Reagle Music Theatre is excited to launch its new concert series called UPLIFT! Join us for an evening filled with vibrant music, powerful stories, and Boston favorites! The concert will star award-winning actress Yewande Odetoyinbo and feature up-and-coming artist Lillian Salazar!
The UPLIFT concert series will spotlight various underrepresented artists in the community, giving them a dedicated space to learn from and collaborate with more established artists, develop and hone performance skills, and share their diverse talents and personal experiences with a wide audience.
Everyone deserves the chance to shine. RMT’s UPLIFT concert series will support and represent as many artists of various backgrounds and identities as possible as they bring their stories front and center stage.
Each concert will feature and celebrate two artists: One will be a more established and experienced community member. The other will be an up-and-coming artist who is about to take the theater scene by storm! Together, and in collaboration with Artistic Director Rachel Bertone, these artists will create an entertaining and thought-provoking event.
She can currently be seen playing Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act at Lyric Stage Company. Yewande Odetoyinbo is a performer/choreographer/director originally from Detroit, MI. She is a proud graduate of Howard University, where she earned a BFA in Musical Theatre and became a member of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity. She also has an MFA in Musical Theatre Performance from The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she now teaches senior musical theater. She has worked with many theaters throughout the New England area and the country, including Reagle Music Theatre, Speakeasy Stage, Lyric Stage, Front Porch Arts Collective, American Repertory Theatre, Moonbox Productions, Wheelock Family Theatre, Boston Theatre Company, Goodspeed Opera House, New Repertory Theatre, The Barnstormers Theatre, Fiddlehead Theatre, Bridge Repertory Theatre, Signature Theatre, and American Stage Company. She is an IRNE Award winner and a two-time Elliott Norton Award nominee. It is her lifelong dream not only to perform and teach theater to inner-city youth but also to open up a performing arts school in Nigeria.
Lillian Salazar is thrilled to be a part of the Uplift concert! They are currently a Junior Musical Theatre major at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Some past credits include Lyric Stage Company: Sister Act (u/s Michelle, Tina, Nun), Umbrella Stage Company: Head Over Heels (Mopsa), University of the Arts: Ride The Cyclone (Constance), In The Heights (Vanessa), Beacon Performance Arts Center: Heathers (Heather Chandler). They are extremely grateful for this opportunity and to be working alongside Yewande Odetoyinbo and Rachel Bertone. Special thanks to their family and friends who have continuously supported them throughout the years!
