Wondering what the kids of Broadway, Movies and TV do when they are not working? Broadway Kids Jam just launched its new series, featuring amazingly talented working kids who love to jam and make music when they are not performing on Broadway, or making movies, TV shows or commercials. Each video the kids work on a song, figure out the words, melody and parts of the song for about an hour, and then videotape their jam session. Sure they may forget some words or miss a few notes, but they have so much fun playing together and supporting each other's talents! They come from different backgrounds and are different ages, with different talents and abilities, but share a common bond - MUSIC.
'The future is female.' If the main stage at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts is any judge of it, this statement is true, and gives one hope for the future. The story of one 11-year-old girl who changes hearts and minds with optimism and determination is an inspiring one, as is the boundless energy and talent of the young females on stage who bring this story to life. Watching ANNIE last weekend, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the Great Depression, when at least the president cared about the people and developed (with Annie's help of course) a New Deal that would help lift the country out of poverty. A stark contrast to today's reality, when the current resident of the White House seems to care only for the rich, and those in need get served newly crappy deals nearly every day. Maybe we need to send Annie to the Washington to get Democrats and Republicans singing together about the hopeful future of America! In the meantime, head to the Ordway to see this swell production of an American musical theater classic and get your dose of optimism about our female future.
