YOUNG PERFORMERS FIND WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY O n Oct. 19, the SAG-AFTRA New York Young Performers Committee, co-chaired by Lee Bryant, Holter Graham and Alan Simon, hosted A World Of Opportunity: Young Performers Career Workshop. The event, funded by a grant from the SAG-Producers Industry Advancement & Cooperative Fund and co-hosted by Actors' Equity Association's Young Performers Committee, took place at Equity's New York headquarters. The day's events focused on the many skills young performers learn as working professionals that can be translated to careers both in and out of the entertainment industry. Young performer participants created a list of skills and put together a presentation of the many careers to which those skills can be transferred, including playwright and president of the United States. The workshop also included an informational seminar on New York State's child performer regulations and an industry career panel with speakers from The Broadway League's Broadway Speakers Bureau. Panelists included Ken Waissman, producer of the original Broadway production of Grease; general manager and former child performer Steven Chaikelson; and Jennifer Ashley Tepper, director of programming at 54 Below.
