FREDERICK, Md., April 7, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Phenomenology, Inc., an innovative production model in the performing arts, is teaming up with Jawan Jackson, star of the hit Broadway musical \u201cAin\u2019t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations,\u201d to encourage high school musical theater students in Frederick, Maryland.<\/p>\n

\"Broadway
\nWith statewide shutdowns across Maryland, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency, many theater students who would have otherwise performed in their high school musicals during the spring semester will be unable to showcase their talent, on stage, this year. As a result, Jeffery Keilholtz, CEO\/Artistic Director of Phenomenology, decided to take action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were encouraged by many Broadway stars who have used their social media platforms to inspire students during the COVID-19 challenge,\u201d said Keilholtz of he and his organization\u2019s Board of Directors, \u201cso we chose to join forces with one of the kindest and most talented musical theater actors on Broadway, to lift the spirts of students who go to school in Frederick County.\u201d<\/p>\n

In cooperation with Jackson, the \u201cAin\u2019t Too Proud\u201d sensation agreed to \u201cbe the audience\u201d for Frederick County high musical theater students, Keilholtz explains. For a set period of time, students are able to post the songs they would have otherwise sung on stage and post them online. In turn, Jackson will view the posts and provide a personalized message of encouragement for those that do.<\/p>\n

Jackson has also agreed to answer questions posed by some of the students in a private email exchange, arranged by Phenomenology. \u201cWe hope to create a safe space for students to still perform, and also provide a mentorship opportunity with one of Broadway\u2019s top performers,\u201d says Keilholtz. \u201cIt\u2019s the least we can do for Frederick County students and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to have a powerhouse like Jawan as a partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Phenomenology
\nNow through April 25, Frederick County high school students can participate when they post a song they sing to their own social media pages and tag Phenomenology or post directly to one of the organization\u2019s social media platforms on Facebook (@phenoart), Twitter (@phenoart) or Instagram (@phenoart2).<\/p>\n
