When high schools shuttered across the country this spring, it deprived a lot of aspiring actors of their moments in the spotlight. WCPN gave a few of them a chance to share their big musical numbers.

The performances are brilliant, funny, heart-wrenching and most of all, honest. For instance, Revere High School graduating senior Julia Scott sent in her sassy dragon performance from the canceled production of “Shrek the Musical.” Mayfield High School’s Daniel Blum and Minerva High School graduating senior Kyle Hudson are dueling Beasts from two different “Beauty and the Beast” productions that never took the stage.

This show is such a beautiful story and is worth telling. I enjoyed my character so much because I have been told that I wouldn't be an actress by people and that’s what Diana’s saying in the show and I can relate a lot.Armani Ponder-Keith as Diana in "A Chorus Line" [Akron Firestone High School]This musical is very important to me! Not only was it a complete blast to work on, but the role of Shrek reminds me of my school struggles .

Julia Scott as the Narrator in 2019 Revere High School production of "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" [Bunny Oldham]This song to me means, if you love someone or something so much, you can't live without them, just like I can't live without music! Anyone can sing, hopefully watching this video can inspire you to find your voice! My main goal is to be the thing that inspires people to pursue their goals, hopefully this made your day!Kyle Hudson, Minerva High School...

At our last rehearsal for “Mamma Mia,” the day the governor announced the first block of school cancellations, we were able to fit in a hurried run-through of the entire production. As I sang through “The Winner Takes It All,” it dawned on me that the “winner” in this case might be the coronavirus, coming to take away all that I had spent my entire high school career building towards.

WCPN These aspiring actors being deprived of their moment in the spotlight is a good thing. I'm seeing from theatres everywhere that theatre is, apparently, a hot-bed of racism. (Playbill is all over it.) These kids shouldn't want to be a part of it. It should probably be shut down.

WCPN Practice your vocals. Any scale any pitch. Solfège style. You can practice your singing anywhere you want...

WCPN They get paid well too!

WCPN Well they can act at the protests!
