[NABS-L] Looking For Students Participating In Theater, musicals, etc

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Amanda:

Though I haven't acted in a theatrical production in some time, I'm a
musician and would love to help in any way I can. Please send me an email
off-list if you want to chat.

Also, have you gotten in touch with our Performing Arts Division and/or our
Blind Musicians Group? Both organizations have a number of members who have
performed at all levels of musical theatre, from amateur to professional.
For your purposes, I'm thinking particularly of Julie McGinnity, Katelyn
MacIntyre and Leslie Hamric. I'm the Co-Chair of the Musicians Group, so I
would love to connect you. Please write me off-list so we can continue the
conversation.

Happy performing,

Chris

Hi Elizabeth,
Wow that is amazing! Have you fulfilled all of these roles in productions
with sighted cast members? Do you have low vision or are you blind? I have
light perception and am interested in acting, but cannot make the call. I
hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Amanda
