Careers in the Performing Arts with Cast and Crew of "La Cage Aux Folles"

Introduce your students to company members from this acclaimed show.  Our guests will discuss their careers, education, training and the realities of working on a touring show.  Your students will have the opportunity to interact with our guests in a Q&A session.


Join us on Tuesday, November 15th for a special Careers in the Performing Arts program featuring cast and crew members of the current touring production of “La Cage Aux Folles.” 



La Cage tells the story of Georges, the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and h
partner Albin, who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges' son brings h
fiancée's conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the t
the feather boas fly! La Cage is a tuneful and touching tale of one family's struggle to stay toge
stay fabulous... and above all else, stay true to themselves! With a glorious score of hummable
melodies, La Cage is an indisputable musical comedy classic.


Through a panel (cast and crew) interview and Q&A session, students gain an understanding o
skills and competencies related to specific career fields in the performing arts directly from Br
professionals. Teachers benefit from bringing professionals right into the classroom through t
technology of distance learning! Our Teacher’s Guide connects the experience to the classroom
curriculum.


Careers in the Performing Arts enriches your students’ classroom experience and is a joint educ
initiative of PlayhouseSquare and WVIZ/PBS and 90.3 WCPN ideastream.
