Benefit Concert Stars: Sarah Hayes and Eric Newfeld

   Our next announced performers for All Grown Up: A Benefit Concert are two talented college students who will team up to reprise one of their last roles on stage in Huntington.


   Sarah Hayes and Eric Newfeld last worked together in the First Stage production of Into the Woods, and they’ll reprise one of their songs from that show in the concert which will take the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.

   Sarah (who will also present a dance in the show) is a junior at Radford University. She’s a dance major with a theater minor and has worked professionally as an actress/dancer the last two summers at WV Public Theatre (Sillibub in CATS) and Theatre West Virginia (Hatfields and McCoys / Honey in the Rock / Rocket Boys - The Musical). Next month Sarah will be performing again in The Choreographers Canvas in NYC for the Bob Boross Freestyle Jazz Company.

   Eric is a junior at Marshall, recently returned to Huntington from Washington University in St. Louis. While in St. Louis, he performed in a Jewish a cappella group called Staam and played varied roles in school plays, including Jimmy Harper in Reefer Madness and Corny Collins in Hairspray.

They'll join Laura LaCara, J.T. Walker, Mary Ellen Wolfe-Nielsen, Kathryn Davis and the rest of the cast (to be announced) in the Benefit Concert.

Tickets for the concert are now available - they're $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, and are on sale at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena box office, or by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000, or online at http://www.ticketmaster.com/.
