An Artistic Review on Sunday

More than just a dance recital, the Elite Performance Academy will put on an Artistic Review this weekend in Huntington, and it includes some talented folks. My pal Michelle Shaver Heiner sent along this information:

Elite Performance Academy presents their Artistic Review 2007, Sunday, May 20, 2007, with shows at 2:00pm and 6:00pm at Marshall University's Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

This family oriented show will be presented in two acts: "Performers In Motion" and "Disney Magic."

The Review will showcase the current Elite students. Guest Artists, both local and travelling from Pittsburgh, Penn., and Washington, DC, will perform in the Review as well.

Guest Artist vocalists include favorites Chris Sizemore and Ryan Hardiman. Sizemore recently toured with Roald Dahl's "Willy Wonka" (National Tour) Kennedy Center production and Hardiman dazzled tri-state audiences in his roles as the Beast in the Huntington Outdoor Theatre production of "Disney's Beauty And The Beast" and Berger in Marshall University Theatre's production of "HAIR." Guest Artist dance performers include Danielle Scanlon, Travis Layman and Laura Ptakowski all from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Penn., and former students of Elite Owner/Instructor, Marlo Shaver Wentz. Desiree Hall is a current triple threat student of Marlo Shaver Wentz and is from Washington, DC. Desiree has performed with Debbie Allen at the Kennedy Center and with the Kirov Ballet Company and currently travels from the DC area to Huntington on a regular basis to train with Marlo Shaver Wentz.

Ticket cost is $12.00 and are now on sale at the Marshall University box office. You can order tickets weekdays from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. and on Sunday beginning at 12:30 p.m.
