NYA Alumni in 2019!
With the end of 2019 we celebrate the many artists we lost this past year
including Doris Day, Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Diahann Carroll, Albert Finney, Luke Perry,
Carol Channing, Tim Conway, Franco Zeffirelli, Toni Morrison, Peter
Fonda, Valerie Harper, Cameron Boyce, James Ingram, Eddie Money, Ric Ocasek (The Cars),
young Broadway performer Laurel Griggs, Caroll Spinney (Big Bird/The Grouch), Harold
Prince and, on August 7, 2019, our NYA community unexpectedly lost Troy Theatre
Ensemble's long-time beloved director Rick Bodick, just weeks after his second
National Youth Arts Award for his direction of his Outstanding
Production-winning Beauty and the Beast. Below he's pictured with one of
his former students, Sutton Foster. We mourn their loss, but celebrate
the lives they lived and all that they've inspired.
We also celebrate a year that saw so many young artists either beginning or
continuing to make exciting splashes in the arts, including a remarkable number
of former NYA
award winners and nominees. In
2019 that number exploded to more than 120 that we've
heard about including 21 on Broadway, 10 Off-Broadway, 23 on tour, 8 world
premieres, 60 in TV Series/Movies, and 14 in major films. The year also saw the
third NYA Alum over the past five years to get a Tony nomination (Maddy Bersin
as producer), and the first
Grammy Award for Alum Arianna Grande. Congratulations to all!
