Former kidsActing student brings her theater company to perform at
Center Stage Texas
|
Andrea Gastelum, right, performs with the Mudlark Puppeteers  |
"Pandora" Andrea Gastelum was born and raised in Austin, TX. Her first
appearance on stage was in kidsActing's musical, The Velveteen Rabbit.
Miss Gastelum played Raggedy Ann and had a solo in a group number she
still remembers. She was seven years old at the time. The experience set
her on her life path. Miss Gastelum attended classes at kidsActing for
eight years. In that time she performed in several musicals including
the original productions of Monsters; Bugs; and Goldie, A Fish Story. Andrea performed at kidsActing with much our current staff including Jenny Foust, Kirk German and Jazmine Miller. As
an older teen she eventually went on to assistant teach at the studio.
The skills, self- confidence and inspiration Miss Gastelum acquired at kidsActing equipped her for a life in the world of professional theatre.
She went on to graduate with honors from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts
with a BFA in Theatre and has performed as an actor and puppeteer the
world over. She now owns and operates The Mudlark Public Theatre in New
Orleans and is the Artistic Director of that space's resident
company as well as The Black Forest Fancies.
kidsActing is proud to welcome Andrea back to Center Stage Texas as her company presents The Six Swans and The Nightingale this Thursday and Friday. Please scroll down to our list of events for more details.

The Emperor's palace and garden are the most magnificent in the
world, but of the many wonders in his vast empire, the nightingale is
best of all. The emperor never leaves his throne, so heavy is he with
his own importance, so he has never heard the beloved voice of the
little bird. The nightingale is summoned to the palace to please the
Emperor, but can nature's beauty thrive in a gilded cage at court?

Waking Sleeping Beauty
Center Stage Texas
August 6-15
Ever wonder what really caused a fairy to put an evil spell on
Sleeping Beauty? This musical takes a look back to ancient times, when
fairies lived in harmony with people. But even then, teenagers, both
fairies and people, needed to rebell against their parents. Fairy magic
meets movie magic when the story moves forward to the present; a movie
company rents an old dilapidated castle and in the process of shooting a
film, encounter a secret room with a sleeping princess. award winning
original songs by professional Texas stars including Jerry Jeff Walker,
Django Walker, Sara Hickman and more!
