Our COLLEGE CABARET Young Adults finished their week by learning from three accomplished theater professionals:

Moya Angela, who got her start in THE LION KING on Broadway and has performed in DREAMGIRLS, GHOST, and on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT and 30 ROCK, led a masterclass, sharing insights from her award-winning career on Broadway, the West End, television, and beyond.

LaDonna Burns, whose credits include WHITE GIRL IN DANGER, CAROLINE, OR CHANGE, FOLLIES, RENT, and SEUSSICAL, had an engaging conversation with the performers.

Eddie Curry, actor, director, and producer, who spent 35 years as Artistic Director of Beef & Boards, spent an evening providing his expertise and preparing the performers for their performance!

Join us for the COLLEGE CABARET performance tonight at 8 p.m.
