FORT
SALEM THEATER ANNOUNCES SPECIAL CHILDREN’S
PERFORMANCE
On Saturday, July 7, at 11 AM, Broadway
star and recording artist Neva Small will
present a children’s entertainment
at Fort Salem Theater. Admission is free
for everyone. Neva and Friends will
blend interactive music, puppetry, and
movement in a celebration of self-expression
and summer, designed for ages 3-9, but
accessible to all ages.
Neva will be in Salem performing for the
Grand Opening Weekend of The Cabaret at
Fort Salem Theater. “Two of our supporters
checked out Neva’s website and saw
that she loves performing for kids,” said
Jay Kerr, Artistic Director at the theater, “Their
generous anonymous gift to the community
will fund the show.”
A Broadway veteran by the age of twelve,
Neva Small holds two masters degrees in
education from NYU, including one in Children’s
Television. As an educator, she has used
music and the arts as a cross-discipline
teaching tool from pre-school through twelfth
grade. Her watershed performance role was
as Tevye’s third daughter, Chava,
in the musical film, Fiddler on the
Roof. |

| Rod Ferrone: Tap into
Your Heart |
| |
| Rod Ferrone, world-class
top dancer and entertainer, has performed
to critical acclaim throughout the
planet, wowing his audiences with his
unique blend of tap, physical comedy,
eccentric moves and dazzling hat tricks. Critics
have likened him to Astaire, Cagney
and Chaplain and yet he commands a
presence and style that make him one
of the most inventive and original
hoofers of his generation. Jazz,
hip-hop, pop, Latin, rock’ n’ roll,
classical music – if it’s
got a pulse, he’ll lay down some
rhythmic patterns at breathtaking speed
interspersed with crafty hat tricks
and ultra-smooth moves. Steeped in
the nostalgia of the Golden Age of
Song, Rod's vaudeville song-and-dance
act will remind us that the past is
still alive and thriving! |
