Vlog 1 - Behind the Scenes @ Jesus Christ Superstar!

Hey all!

So in September, I began my journey as playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, a production by Lauralton Hall (an all-girls Catholic school) in Milford, CT. It's been an awesome experience so far, and I've had the chance to work with an amazing cast and director. Now here's your chance to see this process for yourself. Here is the first installment of "What's the Buzz? - Jesus' Vlog". Enjoy!

The New Paradigm Theatre Youth Board's Broadway Star Open Mic Night

Have you ever wanted to sing for Broadway Stars?
Ever wanted to spend a night of show tunes with your friends?
Do you want to be a Broadway Star, even for one moment?
The New Paradigm Theatre YOUTH Board is sponsoring an Open Mic Night style Cabaret Night. It is for people of all ages.

If you remember our past two "So Ya Wanna Be a Broadway Star" Competitions, you sang in front of a panel of judges in the entertainment industry. 

In this Open Mic Night, you will prepare a song and sing for a panel of judges. Here's the catch:
You aren't competing. 
You heard us right. It's not a competition. It's a fun night of singing and entertainment!


If you are interested in performing, here's what you need to do:

1. Bring Music in your key (please no transposition)
2. Your music should be either double sided or back to back (in protective sheet covers) in a 3-ring binder for the accompanist
a. The song should be short or a shortened version of it (Ex: A song with 4 verses you sing 2 instead) not 16 bars.
3. Email nptyouthboard@gmail.com with your name and song title BEFORE Saturday the 19th. (If you change your mind at the last minute it is ok, but best if the accompanist had an idea of what you are singing.)
4. Wear attire you would wear for an audition.
5. Arrive at the Watermark before 2pm of Oct. 19th to register.
6. Invite family and friends to cheer you on!

It's going to be a night of fun and Broadway music! Please do come!
