CELEBRATING OUR 2008–09 SEASON! CASA (Cultural After-School Adventures program) For the fourth year in a row, Inside Broadway dispatched its accomplished teaching artists to 14 public schools in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx for the Cultural After School Adventures (Casa Program). Under the direction of Inside Broadway’s Program Director, Katie McAllister, students worked with 2 teaching artists for two months building a musical presentation. The theme this year was “If My Friends Could See Me Now” and was based on the question “If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?” The students learned Broadway songs, choreography, acting and vocal skills and helped to form the script through their responses to the music and theme. Students also helped to paint the backdrop for the performance with materials supplied by Inside Broadway. In addition to their work with the teaching artists, the students also worked with a professional musician in preparation for the final presentation in front of their school and community. At the end of the program each student received an Inside Broadway certificate of completion on stage in front of their friends and family. Each CASA school also received a performance of Inside Broadway’s production of “Smokey Joe’s Café” for the entire school to enjoy. Each student attending the performance received a copy of our specially prepared Study Buddy and participated in our Q&A after the show. Between the workshop program and the school tour this program served over 7,000 children. 2 1 2008/2009 CASA Participants and Funders P.S. 201 Brooklyn – Council Member Vincent Gentile P.S. 172 Brooklyn – Council Member Sara Gonzalez P.S. 45 Brooklyn – Council Member Erik Martin Dilan P.S. 151 Brooklyn – Council Member Erik Martin Dilan P.S. 182 Bronx – Council Member Annabel Palma P.S. 119 Bronx – Council Member Annabel Palma P.S. 71 Bronx – Council Member James Vacca P.S. 108 Bronx – Council Member James Vacca M.S. 142 Bronx – Council Member Larry Seabrook P.S. 77 Manhattan – Council Member Daniel Garodnick P.S. 87 Queens – Council Member Anthony Como P.S. 63 Queens – Council Member Joseph Addabbo P.S. 11 Queens – Council Member Eric Gioia August Martin HS – Council Member Thomas White 3
