Today’s morning performance from
Tony Nominee Melissa Hart started us off in the Broadway spirit
for Musical Theatre’s Immersion Day. Ms. Hart also gave a Master
Class for the Musical Theatre students, and bringing her in from
Houston’s Alley Theatre is just one of many examples of what GSA’s
amazing administration and faculty can provide for GSA students
each summer.
Our Photographer and Documentarian
Kevin Flores (you can thank him for all of the beautiful pictures
you see on these web pages) and his brother David Flores taught a
screenwriting workshop for the Creative Writers today.
The Musical Theatre faculty taught a
Smorg called “So You Think You’re A Triple Threat”, and before
classes resumed after lunch the whole school sat down to watch
these students perform Chicago in 10 minutes!
Melissa Hart stayed to teach another
Master Class for the Musical Theatre students, and Eastern
Kentucky University Professor and Principal Trumpet player for the
EKU Brass, Joseph Van Fleet, taught a Master Class for the
Instrumental Musicians.
James Baker Hall, a writer and
photographer, taught a workshop for the Creative Writers. Mr. Hall
is a former Poet Laureate of Kentucky and the recipient of the O.
Henry and Pushcart Prizes as well as NEA Fellowships. He has also
lectured on photography at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Rhode Island School of Design, and the Minneapolis
Museum of Art, was formerly a Contributing Editor for
Aperture, and is one of
the last living members of the famed Lexington Camera Club.
In the evening, Instrumental Music
students toughed it out through a little bit of rain and listened
to the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra’s patriotic concert on the
eve of the Fourth of July.
