She then appeared in the First National Tour of the biggest show Broadway has ever seen in “The Producers,” followed by the Los Angeles cast with Jason Alexander and Martin Short. The opportunity of a lifetime came when Susan Stroman asked her to join the show on Broadway, with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, where she had the chance to costar as the Swedish secretary, Ulla.

The Susan Chambers School of Theatre Dance is the home studio of the award-winning Susan Chambers Dance Company (SCDC), a pre-professional dance company for students ages 7 through 18. Open auditions for the Company are held each year in May for positions in the upcoming season (July through June). It is these Company members, talented and dedicated, who perform in the two shows, “The Trial of Mother Goose” and “Dancin’ and Singin’ the Night Away ... A Variety Show Spectacular”. They are featured on the following pages.

About The Susan Chambers Dance Company ...

A not-for-profit organization, The Susan Chambers Dance Company exists as a theatrical dance outlet for preprofessional dancers to increase artistic opportunities in the fields of classical ballet, tap, jazz, musical theatre, hip hop, voice, and acting. The Company, under the direction of Susan Chambers, presents the universal language of dance through concerts, lectures, and demonstrations. These performances are presented in theaters, senior citizen’s homes, studios, etc. The Company is unique in its commitment to performing all forms of theatre dance, in addition to classical ballet. Among the many benefits provided by the Company are opportunities for the community to become interested in dance as a profession, as well as the opportunity to become an informed and appreciative audience. Audiences include individuals who would normally not be able to participate and enjoy this dance venue, such as assisted living and senior citizens’ home residents, underprivileged children, and inner city audiences. In turn, the Company is benefited by having these opportunities to perform for live audiences.

Executive Board Susan Chambers...........Artistic Director/Chairman of the Board Michael Fields...............President John Guzowski............. Treasurer Sonya Harrison............... Secretary

“Many thanks to the Executive Board for their inordinate amount of hours dedicated to SCDC.”
