Theater Photography NYC:  RRS “Bar Mitzvah”

Theater Photography NYC: RRS “Bar Mitzvah”

Over the weekend I photographed a special Bar Mitzvah.  Not the usual types of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs I typically photograph.

Yes, there was a party room, cake and even decorated cookies.  But this one wasn’t for a kid turning 13, but instead for a theater company – Riverdale Rising Stars – celebrating 13 years of musical theater.

They brought back alumni (now adults) who started with the program when they were young teens  as well as including current teen cast members.

There was a lot of talent in this special show!  Some deserving to truly be on Broadway.  I hope it happens for them one day!

One of my favorite scenes was when they did a “battle” of the Footloose casts bringing together casts from 2006 and 2013.

There were songs from shows like Hairspray, Rent, Pippin, and West Side Story – just to name a few

You can tell they were all having fun – happy to be reunited and on stage together again.
