Luke Landgraf ’11 is thrilled to be back at Edgewood High School during his favorite week of the year. Since graduating, he attended the CAP21 Musical Theatre Training Program in New York City, and was recently seen in a workshop of Carousel with Broadway actors Leslie Odom Jr. (famed for the musical Hamilton) and Alice Ripley (from Next to Normal and the upcoming American Psycho). Luke will offer a Guest Artist Day presentation on Wednesday, February 24, where he will share with students how he prepares for a musical audition, and what it takes to be an actor living in NYC. He’ll review the different styles of music needed in an actor’s audition book in order to successfully book a musical theatre job. Luke will also give a Wednesday evening workshop on auditioning and vocal performance and will talk about the overall process of preparing to pursue musical theatre.

Brendan Anderson ’13 is currently attending Marquette University where he is majoring in economics and minoring in film. Brendan has a passion for the subject of film and has been giving presentations for the Edgewood Fine Arts week film festival since his sophomore year at EHS. Previous presentations have been about Alfred Hitchcock, Sherlock Holmes, and the history of the action movie genre. This year, he’ll be a Film Festival Day guest on Friday, February 26, presenting Star Wars: Origins of the Force, reviewing mythology and classic films in order to piece together the sources of the blockbuster space saga.  Brendan continues to write a blog where he posts reviews of both current and classic films.
