| REPLAY Starring Role: PASMT Grad., Cassie Okenka, sits down with Stage Door and tells us how she went from the local stage, to appearing in Broadway's School of Rock, Bonnie and Clyde, and Wicked | 08 Dec 2023 | 00:50:21 | |
Cassie Okenka is a performing artist, teacher, and life enthusiast. She recently appeared on Broadway in SCHOOL OF ROCK after making her Broadway debut in BONNIE AND CLYDE. She has played to critical acclaim in the national tours of WICKED and THE WIZARD OF OZ. A Toledo native, Cassie earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre from The Baldwin Wallace College – Conservatory of Music. TV audiences will recognize Cassie as a finalist on MTV’s “Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods”. She has been profiled and performed on “Good Morning America” and “The Martha Stewart Show”. Cassie guest starred with the Toledo Symphonic Band’s Music Under the Stars and has sung “The Star-Spangled Banner” at numerous MLB stadiums. She has voiced music for the web series “Invaders” and has recorded with Ben Morss’s band Onward Chariots In addition to her theatrical endeavors, Cassie shares her passion for the performing arts through master classes and private voice lessons. She is currently an Adjunct Voice Instructor at Marymount Manhattan College in their Musical Theatre department and a founding member of Theatre Horizon’s 42nd to Main St. Concert Series. She resides in Brooklyn with her husband and her rescue dog, Bandit. https://www.cassieokenka.com Cassie Okenka Voice Studio https://voice.cassieokenka.com I was bitten by the Musical Theatre bug in 3rd grade. My first show was Annie Warbucks where I played the littlest orphan Molly. My voice education started in middle school with private voice lessons to enhance my musical theatre love. This blossomed into a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre from Baldwin Wallace College-Conservatory of Music. I continued to specialize in Commercial Contemporary Music with the Voice Teacher Training Certification from New York Vocal Coaching while performing 8 shows a week in School of Rock on Broadway. Continuing the quest for knowledge, I hold a Certificate of Distinction in Vocal Pedagogy from Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Recently, I’ve attended levels I, II, and III Somatic Voicework™, The LoVetri Method. These programs gave me tools for vocal injury prevention and functional cross-training. As a member of the NATS, PAVA, MTEA, and The Lessac Institute, I’ve mentored with Bel Canto Can Belto’s Mary Saunders-Barton, Complete Vocal Fitness’ Claudia Friedlander, and Soul Ingredient’s creator Trineice Robinson-Martin. My continuing education include masterclasses with Matt Edwards, Amanda Flynn, and The Singing Athlete’s Andrew Byrne. But a voice without acting is just…boring! During repertoire work, I add in Laban techniques and Viewpoints to help singers create a fully realized piece. Outside of the Private Voice studio, I am an adjunct Voice Instructor at Marymount Manhattan College and University of Wisconsin- Parkside in their Musical Theatre departments. I also teach masterclasses for various NYC Broadway based organization’s including Broadway Workshop, Broadway Classroom, and all over the country with local theatre programs. I made my directorial debut with the premiere of THE ADDAMS FAMILY Younger@Part Pilot Workshop.

Peter and the Starcatcher: Brian, Savanah, and Jordan, had to put up with a sick, grumpy, and confused Kyle tonight as they talked about The Village Theatre’s upcoming production of Peter and the Starcatcher. Their patience should earn them some kind of medal. PETER AND THE STAR CATCHER June 2nd - 11th The Village Players Theatre "A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's best-selling novels, Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old tale of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair...and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love."

International Theatre Production: A lot happens behind the scenes in live theatre. Without scenery, lighting, props, costumes and more – there’s no magic on stage. With a BFA in international theatre production, you’ll get behind the magic. We had a GREAT conversation with Ohio Northern Technical Director, Brian Phillips. He educated us on their BFA International Theatre Production, degree. If you have even the smallest interest in working backstage professionally, you'll need to listen to this episode.
@onutheatrearts @ohioNorthern A unique program focuses on theatrical design, production and stage management – in the U.S. and internationally. You’ll graduate with a solid knowledge of the cultural and practical differences in theatre production, which will prepare you for a wide range of careers in theatre, opera and touring productions. We may be small, but our opportunities are big. In fact, our theatre program rivals what you’d find at a conservatory. Our international theatre production students stage dozens of campus and community productions. They interact with renowned designers, directors, playwrights and choreographers from the U.S. and countries like Scotland, Estonia, Ireland, Mexico and England. They travel each year to the United States Institute of Theatre Technology conference so our students can make contacts with employers and companies from all over the United States. They land incredible internships with theatre companies, and they study abroad. Here, you’ll be part of a family. You’ll enjoy small class sizes and amazing friendships. Our distinguished professors will bring out the best in you from the moment you arrive on campus until you graduate. They will become personally invested in your success. On campus, you’ll study and work in top-notch facilities with the latest equipment. The Freed Center for the Performing Arts includes a 550-seat proscenium theatre, a 132-seat studio theatre, rehearsal rooms, scenic and costume shops, smart classrooms, computer lab and design studio. #OhioNorthernMusicalTheater, #OhioNorthernUniversity #ONU #TheatreTech #InternationalTheatreTech #TheatreProductions #InternationalTheaterProductions #TheaterLife #TheatreBackstage, #StageManager #TechnicalDirector | |||
