Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Students Get Master Class By Original Broadway Cast of [title of show]


Wow! Talk about an great experience for young actors!

The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts is currently presenting the Broadway hit [title of show]. You can see the production this weekend, October 16-18 at 7pm in the Academy Theatre Black Box at 10th Street and Lewis Ave. in Downtown Las Vegas.

[title of show] follows two writers, Hunter and Jeff, who are racing against the clock to write a musical in time to submit it for a festival. The writers, along with their friends, are on a quest a create an original musical that does not conform to the current fads or expectations of what is currently popular on Broadway. [title of show] speaks to the artistic underdog in us all, as the characters struggle to write a musical about writing a musical.

But even better - three original cast members from the Broadway production - Susan Blackwell, Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen - are flying out to work with the students and chat with audience members.

The Broadway actors will teach a master class, take part in a VIP reception before the show Friday the 17th, and stay after the performance for a Q&A "talk back" with the audience.

When is the last time you got to see a show with original cast members (Bowen and Bell also wrote the show), and then ask questions afterwards? Really great experience for the students and the audience.

Tickets are $35 dollars for the whole package (reception, LVA performance and talk back) and the proceeds will be used to create a scholarship for an LVA theatre major.
