Watch as Ainsley absolutely nails it with “Fly, Fly Away” from Catch Me If You Can in the final round of the RBTL NYC Bound competition. She brought passion, poise and energy to this beautiful song.

Ainsley was one of six female finalists in the competition. We are so incredibly proud of her!

A post from our former director, Mrs. Pam Marsocci:

“Was very excited to learn that our Pittsford Sutherland grad Avi Amon composed the music for the Drama Desk Outstanding Play nominee, “Well I’ll let You Go”. I often cite former student performers, but I’m equally thrilled to see those former students who are writers, composers, directors, designers, stage managers, educators, agents and more. I have kept up on some of Avi’s accomplishments (Jonathan Larson Grant, Eugene O’Neill Conference) but when I read his recent bio I was blown away by his many accolades and the mark he is making in theatre and music. We are so proud of you Avi! I must also add that Avi is one of the finest human beings I’ve been blessed to know. 👏👏👏👏👏♥️”

It’s amazing to hear the awesome things our alumni are doing!

AVI AMON is a Turkish-American composer, sound artist, and educator. He is a sought-after collaborator in theater, film, dance, and experiential art.

Ainsley did a fabulous job at yesterday’s preliminary round for the RBTL NYC Bound Competition. She thanks all who voted for her for “Fan Favorite.” Tomorrow evening at 7 PM, she will find out if she’s on of the 20 performers moving on to round two. Join us to cheer her on at the Rochester Broadway Theatre League! It’s free and will prove to be one of the most exciting nights of performances all year!

Only two more days to vote for Ainsley for the RBTL Fan Favorite! Voting closes Wednesday at noon. https://www.rochesterfirst.com/contests/rbtl-stars-of-tomorrow-fan-favorite/ #/gallery

Tomorrow, she takes the stage at RBTL West Herr Auditorium Theatre to sing in Round One of the NYC Bound competition! Thursday evening at 7pm, she and the other 39 contests will learn who moves forward in the competition - and it's free and open to the public. Please show up in full force to support Ainsley!!

Also - a debt of gratitude for Ainsley's NYC Bound Prep Team: Conquest Voice Studio (Voice Teacher), Mr. Scott Parker (pianist), and Mrs. Shemancik and Mr. Bohrer (audition coaches). It takes a village!
