DREXEL HILL'S CASSIDY ELSE WINS 'VOCALIST JUNIOR 2018' AT THE MEDIA THEATRE


Wayne, PA, has a rising star in Cassidy Else. The 13 year old, who sings as if she is already a veteran of the Broadway stage, won the “Vocalist Junior 2018” title at The Media Theatre on Sunday night August 5.

During the five week Junior competition, she chose songs from well known---and some not so well known---Broadway musicals. She showcased her vocal range from ‘belting’ to ‘smooth’, winning over both the audience and the judges.

She will be attending Radnor High School as a ninth grader this year. “Now that I have won, I hope to continue to perform in more shows,” she said. “Maybe here at Media or at other theaters in the area.”

Cassidy has performed at The Media Theatre in the past, most recently as Veronica in “Heathers, The Musical: High School Edition” this summer, and as the lead role in “The Princess And The Pea” this past winter. She has also enjoyed performing on the Swarthmore Players Club stage in “The Little Mermaid”.

During her school years, she was in middle school chorus, the girls’ ensemble, and also performed in the school plays. She hopes to have the same involvement now that she is moving into high school. “I realized I was made for the stage when I was seven years old,” she explained. “Being on stage allows you to really express yourself and it is a great feeling to do what you love to do.”

The summer singing contest was created by The Media Theatre’s Artistic Director Jesse Cline ten years ago to highlight the importance of music education and theatre training. For five weeks, the contestants had the opportunity to perform in front of large audiences on the professional theatre stage while they were being adjudicated by a rotating panel of judges from week to week, with Cline being the one constant judge throughout the competition.

The 2018 runner-up was Mary Kate Vink of West Chester. Charlie Carroccio, of Newtown Square, gained third place. 

Educational opportunities continue at The Media Theatre this fall with Acting Classes for children, tweens, teens, and adults. For more information, call 610-891-0100 or visit mediatheatre.org

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC(www.ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
