Hey everyone, its Brianna! This is my first blog with the Arts Collective, and I'm ecstatic!

When I found out I was going to be a part of the Arts Collective I was very excited, but I was even more excited with the show selection. On Broadway is a musical revue starting from the 1920s, working its way up to the 2000s. As you travel through the wonderful world of Broadway, you experience all different styles of music and dance.

This show is an amazing experience because you get to see the cast members play various roles in one show. This versatile production has provided me the opportunity to play Effee White, from the show Dreamgirls. Effee White was the leading lady of her girl group "The Dreamettes", until the producers took a drastic turn which forced Effee out of the group. Effee's drive and determination to become a star in her own is very inspiring, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to play her in this show.

So come see On Broadway because this talented cast will take you on a journey through some of Broadway's greatest classics, and I promise you will not go home disappointed. On Broadway's performances are on October 14, 15, 16 at 8 p.m. and October 17 at 3 p.m. at the Studio Theater, so be there, and be ready to be entertained!
