Fame For Kids Reunion 2017 - Parma Press 24 Article

 

 

An Italian article from Parma Press 24 to Promote the Fame For Kids Reunion:

La bellissima cittadina termale in provincia di Parma è diventata la seconda casa degli artisti di “Fame-Saranno famosi” che, proprio al Teatro Nuovo, il 5 dicembre 2015, si esibirono in una memorabile serata da tutto esaurito e che torneranno su quel palco, a scopi benefici, grazie ad una campagna di crowdfunding lanciata sulla piattaforma Eppela.
A 13 giorni dalla scadenza, la campagna di crowdfunding ha superato il traguardo dei 20.000 euro e ha raccolto adesioni da tutto il mondo, in particolare per i pacchetti speciali (quelli che permettono di conoscere da vicino questi straordinari artisti) a testimonianza di una passione mai sopita per il telefilm creato da Christopher Gore, seguito televisivo dell’omonimo film del 1980, di cui, il 18 maggio 1987, dopo 6 entusiasmanti stagioni, andò in onda l’ultima puntata.

È un progetto fortemente voluto dal direttore artistico del Teatro Nuovo di Salsomaggiore Terme, Marco Caronna, che sta curando anche la direzione artistica e la regia dello show. Marco Caronna sarà presente sul palcoscenico dello show per fare da trait d’union tra questi grandi artisti e raccontare al pubblico la storia di “Fame – Saranno Famosi”. Ad accompagnarli dal vivo saranno i Disco Inferno.

A cantare, ballare, trascinare il pubblico, portare avanti il credo del “lottare per raggiungere i propri sogni” saranno sette tra i più amati protagonisti della serie: Coco Hernandez (Erica Gimpel), Doris Schwartz (Valerie Landsburg), Danny Amatullo (Carlo Imperato), Nicole Chapman (Nia Peeples), Bruno Martelli (Lee Curreri), Holly Laird (Cynthia Gibb) e Jesse Velasquez (Jesse Borrego).

Dagli animati corridoi della New York School of the Performing Arts al palco di Salsomaggiore Terme, gli effetti del viaggio del cast di “Fame-Saranno Famosi” arriverà fino a Medellin, in Colombia. Tutto l’utile della “Fame reunion 2017” andrà infatti in beneficenza, a sostegno di 45 bambini abbandonati che hanno trovato accoglienza in una casa-famiglia in Colombia, grazie a Ger Onlus, associazione di volontariato che si occupa di infanzia abbandonata e che ha organizzato la campagna di crownfunding. Ger Onlus segue dal 2009 il Progetto “Ger Children L’Albero” che si occupa di accoglienza di bambini di strada provenienti dalla Comuna 13 di Medellin: l’utile che sarà ricavato dall’Evento Fame Reunion 2017 servirà ad accogliere altri 10 ragazzi nella struttura sottraendoli alla strada, permettendo loro di cominciare a costruire il proprio sogno.

Fame Reunion 2017 In L.A. People Magazine Article

Calling all Fame fans! The cast of the hit ’80s show is reuniting for a 35th anniversary concert — and it’s for a good cause.

Stars Debbie Allen, Jesse Borrego, Cynthia Gibb, Erica Gimpel, Billy Hufsey, Carlo Imperato, Valerie Landsburg and P.R. Paul are scheduled to appear at the event, which will take place at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California, on July 13.

The evening, which marks the first concert in the U.S. by the cast members since 1985, will feature hit songs from the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning drama series — and will benefit The Actors Fund, a national human services organization that focuses on helping individuals in performing arts and entertainment during times of need, crisis or transition. The evening’s musical director is Yaron Spiwak.

“Performing artists have an especially unpredictable life so it is my honor to support The Actors Fund, an organization dedicated to ‘being there’ for us,” Gimpel, who starred as Coco Hernandez on the show, tells PEOPLE.

She continues: “I can’t wait to sing some of my favorite songs from Fame and to celebrate, along with my fellow cast mates, our magical series which has continued to inspire young artists around the world for the last 35 years. This will be an amazing celebration!”

Echoes Landsburg, who plays Doris Schwartz: “I spent four years of my life with these people. I was 22 when we made the pilot, and because 90 percent of it took place in the school, we were together all the time.”

“It was virtually impossible to have not become a kind of family,” she shares. “35 years later we are falling right back into place with each other, singing and dancing and loving each other.”

Adds Gibb, who starred as Holly Laird: “The Actors Fund is so important to performers, whose incomes are inherently inconsistent. Our work comes in waves, which makes planning for the future very difficult. Even for those actors who work regularly, an event such as a strike by any one of our unions can devastate an actor and his family.”

“It is so important that there are safety nets in place to take care of each other during the challenging times,” she explains. “The Actors Fund is one of the most important nets that we can rely upon.”

Among the songs that will be included in the concert are Fame classics including “Out Here On My Own,” “Starmaker,” “Life Is A Celebration” and the famous title song.

Based on the 1980 film of the same name, Fame debuted on NBC in January 1982 and followed the lives of the students and staff at New York City’s High School for the Performing Arts. Following the show’s worldwide success, the cast went on to produce several hit records and perform at sold-out concerts.

Tickets are now on sale at www.actorsfund.org/Fame.
