Downstage Arts To Present Third Annual Teen Cohort Showcase
The event will be hosted by Broadway star Desi Oakley, and featuring all of the Teen Cohort members.
Downstage Arts presents its Third Annual Teen Cohort Showcase and Fundraiser! The event will be hosted by Broadway star Desi Oakley, and featuring all of the Teen Cohort members.
The company has enrolled thirteen teens (the biggest class to date) in the flagship program, The Teen Cohort, which mentors high school seniors in their college and theatre conservatory application process-all the way until decision day.
Now that all the hard work has been done, it is time to celebrate each student and their successes. This showcase will celebrate the students' accomplishments, talents, and stories as they write the next chapters of their artistic lives.
Food will be provided from Tamale Spaceship and Beacon Doughnuts, along with local craft beers from Chicago Breweries. Doors open at 6:30 and performances will begin at 7:30.
