An exciting new documentary about one of the Alys Stephens Center's pilot education programs has just been released. The doc by UAB students Sarah Johnson and Alyssa Mitchell as part of an ethnographic filmmaking class offered through UAB Digital Community Studies spotlights the Make It Happen Performing Ensemble.
The program, which is offered free to participants, gives high school students an incredible educational and enriching experience. It is made possible through a generous contribution by Jane Stephens Comer.

Here's a little more info on the program:
Through a partnership with "Make it Happen" Performing Ensemble and the Birmingham City Schools, the ASC invites high school students to audition for this performance based program in which students will attend weekly theatre classes and rehearsals that will culminate in the performance entitled, "Extraordinary Americans Who Happen to be…" This performance will be researched, written, and performed by the student participants as part of the ASC Kids' Club series. Additionally, students selected for the ensemble will also participate in the Martin Hames Arts Mentoring Program. Students invited into the program will be required to make a year-long commitment to all practices, performances, and activities associated with the program. Auditions will take place in the early fall. For more details call (205) 934-0862.
