Student Highlight: Trisha Dawn Messick

Trisha Dawn Messick is going to be a high school senior at Murray High School. She is energetic and extremely talkative. When she first started, her pitch wasn't always on, but her energy and her excitement about performing gave her performances a magical edge. It is impossible to not notice Ms. Trisha.

During the last couple of lessons, I noticed that her pitch was much more consistent. In addition, her energy and exuberance were more focused. Undeterred by nerves, she would put on a show--complete with focus, movement, and dynamic choices--every time she sang a song.

I am so impressed with her dedication and how far she has come over the short time I've been working with her. Congratulations Trisha on your amazing work! I'm so excited to see you continue to improve!

A New Beginning

We've had great artists come through the Midvale Main Street Theatre for the past few years, but we created this blog to help highlight how proud we are of the artists who are dedicating time to improving their talents and to help to inform our favorite actors, singers, and patrons of upcoming master classes, opportunities for lessons, and to brag about the developing talents here at the theatre!

So here it is--a new beginning in the middle of the year--in the middle of all the hub bub and the chaos. Nothing new to report--just a general nod at all the good things that are currently happening.

Right now, Holly Evans and I (Eve Speer) are offering voice lessons, acting lessons and guitar lessons for the low rate of $20 for 45 minutes.

I'm so proud of those who have taken the opportunity to take lessons and hone their gifts. It's been wonderful to see them improve. I am excited to use this forum as a means to highlight (embarrass) some of the most hardworking artists here at Midvale Main Street Theatre! Please come visit us often for updates!

We are looking forward to doing a masterclass for voice students in August and we are planning on holding a  week of classes just for young actors in August. Comment below if you'd like any information on upcoming opportunities!

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at RENT! It opens July 19th and runs thru August 4th.
