Hakiem Porter from Harlem participates in TADA! Resident Youth Ensemble and encourages Harlem youth to audition. He attends Talent Unlimited High School in Manhattan and performed in the TADA! the musical production of The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood. Hakiem says, “Theater lets me escape my daily troubles. TADA! puts a smile on my face. I want to pursue theater as a potential career. Theater lets me speak up and have a voice. It teaches you how to respect yourself and how to gain confidence in yourself.” The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood music is by Jule Styne, lyrics are by Bob Merrill, and the book is by Robert Emmett. TADA! was the first company to perform this musical on stage. It was originally produced as a TV special in 1965 featuring Liza Minnelli, Cyril Richard, and Vic Damone.
