Beatlemania Now at the Strand

The first live show of the year - “Beatlemania Now” at the Strand Theater in Zelienople. If you love the “Liverpool Four” and haven’t seen this show, I would definitely recommend it. The auditorium is quite spacious but there are just a few rows, so you feel totally present in the show from any seat. What’s your favorite Beatles song?

Actor’s Portfolio for Zoe

Zoe was a thunderstorm on stage. You couldn’t look anywhere else when she was on stage. She played Yente and was the embodiment of a busybody and a matchmaker in the most hilarious way.

Her other interests are playing golf, extreme board gaming, and writing cool music at Vanderbilt.

Actor’s Portfolio for Ian

Ian played Lazar Wolf in Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof. When watching Ian on stage, I kept coming back to the thought that he looks a lot like Pierre Bezukhov from Leo Tolstoy's “War and Peace”, specifically in Sergey Bondarchuk’s screen adaptation, when he’s saying “When our lives are knocked off course we imagine everything in them is lost. It is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal still to come.”

Three more features from Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof.

Grace played Yussel, the town hatter. Can you tell it was her first time being in the cast of a show?

Portraits on the go: Artists Palette of Death Valley

I always look forward to using my camera on our trips, and not only to capture the memories of the beautiful places we visit. It’s a great opportunity for practicing quick reaction to a photogenic situation, focusing fast, and choosing your composition before your family loses patience and runs away to the next point of interest.

Lacrosse Fan

Lacrosse is Alena’s favorite sport. She fell in love with it last spring, right before the lockdown, and it was one of the things that kept her motivated to go outside, to use the new free time and to learn new skills. I’m really proud of what you've achieved in the past 12 months.

Actor’s Portfolio for Nikki

Nikki’s interests besides theater are painting, singing, and playing the piano. Artistic people always have more than one talent. It is always entertaining to watch dynamics between the actors’ ensemble behind the stage and Nikki always, always radiates this kind warm aura that makes at ease people around her.

Actor’s Portfolio for Felicia

Felicia trains at the Pittsburgh CLO Academy and radiates this professional actress confidence both behind the scenes and on stage. She performed Chava in Sewickley Academy’s senior school musical “Fiddler on the Roof” and she added depth and multidimensionality to her character, so vulnerable and strong at the same time.

Actor’s Portfolio for Alex

Here’s another brilliant performance by Alex in Sewickley Academy’s senior school musical “Fiddler on the Roof”. If there’s an emotional scene on stage, her face is always the one you look at. Bravo, Alex!

Actor’s Portfolio for Jayne

Jayne is a semi-professional actress already. She’s been involved in PAC and CLO productions and her favorites are Annie Jr. and The Sound of Music. In “Sewickley Academy’s “Fiddler on the Roof’“ she portrays Bielke, so gentle and fragile. Jayne has a beautiful voice and I can’t wait to hear her sing again.
