Studio Vibe Arts Spotlights Even the Littlest Actors
Parents asked him for more – more opportunities for kids from kindergarten through fourth grade to get a taste of performance. That’s the request that prompted Bryce Henrickson, a theater enthusiast who had run West Fargo School System’s Summer Arts Intensive for three years, to spin off his own program for students of every age. Now in its third summer, Studio Vibe Arts is getting ready to stage the season’s main-stage musical Aug. 11-14. A cast of 32 young people spanning ages from elementary school to post-graduation have been spending their days at the TAK Music Venue in Dilworth. Directed by Henrickson, two choreographers and a music director, they are practicing their singing, dancing and stagecraft for “Newsies,” a musical based on the 1992 movie based on the New York City newsboy strike of 1899. From their costumes to the striking steampunk set, the show reflects both a polished approach and the burgeoning talents of its young cast.
