The show is bursting with youthful energy and has attracted professionals and a handful of hopeful performers to stage the dance classic.
Eeyan Richardson hails from St. Louis and takes on the male lead dancer, Tyrone. He partners with Jordan Harper, Instructor from the Edwardsville YWCA Dance School as Iris. Richardson is a two-time Arts for Life winner, performs with the "Ambassadors of Harmony " and has appeared in numerous theatrical venues in St. Louis.
Both Richardson and Harper have danced since they were young children and were drawn to FAME's script and the characterizations of real life performers who emerged from the famous New York City School for the Performing Arts.
Mary Grace Bruggerman joins them as the ambitious dancer Carmen who learns that a rise to fame often comes with a price tag.
Brianna Busse, Cara Poirot, Cody Johnson, Sawyer Burton and Audra Ray have featured dancing and singer roles with a 20-member ensemble backing up the big production numbers and taking on the scenes from acting and music classes. Kurtis Leible and Samatha Stinson take the lead romantic interest and the roles of Nick and Serena.
