Posted: 12/6/06 at 11:32pmHi! I'm super-excited! I am in the LaGuardia Arts High School (the "Fame" School)'s production of Ragtime! We open Thursday night, and, despite having loved musicals for 11 years, this is my first full-fledged musical! Try to break my leg!

Heard back from someone who was at the preview saying the cast is phenomenally talented.
Break lots of legs, and an arm or two.

does LaG no longer hold their productions in the Spring? I seem to remember the Spring Drama Festival being the yearly Drama event.
...oh, congrats!

Posted: 12/7/06 at 2:07amThe most important thing is to enjoy this. Joy is contageous, it's the greatest gift an actor can bestow on the audience. Fire, passion and joy.

Posted: 12/7/06 at 8:45amBreak a leg! Is there any way people not connected to the school can see it? Is it open to the public? If so, when are the shows?

Posted: 12/7/06 at 8:45amBreak a leg. But correct me if I am wrong, LaGuardia wasn't even around when "Fame" came out, they combined 2 other performing arts schools and got LaGuardia. So why does everyone always call it the Fame school?

Thanks, guys! 6 hours to go!
I play JP Morgan.
The Spring Drama Festival is a sequence of threen straight plays, with only senior drama majors.
The annual musical is in the winter, and is open to any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior, but it is competitive to get into.
The Fame School was the High School of the Performing Arts. In the early 1980's, it combined with the High School of Music and Art into one school, which is now called LaGuardia. LaGuardia retained much of the staff of the High School of the PA, some of which are still here. It is therefore the closest existing thing to the Fame School. (Some HS's, like PPAS, followed after our model, but we are the original.)
You can find ticket info on
our website.

Posted: 12/9/06 at 12:26amThe second performance went smoothly, and the double-cast Mother and Coalhouse did their opening performance amazingly. 6 more (including a Junior High student matinee)to go!
