Gotta Dance!
Phil LaBella ’03,
B.S. (cum laude), dance and business
For Felix "Phil" LaBella '03, there's just no business like
show business. The New Hartford, N.Y., resident started dance
lessons at the age of five and barely paused for breath, racking
up awards in competitive dance as a high-schooler. At Skidmore
he used a double major in dance and business to refine his performing
technique and acquire new management skills--a combination he
hopes will lead to careers in performance and theater administration.
His goal? Broadway. "I'm going to get there," he vows. (more)

Stagecraft
Andy Tyson ’03, B.A. (cum laude), Spanish and music
Andrew Tyson '03 is in his element onstage, which is where he
spent a lot of time last spring, readying his new musical, Implications
of Dinner . And his new musical really is his --Tyson
wrote the script (based on a bittersweet experience of his own),
composed score and lyrics, directed and produced, and even played
keyboard for the show's three performances in April. An impressive
achievement, especially since Tyson did it not for the academic
credit he garnered but because he really wanted to. (more)
