The Advanced Showcase

REVIEWED BY DONNA BAILEY-THOMPSON

The Drama Studio's invitation was irresistable.

You're invited to the Drama Studio's advanced showcase! The Advanced Showcase Come See Us Tomorrow! Dear Donna,   We like to keep this one casual, so there are no tickets to buy, plenty of seats for all.  We simply want you to come to the Studio, hang out with us, and watch our oldest and most advanced students do some really incredible work.   Tomorrow, Friday May 20th   7:30PM J These are the pieces that may be a little too long, too intellectual, or a little too. . . er. . . risqué for our regular Cabaret weekend.   Come take a wild ride with us!   (It will also be intellectually enriching: we promise.)

There were 16 slices of life, samples of their talent -- acting, dancing, singing, improvising, creating -- and charging the three-quarter round upstairs theater with energy and their joy of entertaining.

They have received excellent training; their bodies accommodate the nuttiness of their residual kid along with the dedication of who else they are -- young adults, on a cusp of discovering who they are, who they will become.
