So it's been more than a year…! I previously wrote for BroadwayWorld's High School Center from 2016-2017 as a junior and senior in high school. With senior year stress, college craziness, and this huge transition in life, I had to take a break from writing. During the break from my last post A LOT has happened.

The Axelrod Performing Arts Center  APAC) presents "Ain't Misbehavin' The Fats Waller Musical Show"  for four performances only: August 13 & 20 at 3 p.m. and August 16 & 17 at 8 p.m. The musical is being directed and choreographed by Neptune resident Fredi Walker-Browne, whose Broadway credits include the original cast of the musical "RENT" (Joanne Jefferson) and the national tour of"The Lion King" (Rafiki).

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of taking Fredi Walker-Browne's three day workshop at my school, the OCVTS: Performing Arts Academy. Being able to take such an informative class on the entertainment world was eye opening and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to take this class at my school as both a freshman and senior. When learning about show business and casting I found myself reflecting on how big the performance world is, and how thankful I am to be apart of such a crazy yet thrilling field.

I'll never forget the day I found out the first-ever BroadwayCon was happening. I saw the headline in big, bold letters, and could barely believe my eyes. I WENT INSANE (tbh, that's an understatement). I began jumping up and down, screaming at the top of my lungs!!! For years and years, I'd been constantly rambling on about how desperately I wanted a Broadway convention to happen. Finally, it was going to be a reality, and I was overwhelmed by joy and surprise! The first year of BroadwayCon was absolutely unforgettable-and not just because we got stuck at the Hilton in the midst of that crazy blizzard!!

In celebration of Fiddlehead Theatre Company's 20th Anniversary Production of the iconic musical RENT (February 5-21, 2016 at the Back Bay Events Center - 180 Berkeley Street, Boston), original RENT cast member and Broadway star Fredi Walker-Browne will present a free seminar called "Storytelling for Actors" on Saturday, February 6th at the Back Bay Events Center, between 12-4 pm. 

This month we are all RENT-heads again, because BroadwayWorld is paying homage to the musical with 20 days of RENT! Be sure to check back daily to get your fix with videos of performances from Broadway, the big screen and beyond. Today, we're bringing you Idina Menzel and Fredi Walker performing 'Take Me or Leave Me' in 1996.
