Tallahassee’s Young Actors Theater opens one of its most ambitious productions the evening of Friday, July 17. The school edition of Les Miserables<\/em> runs through August 2nd and has some real professional guidance. <\/p>\n

Jillian Gray was on the Broadway National Tour of the play. She’s directing a total of 85 Young Actors performers.<\/p>\n

“It almost didn’t feel like I was working with young performers,” Gray says. “That’s how special this place is and how well taught they are here.”<\/p>\n

Gray is also an old college buddy of Young Actors CEO Sarah Doolin Roy.<\/p>\n

“To watch our students soak up every nugget of wisdom and direction coming straight from the Broadway National Tour and Jillian’s experiences has been extraordinary and been so much fun!”<\/p>\n

Another Broadway veteran, Lindsay Wood Hose, is directing the choreography.<\/p>\n
