WWAC invites one and all to 'Catch Rising Stars'
Two Baldwin Wallace University Music Theatre seniors will perform at Westlake Porter Public Library, 27333 Center Ridge Road, on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. In keeping with its over-35-year history, the Westlake-Westshore Arts Council sponsors this concert of talented, trained performers, free to the community.
The talented BW students, who will perform highlights from their senior recitals, are Lauren Senden and Noah Wohlsen.
Senden loved singing from an early age and began publicly singing in her church and in local theatre productions. Her passion for both music theatre and opera drew Senden to BW. A Minnesota native, Senden lists some of her favorite roles as, Ariel in "The Little Mermaid," Maria in "The Sound of Music" and Baker’s Wife in "Into the Woods." She took part in the Lotte Lenya competition in New York and received honors from the Young Arts Foundation for both singing and acting. Senden plans to move to New York following her BW graduation in May.
Wohlsen, who is from New Jersey, also was lured to Baldwin Wallace Music Theatre. His recent credits include "The Sound of Music" at Blossom Music Center, "The Wild Party" at Baldwin Wallace and "The Wedding Singer" and "State Fair" at the Clinton Area Showboat in Iowa.
The WWAC has a long history of providing multiple and varied art programs free to the community. And though “Catch a Rising Star” will be a taste delight, the WWAC is also providing complimentary refreshments on Feb. 28.
