Fame Performing Arts, Inc.

Do you ask your kids what their favorite part of rehearsal was? We do! Check out our story for a cute video testimonial! We loved having Broadway Weekends with us and as they asked for some testimonies for their newsletter we thought it was only fair to share them with you too! Was it your kid who felt like being an ogre or who found it really unique? Don’t forget to ask them. Get specific with your questions: What made you laugh in rehearsal today? Who did you sit next to? What was something challenging you did with your body or voice today? Tell me something new that you learnt today. Specific questions always get great answers.

There are no classes or rehearsals Friday so but try it next week!

Have a great weekend!

REMINDER!
It's no coincidence that a lot of kids who struggle with ADHD excel in Performing and Visual Arts. For many children, having an outlet outside of academics is crucial. ADHD is something we at FAME experience on a daily basis and man, these kids are such a gift.

This is why we would like to invite you to a screening of The Disruptors, a documentary that dives in to the perception of ADHD and provides an inside look at five families currently living with this condition.

Forget what you THINK you know about ADHD and join us for this free event March 26, 3-5:30pm at Encore Music Hall

Discover a New Perspective on ADHD at Private Screening of Award-Winning Documentary "The Disruptors" - Holy City Sinner

Thank you for the support, Holy City Sinner. We hope to see everyone on Sunday.

Discover a New Perspective on ADHD at Private Screening of Award-Winning Documentary "The Disruptors" - Holy City Sinner On Sunday, March 26th, the Encore Music Hall in Mount Pleasant will host a screening of the award-winning documentary, The Disruptors. The event begins at 3 pm and is free to attend. It’s time to forget what you think you know about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as The Disruptors...

Did you know reading out loud can help develop stronger acting skills? Not just for reading a script and the eventual learning of lines... but also for understanding a story, discovering a character’s inflections, noticing pauses in dialogue and using emotional expression. All of these skills while reading a book can greatly enhance your ability to tell a good story on stage. Why not try it this week? Ask your child to read aloud to you and encourage them to do it dramatically. Or vice versa, see how dramatic you can be!
.
You could also listen to an audiobook together and talk about how the narrator uses their voice to make the story exciting. What do they do to make it sound mysterious or funny or scary? How do they build tension?
All of these observations will be PERFECT for their own character work and so useful when they're learning their lines.
.
So go have some dramatic fun with books this week, our Directors will see the impact on stage, and you'll enjoy the family connection time! ;-)

PERIOD

This is the business of opinions. Your worth is not defined by getting a role, getting in to a show/program/college, or booking a job.

The performing arts is a unique art form comprised of expression, creativity, and passion - not competition. Judgement belongs out the theater door; instead celebrate others' talents with appreciation!
.
.
.
.

IT IS TIME! When it comes to the performing arts, competition should take a backseat. After all, it is the business of opinions. Our opinion is you're pretty great already.

FAME is a non-competitive, non-competition based performing arts studio. We are absolutely committed to keeping all the drama on stage, where it belongs!

When is it time to sign your child up for performing arts classes?

ANY TIME is the RIGHT time! Seriously, there is no "right time". It's whenever you're ready to fit it in to your schedule. We know our students are in to a lot of other things, so we don't require them to be here 4+ days each week. In fact, we think that's not great for them. We also don't encourage students to pursue college degrees in performing arts, but that's for another post at another time...

Are you ready to join a performing arts studio that is all about FUN?! Get on our email list to be first on the list to register for Fall at FAME.

Most parents strongly dislike reminding their children to practice. Luckily at FAME, we encourage students to not practice....hear us out!

If practicing is the problem, reminding them over and over is NOT the solution. The solution is to find ways to incorporate playing/singing in to their regular schedule so it becomes part of them. Not something they HAVE to do, but something they can't wait to do. Yes, even the scales...

Ready for a new experience with lessons and a better relationship with your child? Try out FAME for private 1:1 music lessons.

Welcome to our newest piano teach Ms. Ronda! Lesson times are open!

Ronda Perry was born and raised in Southern California and started studying piano at the age of 6. By 14, she was the church pianist where she attended and continued to play and sing in various vocal ensembles. At 17, she auditioned and was granted the privilege of studying piano under Dr. Paul Bregor, piano virtuoso and head of music at Boston College. Ronda has been teaching piano off and on for the last 25 years. She graduated from The University of Tennessee in Knoxville with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Ronda moved to Mt. Pleasant in 1999 and fell in love with the lowcountry. She is currently chipping away at her M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and is very active in her church. She has two adult children and enjoys writing, quilting, and cooking for friends.

Ok, this one made us laugh....😂

Happy Valentine's Day to all of our FAME sweethearts 😍
