Our Wall of Fame
Below we have a list of our graduates, young adults who are pursuing their careers in the Arts or in
college who had the bulk of their pre-college arts training here and what they have since
accomplished. I’ve been asked why we list them.
It’s simple, these individuals represent the proof of our mission’s validity and that
Stage Right! really is a place where dreams begin! !

Featured Graduate – Nicole Stouffer – Musical Theatre – Point Park
“Without Stage Right, I would not have found who I was, not only as a performer, but also as a person.
Every one of my teachers pushed me in so many ways. As I continued to take classes and perform in
every show that I could, I finally came out of my shell. I started getting cast in leading roles and by my
freshman year of high school, decided that I wanted to go on to study theatre in college. I could not have
made this decision without Stage Right. Not only has Stage Right prepared me for a career in theatre,
but also helped me grow into the person I am today.”

Rehearsal
In the afternoon, after lunch, students in both age groups rehearse the show they are
performing at the end of camp. On the first day of camp there is an audition. This is
NOTHING to be afraid of. We want you to do the best that you can do and everyone will
get a chance to shine onstage. Most lead roles are double or triple cast depending on the
amount of students and shows. After the shows are cast, we start rehearsal. Usually the
rehearsal process starts by learning the music. It’s helpful to have a little recorder or
recorder app on your phone to record your parts to practice at home. Choreography
rehearsals will require you have clothes you are able to move in and all students must wear
appropriate footwear. Its important to keep track of your materials and to bring a pencil to
rehearsal to write down blocking and choreography. When we move into the theatre for the
4 days of rehearsal your whole day is now rehearsal only, from 9 to 4 with a break for lunch.
Remember rehearsals will accomplish more and create a better show if all of us work
together and support one another!
Tap
Students learn the importance of counting,!
rhythms and using the floor as an instrument.!
Basic steps and terminology are covered and !

of technique, barre and across the floor work is also explored. Pointe work is
offered for those that meet the instructors criteria.!

!
Occasionally we will welcome a professional !
artist who will hold a master class or an !
informal question and answer session with students.!
These are tremendous opportunities for kids to gain !
extra knowledge and experience from these guest !
stars! On slate for this summer: Point Park Theatre !
