LEVELS TEENS IN THE NEWS:


NIKKI BLONSKY (above) was nominated for a 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her role as Tracy Turnblad in the motion picture musical Hairspray. Levels theatre audiences will remember Nikki as Meredith Parker in Bat Boy: The Musical, Margaret Mead in Hair and as the Queen of Hearts (below) in Alice in Wonderland.



ANDREW BLUM's documentary Colorblind won its division at the Boston International Film Festival, and the Long Island Film Festival. Colorblind is an examination of how high school students today interpret the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., featuring music by jazz legend Wynton Marsalis. Andrew (below) has been a mainstay of Levels' video program for years, directed Mirror, the first Levels horror movie, and appeared onstage in Company and Prelude to a Kiss.



ERICA KAYA HILL (below, left) performed in Hope & Anchor, a dance/theatre piece sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and performed at New York City's South Street Seaport. The piece was choreographed by Keely Garfield and Levels' dance coordinator Zach Morris, and featured original music by Levels' music coordinator Kris Bauman (below, right) and a mermaid designed by Levels' resident puppeteer Barry Weil. Erica's career at Levels stretches back to Godspell in 2002. Most recently, she directed our 2007 Spring Musical, Gypsy, and played the Acid Queen in our 2007 Summer Musical, The Who's Tommy.

Brothers DAVID LEVINSON (upper photo, applying makeup to play the Emcee in Levels' Cabaret) & DANIEL LEVINSON (lower photo, performing in Levels' Ourglass) took their production of Charles Ludlam's two-man comedy The Mystery of Irma Vep to the Bank Street Theatre in NYC. They played all six roles and produced the production, which featured a production staff full of Levels veterans like Robert DiGiovanni, Samantha Skow and Daniel Holzberg. David and Dan both got their start at Levels in 2000's The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and have since been involved in countless Levels productions together, including Company, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Rocky Horror Show, Bang Bang You're Dead -- and Irma Vep, which began as a Levels "Next Stage" Production! Most recently, David completed an original musical, Sacred Hearts, and composed music for the one-man puppet piece The Boy Who Wanted to be a Robot, directed, designed and performed by Levels' assistant director Barry Weil.
