“Putting yourself on the line means revealing yourself for who you truly are. Taking a stand for what you believe in. Allowing your friends, family and complete strangers the rare opportunity to see amazing possibilities for themselves because of who you are being and what we are all capable of doing. It means being UNSTOPPABLE and FEARLESS! “

It would an amazing opportunity for all of our students to witness the revival of A Chorus Line on Broadway this autumn. Well, the subject matter and mature themes make the material more appropriate for our high school juniors and seniors and university students. The ideals of individual freedom, competitiveness, tolerance, and responsibility are all illuminated in this classic Broadway show from 1975. The creative energies and artistic authenticity found in A Chorus Line provide a compelling story laced with earthy songs that have the flavor and spirit of the middle 1970’s in urban America.
Music and theater provide a limitless forum for teaching many life lessons. Practical lessons, history lessons, lessons in critical thinking, and the lesson of working productively with others to achieve a goal are encompassed in the production of live theater. These essential lessons in education are not contemplated in any part of any piece of legislation or statute.
As one of the world’s greatest settings for collaboration, live theater challenges and educates. The street-wise and salty characters of A Chorus Line bring a cavalcade of emotions as they relate their educational experiences, both good and bad. No character is truly shy and as they reveal the days of their lives, these multi-faceted characters provide useful insights and reminders for teachers in across the spectrum of education. We work with real people.
These rich characters remind us all to listen. Even though our students often lack proper perspective, and while we must provide mentoring and guidance, we must listen to their perceptions of reality in order to address their educational needs. We, as professionals, must guide their thinking and encourage them to use a variety of resources to formulate standards and create values for living.
We never know what our students might remember and present on stage someday. Our influence plays out on the stages of their lives every day. In an age of truncated assessment methods and measurements, the authentic nature of recollections by former students could be a useful tool for all educators striving for professional excellence.
