The Connection

Chantilly’s Emily Price has

c o m ea long way. In 2006, at age 14,she played Dorothy in The Al-liance Theatre’s production of

“The Wizard of Oz.” Now 22, she’s per-forming in the Broadway national tour of“Mamma Mia!”

The hit musical will be at the NationalTheatre in Washington, D.C., March 4-9. Inthe story, a young woman named Sophie isgetting married in Greece. She wants tolearn who her father is, so she invites threeformer suitors of her mother’s to the wed-ding.

“I play Ali, one of Sophie’s best friends,who’s come to the Greek island as a brides-maid,” said Price. “Ali’s quirky, funny andexcited to be reunited with Sophie. I loveit; I get to jump around and have a blastevery night with wonderful performers. Theaudience loves the show — we always geta great reaction.”

Price was drawn to acting as a child. “Iwas shy, so this was a great outlet for me,”she said. “I also fell in love with the idea of

diving into some-one else’s shoesand getting intotheir feelings andlives on stage.”

Her first showwas Alliance’s“Oliver” in 2003,followed by “TheMusic Man” in2004. “I grew upwith [Alliance

founder] Elaine Wilson as my director,” saidPrice. “She allowed the ensemble membersto work together to create something artis-tic. I remember having a lot of fun — it waslike theater camp for me. I was also a coun-selor during their summer production of‘Willy Wonka.’”

Price enjoyed acting so much that, fromage 12 on, she also performed with com-munity-theater companies in Leesburg,Sterling and Reston. In addition, she workedwith the Adventure Theatre, a children’stheater company in Maryland.

The daughter of Cheryl and Jeff Price ofthe Pleasant Valley community, Emily washomeschooled, as were her two youngersiblings, Timothy, 20, and Carolyn, 17. Her

two older brothers, Daniel, 26, and Justin,23, graduated from Westfield High.

Meanwhile, the Adventure Theatre’s ar-tistic director recommended CAP21 (theCollaborative Arts Project in the 21st Cen-tury) to Price. It’s a musical-theater conser-vatory in Manhattan and, after completinghigh school, that’s where she went.

After graduation, she stayed in New YorkCity, worked with an agency and, in Decem-ber 2012, auditioned for “Mamma Mia!” ByJune 2013, she was cast and joinedWorklight Production Co., the show’s Broad-way national tour.

“I was ecstatic, finally getting cast andgetting to work with a bunch of creativepeople,” said Price. “We sing, dance and puton a fun show.”

“Mamma Mia!” opened Oct. 3 in Orlando,Fla., and, since then, has toured from city to

city all over the U.S. and parts of Canada.“We do eight shows a week, so I’ve learnedhow to be consistent and deliver the samequality of performance every time,” said Price.

She said the toughest part is traveling allthe time because she has to decide whatclothing to take with her. She also has tostay fit and healthy because the show en-tails so much dancing.

“But I’ve had a good time,” said Price.“The cast is awesome; everyone gets along,works so hard and puts in 100 percent eachnight. I also like getting the chance to dancemore and I love the fun ’90s costumes weget to wear.”

This show will run until June 15 and willthen head to Bogotá, Colombia in Augustfor three weeks of performances. Enjoyingher life in musical theater, Price’s advice totheater students considering a career in thebusiness is to not be afraid to “put yourselfout there and make bold choices.”

“And if you’re auditioning and not get-ting the parts, then switch it up and trysomething new,” she continued. “Look atyourself and figure out who you are in theindustry. You’re always going to be grow-ing and discovering what you can do andwhere you fit in the arts.”

The Connection

Animals at the Fairfax County Ani-mal Shelter were given the celeb-rity treatment on Feb. 23 when ateam from the non-profit Shelter

Art Foundation taught shelter staff and vol-unteers how to use Hollywood-style portraittechniques to photograph their adoptableanimals.

“We believe that every animal is a celeb-rity. We want to give them the same expo-sure that we would give a budding star inHollywood. We do this because it works.Great portraits get actors and actresses no-ticed and leading roles. We want these ani-mals to get leading roles in new homes,”said Shelter Art Foundation founder SteveSloop after the Sunday workshop.

“We have conducted photo team work-shops at 19 shelters in eight states, enablingthese shelters to build the skills necessary

to show off their stars. All of the shelterswe have worked with have said that thebetter images make a difference,” saidSloop.

“When I was a kid if you wanted an ani-mal, you went to the shelter. And now, ifyou want an animal you go online. If theonline image isn’t beautiful and inviting andsomething you would want to have at yourhouse, you’ll keep clicking until you find it.But when you have that animal that looksat you and grabs your heart, you’ll go intothe shelter. That may not be the one thatyou come home with, but we’ve got you intothe shelter so you can find the one you con-nect with,” said Sloop of the concept thatdrove him to create the Shelter Art Foun-dation.

IN THE PAST YEAR, under the leader-ship of Tawny Hammond, the FairfaxCounty Animal Shelter has implemented amulti-faceted social media campaign to

engage with the community in new waysand to increase adoptions. “A strong pho-tography program coupled with a strategicsocial media program is paramount to suc-cess. With training and attention, we all cando it.”

When the Shelter Art Foundation con-tacted Hammond about hosting a work-shop, she said, “How soon can we do it?”Not only did volunteers from the FairfaxCounty Animal Shelter participate, but rep-resentatives from humane societies in theDistrict of Columbia and MontgomeryCounty, Maryland were also present.

The non-profit Shelter Art Foundationwas founded in 2010 when Sloop realizedthat he and his volunteer photo team at theMonterey SPCA had figured out an easy tolearn, low cost technique that combinedadvanced animal wrangling strategies witha basic studio photography setup. Hefounded the non-profit and started travel-

ing to shelters around the country.“At first, I’d visit a shelter whenever I was

traveling to see family or friends,” saysSloop. In late 2013 he was contacted byPurina to see if support from them wouldenable the Foundation to expand their pro-gram. Once they conduct the workshop,they are able to provide the shelters theyvisit with the equipment needed to set upthe shelter studio at no cost.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 25 shelters inCalifornia, two in Nevada, one in Alabama,one in Louisiana, one in Missouri and onein Virginia scheduled for this spring.

“Our goal is to empower as many shel-ters and rescue organizations as possiblewith the training and equipment they needto improve their images,” says Sloop. Formore information about the organization,go to their website atwww.ShelterArtFoundation.org.

Bianca, a nine-year-old, female,German shepherd mix dog,had been living her life on the

end of a chain in a rural part of Vir-ginia. In late January, an unknownstray dog approached Bianca and at-tacked her. Bianca’s owner came out-side and in an attempt to stop theattack he hit both dogs with a shovel,striking Bianca over the head andinjuring her. Rather than pursue vetcare, the owner drove Bianca to thelocal pound and surrendered her. Forthe next 36 hours, Bianca sat withno medical care, until a sympatheticstaff person called the shelter’s res-cue partner at the Highland CountyHumane Society in rural Virginia.

Highland County Humane Societyrescued Bianca from the pound andgot her emergency medical treat-ment. She was taken to a foster hometo recover and receive further treat-

ment and was transported to theFairfax County Animal Shelter onValentine’s Day. She was made avail-able for adoption and her story wasshared on the shelter’s Facebookpage, where it caught the attentionof a long-time shelter supporter andadopter. The woman’s beloved dogPrincess (adopted from the shelter in1999), died on Valentine’s Day at theage of 18, on the same day thatBianca’s story was posted. She knewthat she was meant to help give poorBianca a second chance. She imme-diately contacted the shelter andmade plans to come and meet Bianca.Bianca went home with her new momon Feb. 19, and she is doing great.

The Connection

Broadway comes to Fairfax with thearrival of actress Candi Boyd, currently appearing on Broadway in the

play, “Jersey Boys.” On Sunday, March 9,she’ll present a musical-theater workshop,“Broadway: Behind the Curtain,” at FairfaxHigh – and it’s open to all area high-schoolstudents.

It’ll run from noon-4:30 p.m. in the audi-torium, with a limited number of spots avail-able. Tickets range from $10-$40, depend-ing on level of participation.

The event’s a fundraiser for Fairfax High’stheater program, and school Theater Direc-tor Erich DiCenzo hopes to make it an an-nual tradition. “It’s a fantastic opportunityfor students to have exposure to professionaland talented artists,” he said. “Anyone withany interest in this field is welcome. Attend-ees don’t have to be theater students.”

Boyd was his college roommate at PointPark University in Pittsburgh — a conserva-tory for performing arts — where they werein three shows to-gether. They also per-formed together in anaward-winning showat Cedar Point, Ohio,and kept in touchover the years.

So, said DiCenzo,“I’ve had unique andspecial experiencesworking in this ca-reer, and I wanted tobring them into the classroom. And I canconnect to my friends — my theater family— in New York and bring a hands-on expe-rience to my students.”

WORKING ONE-ON-ONE with the stu-dents, Boyd will teach them original chore-ography from “Jersey Boys” and coach themthrough songs and monologues. She’ll alsoanswer their questions about what it’s liketo be on Broadway and the auditioning pro-cess.

She and DiCenzo designed the workshoptogether with three levels of tickets. For $10,students can watch her instructing the otherstudents and will be able to ask her ques-tions. For $20, they’ll get to learn the danceand perform it onstage, besides participat-ing in the Q&A session.

For $40 — limited to 24 high-school stu-dents — they’ll do all those things, plus re-ceive individual instruction from Boyd. Thislevel of tickets is only available to non-Fairfax High students. To purchase tickets,go to www.fxplayers.org.

For those who do attend Fairfax, Boyd willwork with and speak to 24 of them from 10

a.m.-noon. That way, the other 24 spots willbe open to students from other high schoolsand/or counties.

Also participating in the workshop willbe Boyd’s husband, Matt Kaitila, the audio/visual technical engineer of the BarclaysCenter in New York, where the 2013 VideoMusic Awards were held.

“It’s exciting that we’ll also have a veryhighly esteemed techie coming in,” saidDiCenzo. “He’ll do a tech talk to tell aboutthe behind-the-scenes world of one of thenation’s most popular and exciting venues.He’s done every concert from PaulMcCartney to Justin Bieber.”

As for Boyd, said DiCenzo, “She’s not onlyperforming on Broadway, but she’s also des-ignated to perform any female role needed

in ‘Jersey Boys’productions inLas Vegas andSouth Africa andon the nationaltour. And she’sdonating her timeaway from theplay to do thisworkshop.” Formore informationabout her, go to

www.candiboyd.com.So, said DiCenzo, “We’re bringing Broad-

way, literally, to Fairfax. We’re giving stu-dents — whether aiming to follow in Mattor Candi’s footsteps or not — the uniqueopportunity to rub elbows with and learnfrom professionals in show business. Andfor those wanting to find a future in thisindustry, this workshop can provide themthe affirmation they need.” Proceeds fromthe event will go toward purchasing newmicrophones for the theater department.“We’re hoping to start with some new micpacks and replace a few headsets for ourstage manager,” said DiCenzo. “Any extrafunds would help supply us with lumberfor sets, plus replace and repair sewing ma-chines [for costumes]. In the future, we’rehoping to add a scrim curtain to our in-credible facility.”

Most of all, he added, “I’m excited to in-troduce these two friends of mine to thecommunity and continue to blend my twoworlds of professional theater experienceand teaching. We’re hoping for a great turn-out in support of, not only Fairfax High, butthe arts in education.”
