In a partnership between Kenneth Feld's "Madhattan" and the academy, actors, dancers and singes from both venues have joined together to present a joint show for the benefit of the Las Vegas Academy at 3 p.m. April 25 in the Madhattan Theater at New York-New York. Acts from the show have mentored academy students and will appear on stage with them in this unique presentation.
According to academy principal Bob Gerye, "There are very few schools where high school students can work alongside professionals and truly hold their own. I attended a couple of rehearsals and was overjoyed at how my kids were able to keep up with professionals who have been doing this for years. We owe a lot to the 'Madhattan' cast for sticking with this project, even though the show is closing on May 3."
Tickets for this special performance of "Madhattan" can be purchased at the Las Vegas Academy, 315 S. Seventh St., for $10. For more information, call 799-7800, Ext. 0, between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
