 800 children from charter schools around NYC. saturdays house was a bit smaller - but still a nice crowd! So far the response has been great, and we are looking to take this show on tour in the fall!
Soon clips will be available on the website, phonicsfantasytheater.com
