2008 NCP MINI STARS
************
Now in their 7th year, the NCP Mini Stars directed by Vaughn Hudspath continue to showcase the height of young talent dazzling audiences with their dedicated and polished performances.  This year, 32 area students ranging in age from 8 to 18 sing and dance their way around the area.  These aspiring stars perform a pop music extravaganza that highlights the music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.  This year, the Mini Stars will perform the creative medley "ON THE RADIO" that will have you singing along and dancing in the aisles!  On a visit to the Playhouse, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell noted that this special brand of musical theater has allowed them to be called: 
"THE GOODWILL AMBASSADORS OF PENNSYLVANIA". 
Director - Vaughn Hudspath
Assistant Director/Choreographier - Jennifer Roe Verba
Student Choreographer - Rosie Jo Neddy
Technical Director - Moulton Ferguson, Jr.
It's never too late to let this song and dance troupe entertain you! To book the Mini Stars for your next event, call Rose Aven at (724) 654-3437 or email the Mini Stars at info@newcastleplayhouse.org
