Andy Fickman Visits the Studio
What a thrill it was to interview mega Hollywood and theatre director/producer, Andy
Fickman! Andy sat with us for over 2 hours and Gene had the privilege of
interviewing him. He was incredibly gracious and informative. And an
incredible storyteller.
He validated everything we teach our students. When you work hard, never give up, and strive to give your students only the best, occasionally you have experiences like this. Gene says, "I'm stepping out of the program director box for a moment to say that even at my age I had the chance to do something I haven't done in a while. I had the chance to interview a major player in show business and felt great about it afterwards. That's the beauty of dreams. They're not reserved only for the young." Those in attendance won't forget that night for years to come. The night Andy Fickman came to From Stage to Screen and talked to our students.

Scholarship News!
Say hello to the recipient of our first annual
Senior Leadership Scholarship award, Kaleigh Liebler!
The From Stage to Screen Leadership Award was started this year by a parent who has a child in our program. She was very moved and extremely complimentary of the way we acknowledge our seniors and by our academy in general. She felt that Kaleigh exemplified the leadership skills that represent the studio and the goals we aspire to for our students.
Congratulations to Kaleigh, who will attend Providence College this fall! We couldn't be prouder of you and all your accomplishments. And thank you to our student's parent for creating this award! What a great day for the studio, and of course for Kaleigh. Our motto has always been, and always will be, quality people first, performers second. Very excited at the direction we're headed. Perfect day.

Last September, From Stage to Screen lost our good friend, Jon Parker. Jon appeared in our teen production of West Side Story, and our parent production of Grease. Gene also had the great pleasure to play opposite Jon in a show that had an extended run. Jon was great to work with and a really good performer. And such a great person.
We're proud to say that the first From Stage to Screen Jon Parker Scholarship Award for Courage was awarded to a deserving student for the upcoming semester. This award will cover tuition for a class at the studio, and was awarded with the consent of Jon's lovely wife, Andrea Parker. A toast to Jon Parker. As quality a person as you would ever want to meet.

Heathers was a huge hit!
Larry O'Keefe, co-writer/lyricist/composer of Heathers the Musical, and Andy Fickman, the Director of the Off-Broadway production of Heathers came to our show and were gracious to spend time with our cast and production team after the show!
We're not the only ones excited about our alumni production of Heathers the Musical!
"Our first Education Spotlight features two-time Drama Desk Award and Lucille Lortel Award Winner, HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL. The show is getting a revamp with new music and scene changes! Directed by original cast member and Long Island Native Dan Domenech, the writers have allowed him to beta test this never-before-seen version of the show with current students and Alumni of From Stage to Screen, Long Island's Premiere Performing Arts Academy! If all goes well, this will become the official version of the show!"

"The level of commitment from the students is inspiring and their history as students of Stage to Screen added an element of confidence and trust from day one that can take weeks to develop when starting up a new production. Kevin Murphy, 'Heathers' book writer, has been sending over changes that really serve the piece well and keep the heart of what made the show popular intact," said this production's director, Broadway performer and Heathers original cast member Dan Domenech, in a statement.
"It's wonderful to see the students getting the first-hand experience of what it's like working with a new material on a show like this," he added.

In just four weeks, our students learned about working on film and applying special effects makeup. They danced, they acted, they went to a Broadway show. They had master classes with industry professionals and even got some outdoor time at West Hills Day Camp. And, oh yeah, they put on a full-length production of Footloose the Musical! What an intense (and fun!) summer it was!
