Grand Avenue welcomed back former students who imparted words of wisdom
on the Drama Club and other school extracurriculars. Biscaydence,
University of Miami's a capella group who just came in second at
Nationals, stopped by to perform for current students. The Drama Club
and Grand Voices were treated to pop hits in the style of Pentatonix.
Biscaydence is currently spearheaded by Steven Alexander, a 2013
graduate of Grand Avenue who is now attending University of Miami for a
degree in music education. Another former Drama member, Richie Jackson,
is now a Tony-nominated Broadway producer for his work on Harvey
Fierstein's Torch Song. Mr. Jackson recalled his Grand Avenue memories
from 40 years prior with that club and the newly-formed Gay Straight
Alliance. His play will compete for the Tony this June. Lots of Grand
Avenue alumni doing big things!
