Kupferberg and Baird at Manhattan's Town Hall
Marymount Manhattan College graduates Christine Baird ’15 and Ally Kupferberg ’15 performed alongside other young performers at Manhattan’s Town Hall for the Broadway “Rising Stars” showcase.
As Seen in the Huffington Post - ““Rising Stars,” which just celebrated its ninth year, has become one of the more important portals for newbies knocking on the door. It’s also one of the few annual showcases that is open to the public, along with a small army of agents, talent scouts and other professionals who pack the hall for each show.
They weren’t disappointed last week, when 18 young actors took the stage and got their three to four minutes in the sun, each singing a song from the Walt Disney canon. The performers came from some of New York’s most respected training grounds–like NYU Steinhardt, Cap21, the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, Marymount Manhattan College and Circle in the Square–as well as the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (CCM) and other schools beyond the city. But no matter where they came from, the stakes were uniformly high.” - Josh Getlan, Huffington Post writer
