Local dancers and performers have a new place to go in Merrick.

“We’re going to bring Manhattan teachers to Long Island,” Silverstein said. “We have a dance teacher that comes from STEPS in Manhattan. For voice, they’re all very qualified, and either performed near or off Broadway.”
Silverstein also added that there will be shows put on at Rising Stars, and there will be an auditioning process. There will be full-blown musicals at the location as well.

Bless you, Anthony. And though I know ultimately the "Judge" will have to be held…Read More accountable by a higher authority...those of us who do this work, have not forgotten nor will we allow the system to forget what her role in this travesity was.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact this…Read More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
