GC Students Get BSL Stars Ready

Long Island High School for the Arts was proud to partner with its sister school, Nassau BOCES GC Tech, during the Broadway Supports LIHSA event. At this exciting gathering, GC Tech Cosmetology students played a vital role behind the scenes, providing hair and makeup assistance to both Broadway performers and LIHSA student actors.

The following GC Tech Cosmetology 12th graders were part of the team: Madelyn Alvarenga (Bethpage), Julianna Clemente (Levittown), Madison Goldstein (Plainview-Old Bethpage), and AnnMarie Hazarian (Bethpage). They were accompanied by their teacher assistant, Ms. Jennifer Reichert, who supported them throughout the event.

Reflecting on the opportunity to work with professionals, Julianna Clemente, said, “It was a rewarding experience to express our talents outside the classroom while supporting LIHSA. Receiving feedback from Broadway stars was invaluable, allowing us to take client feedback into consideration and further improve our craft.”

AnnMarie Hazarian also shared, “It was an incredible experience to see the Broadway stars work in a smaller setting. The cosmetology experience taught us how to be prepared and professional when working with real clients.”
