After months of rehearsals and memorizing lines the drama students at Lantana Middle School, 1225 W. Drew St., will have the opportunity to showcase their theatrical skills to the public. The classic musical "Fame" takes place at the New York School of the Performing Arts right after the movie "Fame” was released. They will follow several characters through their four years of high school and watch how they transform and grow in their academic and performance lives as well as their personal lives.
The students have put in more than 150 hours of rehearsal time with cast members ranging in age from 12 to 15. Teacher, sponsor and producer of FAME, Judy Licata said, “The kids gave up participating in school sports, clubs and activities, and hours of time with their friends and family. In addition to rehearsal time they assisted with set design, costumes, and lighting. I have never witnessed students with such tremendous commitment to both a show and their fellow cast members. I am so proud of them.”
Performances are 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 16 and Saturday, April 18. There will be a 15 minute intermission. Admission is free
