Broadway
Kids of San Diego’s Fourth Season in the
Resilience of the Spirit Festival to perform Paradise
Alice
Cash founding director and
executive producer of Broadway Kids of San Diego announces that
Broadway Kids of San Diego will be a part of the Resilience of the
Spirit Festival at Compass Theatre (formerly Sixth at
Penn Theatre) in San Diego California.
During the festival the audience will experience stories that prove the
true resilience of the human spirit in overcoming repression and adversity.
The fourteen-play festival runs June 26-August 3, 2008.
Broadway
Kids of San Diego will perform
Paradise by Glyn O’Malley.
The play was inspired by a true story about two 17-year-old girls,
Sarah a hopeful writer, living with her Mother in a Jewish settlement outside
of Jerusalem and Fatima, an aspiring photographer living in a Palestinian
refugee camp at the height of the last Intifada.
Broadway
Kids of San Diego is the only
children’s theatre company involved with the Resilience of the Spirit
Festival. Paradise
features four local teenagers, Charlotte Ostrow as Sarah, Gabriella
Espinal as Fatima, Ryan Murphy as Bassam, Daniel Myers as
Omar, and the only adult actor Diane Levin as Shoshana.
Directed by Alice Cash, with Keegan Porter as Stage
Manager and Danielle Levin as Assistant Stage Manager.
This
is a powerful piece that will make the audience think.
Not just about the conflict in this one area, but on a global scale.
Broadway Kids of San Diego tries to push the limits of
theatre and create pieces in which the audience will find that there are ways
to make differences in the world.
