During his visit to Sheehy Theater, he coached the kids on how to tell a story through singing, acting, and body language. He provided concrete advice on technique and character, and reminded the kids to be confident and to embrace their amazing talents.
"It was a great afternoon of fun and music for the students," says Buckley. "We hope they'll now take this with them in their performance this fall of A Midsummer Night's Dream and this spring in Grease!"
