BWW Blog: Allison Rambler - Come Look At the Freaks: Who They Are
by Allison Rambler - Aug 10, 2016


As the opening night of The Belmont Theater's 'Side Show' quickly approaches, the activity in the black box studio has increased ten-fold. The set is becoming more elaborate, the swell of music from the orchestra now fills the air, and the costumes are coming together piece by piece. Tech week has begun, and it can both an exciting and somewhat stressful time for any production. As an actor, it can sometimes be difficult to lose sight of your character and even the meaning behind the show itself among the bustle and flurry of tech week. That is why I felt that the time had come to interview some of the actors in our show, in order to provide a bit of insight into their characters and to explain from their perspective the importance of a musical such as 'Side Show.' And for Nik Olson, this was no small task.

Motivational Press to Publish 'A Cheerleaders Guide to Owning Your Truth, Achieving Your Dreams and Landing a Fulfilling Life as a Modern Parent'
by Christina Mancuso - Apr 18, 2016


Motivational Press today announced an agreement to publish 'Loud and Proud: A cheerleaders guide to owning your truth, achieving your dreams and landing a fulfilling life as a modern parent' written by Ally Loprete, which offers readers the ability to tap into their highest human potential with strategies to awaken their inner spirit and enthusiasm for life, be in celebration of themselves regardless of defeat, and discover their ability to reach personal achievement. ??Cheerleading is more than just rooting for the home team against the big bad rivals. It's a powerful metaphor for the kind of positive energy that creates miraculous and unexpected wins, lifts up one's spirits during times of struggle and doubt and the unwavering encouragement that keeps us ready to play and in the game no matter what the circumstance. ??Ally Loprete's Loud and Proud shares deeply personal experiences and insight that are meaningful, relatable and easily applicable for anyone (especially parents) to create positive change, live life without apology, and create an authentic environment for themselves and their families. For release in Fall 2016. Loud and Proud shares with readers an uplifting tale of one woman's path to inner spirit and exhilaration. As a young girl, Ally Loprete had dreams of fitting in, having a powerful voice and making a positive difference in the world. She believed in the unprecedented capacity for human potential and the unappreciated genius of those who lacked a megaphone or a spotlight. In high school, her conquest to be 'popular' landed her a cheerleader's uniform, the vexing societal pressure to perform and behave in a certain way, and the ability to create authentic inspiration for the underdog. Twenty years later, she is still lifting others up, uniting the crowd in harmonious optimism, and destroying barriers that threaten the pursuit of excellence. ??Loud and Proud is an honorable and brutally visible chronicle of a former cheerleader and current mom's perspective written in a language that will especially resonate with today's modern parent unleashing the true grit of what it takes to reach ones highest potential and as well as the top of the pyramid. ??Whether stuck in a circumstance, blocked from introspection or seeking deeper purpose, the author's truth is a call for inspired action and reverence of personal triumph. ??It's a permission slip to courageously celebrate all of life's journeys, rebel against societal expectations, and discover the unabashed self truth that will lead to powerful personal transformations and spiritual enlightenment. ? Motivational Press is excited to work with Ally Loprete. With lively encouragement, Ally examines how to: • Awaken your very own personal cheerleader, capitalize on your inner resilience and enthusiasm, and lift your own spirits during times of struggle or uncertainty. • Tap into your highest potential and achieve mind-blowing abundance, personal transformations and spiritual enlightenment. • Move past limiting beliefs and break down unnecessary barriers to reveal your unrealized human potential. • Discover the most effective way to problem solve, make tough decisions without hesitation, and rid yourself of doubt once and for all. • Create a positive and enthusiastic environment for yourself and your children to flourish, regardless of any circumstance.
