January 2012 Edition
This Month's Featured Actress:
Taylor Curtis

She's dazzling them in Detroit, this acclaimed actress, high school cheerleading captain and regional diving champion. Taylor Curtis, who is only a few months past her sweet sixteenth birthday, is already poised to portray characters in upcoming roles in both New York and Los Angeles.

Taylor's success story is robust for an actress her age. Perhaps this is a result of the early start she got attending an elementary school for gifted and talented students, or her studying (thanks to a theater scholarship) at the regionally famous Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp every summer.

Maybe it comes about as the result of her first and earliest starring role in the photo book "Big Sister, Little Sister" created by her mother, former Associated Press photojournalist Marci Curtis. Because the book continues to purchased (see below), Taylor's young face (at right on the book's jacket) can already be seen in homes across America.

Or maybe her thespian tendencies were instilled during regular trips with her grandmother to the Shakespeare festivals of Stratford in Ontario, Canada.

After a role in Seussical the Musical over the summer of 2011, Taylor headed for Los Angeles for a starring role in a new vehicle video for the auto web site TheFamilyCar.com, and to audition for a role in an upcoming teen comedy. While in Hollywood, she was caught by paparazzi dining at the bar of the Chateau Marmont with friends and the next day found herself a noted entertainment business affairs attorney.

Taylor's diving expertise has led her to awards. Now she has added a new passion, lacrosse! If you would like more info about Taylor, she asks that you please contact us first.

And while you're thinking about Taylor, you might consider a sister act. Her big sister Skye can be seen on stage at left in the picture below.

December 2011 Edition
This Month's Featured Actress:
Skye Curtis

She played Franz Kafka in the absurdist comedy "All in the Timing" (on stage above left), but even though she had her audiences in the palm of her hand from her first line, it was for her role as the stage manager in "Our Town" that Skye Curtis won the prestigious National Youth Theater Arts Award for best lead actress in a high school play during 2011. In case you're not familiar with this award, it is the same one that Abigail Breslin won before her career skyrocketed.

But winning the National Youth Theater Arts Award has not swelled the head of this gifted and talented actress. She has her focus squarely on completing applications to a dozen colleges, any of which would be lucky to enroll her. And with diverse interests, such as voracious reading and the study of five languages (including French, Chinese, Russian and Romanian), Skye is perfectly suited for the liberal arts degree she is focused on obtaining.

She is also a social activist, recently organizing the protests against anti-gay slurs on the Facebook page of her home town mayor, Troy, Michigan's Tea Partier Janice Daniels. Skye's co-founding of the Troy High School Gay-Straight Alliance, the group that spearheaded the demonstrations, revealed a young woman with a commitment to help change the world for the better. Whether she heads for the stage, the screen, the Peace Corps, or K Street in Washington, Skye's future seems assured to be incandescent.
