Good luck to Joelle who today embarks on a 2 week adventure to Hollywood to take part in Camp Electric Youth. Camp Electric Youth is a theater/acting/singing camp for children. It was started by Deborah Gibson and features celebrity instructors Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Howard Fine, Cynthia Bain of course Deborah Gibson(and others).
Joelle got the theater bug started in a BIG way when she auditioned for a role on the "King and I" at the Ogunquit Playhouse last summer. She landed a role as one of the King's children and got to work with the likes of Lorenzo Lamas and Rachel de Benedet. It was an exciting time for all of us. As a side note she will be working with Lorenzo Lamas once again, he is a guest instructor at CEY.
Since then she has been in 2 more plays. HONK! and Treasure Island (both at the Seacoast Rep Theater).
A few months back she sent in an audition video(s) to Camp Electric Youth and was chosen to be one of the children in this years camp. She also received a partial scholarship.
Although I am going to miss her for next 2 weeks I am very happy for her to be able to take part in this chance of a lifetime. Good Luck Joelle and break a leg!!

Joelle
