Salve students perform “Jane Eyre” on Broadway
Preparation and professionalism pay off with a once-in-a-lifetime New York City experience.
On Feb. 15, 25 students from Salve Regina University’s theatre arts program stepped onto a Broadway stage in Lincoln Center to perform "Jane Eyre" as part of a professional ensemble. It’s the third year Salve students, led by theatre arts program coordinator Dr. Tara Brooke Watkins, have been invited to take part in Manhattan Concert Productions’ Broadway series.
While in New York City, the Salve troupe had an opportunity to take in some of the iconic sights and sounds, and shared a photo diary of their experience.
Here are our lanyards and backstage passes for the performance.
After a day of rehearsal, we were able to go see 'Chess' as a group!
We were honored with a reception at the iconic Lotos Club hosted by Salve trustee Jay Sullivan.
At the Museum of Broadway, Bailey Chapin '29, Solanna Colon '29, Lydia Reineke' 29, Portia Murphy '27, Zarabeth Campanella '29, Adam Losquadro '29, George Fotis '27 took a quick shot. It was such a fun experience!
The museum had a model of the set design for 'Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812' — the same show we did in the fall semester!
Stopping at Krispy Kreme for a quick bite before rehearsal were Lydia Reineke, Adam Losquandro, Eve Mayen '29, George Fotis, Bailey Chapin, Ava Bonanno '28 and Kate Gannon '28.
Dr. Tara Brooke Watkins also shared some photos and thoughts
