"Teens make a 'Def' debut on Broadway"
by Walter Dawkins
While their classmates were sleeping through geometry last Wednesday, two student poets from Ossining High School, Faryal Khan, 17, and Chris Barton, 16, were making their Broadway debuts, reading poetry before some of their idols.
Barton, who read a poem he wrote about "faith, who I was meant to be, and who I am now," was introduced to poetry through rap music. So it was a special thrill to attend the interactive session hosted by the cast of "Def Poetry Jam," and even get advice from hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons.

"I should point out that the 'Live' part of the name of Students Live is pronounced with a long 'i,' but it could just as easily be said with a short 'i.' Because here's a program that makes students live and breathe in a way they never did before."

"Broadway Goes to School to Get 'Em Young
A Drive to Turn Children Into Avid Theatergoers"
by Robin Pogrebin
"Broadway producers have made a major turnaround in the last three years," said Amy Weinstein, [president of StudentsLive], which runs Broadway education programs for shows like "Rent" and "Chicago." "There has been such an effort to reach out to young people, I think, because it became very alarming how old the audiences were and producers realized Broadway was becoming an exclusive market."
No research has tracked youngsters who were exposed to theatre in school to see if they became regular theatergoers. But in a 1997 survey by Audience Research and Analysis, a market research firm, 60 percent of Broadway and Off Broadway theatergoers under 25 indicated that their schools had exposed them to the theater.

"Workshop lets teens find their voice on Broadway"
'Rent' actors share stage, experience"
by Jim Beckerman
"Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes/How do you measure, measure a year?" a thousand voices sand in three-part harmony as the students belted out the show's signature song, "Season's of Love" ... For some of the students, most of whom were high school age, "Rent" - and theater itself - was a new experience.

by Naomi Serviss
Doris Smith, one of the three Richmond Hills teachers accompanying the students, praised the teens' maturity and intelligence.  "These kids will gain much from this experience, not only because the play is so entertaining and the actors so talented, but because it underscores the problems they have to deal with daily," she said.
