It's a little known fact that there is no better place to be during those summer months for teens who are looking to prepare for a career in the performing arts. So much so, that notables like Natalie Portman, Robert Downey, Jr., Kate Pippy, Mandi Moore, Jon Cryer, Bryce Dallas Howard and many more spent their summers at this amazing camp tucked away in the Cataskills. That camp, Stagedoor Manor, has been providing teens with state of the arts training in theater for more than 30 years.
And this summer, the more than 290 students during the second summer session had an opportunity to bring their training full circle when Andy Sandberg (a Stagedoor alum and one of Broadway's youngest producer's ever) and cast members from the hit Broadway musical HAIR (recipient of the 2009 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical) sat down to chat and chew with these students.
Check out this amazing article on the experience these students had with cast members on Hollywood The Write Way (http://www.hollywoodthewriteway.com/2009/08/hair-meets-stagedoor-manor.html).
In recent years, the teen and tween market have exploded with new family programming, teen actors and such. Stagedoor has changed from a small out of the way place where serious kids can learn their craft, to a place where casting directors, agents, directors and production executives from New York and Los Angeles flock during the summer to find their next big “teen.”
There's so much going on at Stagedoor Manor that and it is the subject of several national news stories and broadcast reports. Check out http://www.stagedoormanor.com/, follow them on twitter @stagedoormanor.com for the latest happenings.
