Alabama School of Fine Arts Theatre Arts senior and YoungArts finalist Melody Dailey will be featured on HBO Broadcast T.V. February 17, at 7:30 p.m. in a documentary filmed last year in San Francisco. Actress and YoungArts Master Teacher Anna Deavere Smith mentors a group of YoungArts alumni, aspiring young artists, in the 19th episode of the twice Emmy-nominated HBO series, “YoungArts MasterClass.”
“YoungArts MasterClass” was created by Executive Producer Lin Arison and filmmakers Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon, a filmmaking team whose work has garnered an Academy Award in 2010 as well as four previous Academy Award nominations, many Emmys and the Dupont-Columbia Award for Independent Programming. In conjunction with Columbia University’s Teachers College, YoungArts also has developed a Study Guide based on its “YoungArts MasterClass” series which is distributed free to schools nationwide to help increase arts education and awareness.
