Exploring Careers in the Theater Arts

Shawn Storms grew up in and around the theater. She attended and graduated from the high school for the performing arts and is beginning her final semester of theater arts at
Wright State University. Her credits include acting, singing, dancing, choreography, and some directing on a local and regional level and she is currently preparing for an audition in New York City. After graduation, Shawn plans to continue her studies in graduate school and study directing. Her ultimate goal is to own a theater company. Shawn is not too much different in age from the current middle and high school students but knows well how difficult it is to find parts and pursue dreams of performing on Broadway. She will be candid but encouraging with the students because she realizes how important it is to be honest and realistic with aspiring actors.

Grades 7-12: Xanadu: Careers in the Performing Arts

Careers in The Performing Arts

Tuesday, March 9 - 1:00

XANADU follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, CA in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time - the first roller disco. When Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sister takes advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.

This hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends Jeff Lynne and John Farrar, and includes, "Magic," "All Over The World," "Suddenly," "I'm Alive," "Evil Woman," "Have You Never Been Mellow," and "Xanadu," to name a few, and is based on the Universal Pictures' cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly.
