A Message from Marc Dalio, Area Coordinator of Musical Theatre Studies & Professor of Voice at NJCU:
We celebrate the beauty and spirit of our remarkable students. They are resilient, passionate and still somehow able to share of their immense gifts, even during this time of crisis.
This was a group project, and in addition to our current students, I must gratefully acknowledge our Musical Theatre staff who appear in the video, Christine Marie Heath and John DiPinto, MDT Alumni, Ashley Leone, Shari Gill, Jenna Ravenda, Matthew Bratsch, Ashley Elrod, Kristina Plate and also Isaac Delrosario, Zach Maccini, Dave Battelene and Mike Ravenda, some of whom are also alumni or family of alumni, and all members of my NYSOM Band (The Music of Billy Joel - nysomband.com).
In addition,I must also include our MT Choreographer, Alex Jo Natale, whose family is also responsible for the Joseph F. Natale Commitment to Excellence Scholarship for Musical Theatre.
Most significantly, though, is the work of Paul Gargiulo, who helped tremendously in the creation of this beautiful video. It would have been impossible without him, or the other members of our present and extended NJCU family.
