The Naples Players KidzAct to Present Fame Jr

NAPLES, Fla. - May 10, 2016 - PRLog -- KidzAct, Youth Theatre of The Naples Players will present Fame Jr., the exciting coming-of-age musical loosely based on the 1980 blockbuster Fame. Fame Jr. will be performed May 20-22 in Blackburn Hall at Sugden Community Theatre, 701 5^th Avenue South in downtown Naples.

Fame Jr. is the story of the final four years of student experiences at the Performing Arts High School (The Fame School) in Manhattan. Much like the movie it gathers its inspiration from, the characters are dancers who want to make it into a professional dance company, actors who flirt with fame, but strive to become the next Meryl Streep or Robert DeNiro, and musicians who are torn between the pop and classical world. With a catchy score, this high-energy play is filled with exciting dances and powerful solos. It's about teens who live to perform, portrayed by KidzAct teens who feel the same!

Fame Jr. has a talented cast filled with KidzAct's most shining stars.
