And just like that
Shabazz has completed a second year as the Director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Summer
Youth Rep Program and their production of
"Mean Girls".
Over 5 weeks, we were able to teach 30+ talented, motivated and dedicated high school students the art and beauty of theatre.
They worked tirelessly, not only to learn about art and technique, but to prepare a fabulous performance, and find their own humanity in the process.
Shabazz wants to express his deepest gratitude to the production team that dedicated time to create this safe space.
And to those brilliant young artists, may you never forget to focus on "What's Important Now", and without fail and fear, go out and "Tell Your Story"!

After joining a production at the end of the Tech Rehearsal process, 2 days before previews, 4 days before Opening, Shabazz completed the Spring production of "RENT" at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. He even performed as Collins!
To this incredibly supportive and loving cast, Thank You for this experience.
The universe always shows you where it needs you to be, we just have to listen and obey.
ps - never hesitate to contact Shabazz for any
“immediate replacement” needs!

The train has reached its final destination.
“Murder on the Orient Express” at Syracuse Stage has officially closed. The phrase is used often, but this one of Shabazz's favorite productions to be a part of! To reconnect with such skilled and lovely performers and friends, to create art with mystery, and the ability to perform close to home was priceless. Thank you Bob Hupp and Syracuse Stage for the opportunity. To the company and crew, thank you for the laughs and memories.
As Monsieur Bouc would say: “Prepare yourself for the most memorable journey of your entire life!”
