WELCOME TO HMS THEATRE

BROADWAY & BEYOND WITH PETER SKYLAR-
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 6PM- HMS AUDITORIUM


FREE LECTURE: “BROADWAY & BEYOND” Honest life and career advice for aspiring young performers & their parents
​
Renowned New York Talent Scout Peter Sklar knows a thing or two about helping aspiring child stars achieve success. His list of protégés includes TV and film veterans Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon, Mischa Barton, as well as a wide array of current Broadway, TV, and film actors, singers and dancers. Reality shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent have springboarded some of the most talented kids in the nation into super stardom. But with so much available talent, what really sets one kid apart from another?
According to Sklar, any career- in or out of the arts- is about two things: self-image and health. He argues that these qualities outweigh looks, training, connections, and even talent, and apply universally. “The people who sit behind the table are trying to decide two things: do they like you, and do they believe you,” Sklar tells young audiences. “If you don’t feel good about yourself mentally or physically, you won’t open up and show us who you really are. When that happens- no matter how smart you are, or what you’ve achieved, or what you look like- we’ve already lost interest.” He sums it up: “It’s about who you are as a human being.”
In “Broadway & Beyond”, a lecture for students and their parents on Tuesday, February 5 th 6:00 pm at Herndon Middle School in Herndon, VA, Sklar will explain why his views are in sync with the needs of top New York and Hollywood agents and casting directors, as well as college admission boards, and job interviewers in virtually all fields.
