Tear Down The Wall Performance and Production Opportunites for Kids!
As one of the charters of our mission, Artists Alive seeks to actively involve and engage kids in the performance and production of Tear Down The Wall. Each show features local kids dancing and working as stagehands to build and tear down The Wall. In addition, we offer performance opportunities for local kids as actors. We're so proud to have Jenna Moilanen, a Reedsburg High School senior, as a member of the band. She's become a key part of our amazing trio of background singers while gaining invaluable experience in large-scale concert productions. We are so honored to have the talents of all of these kids!

Her album is gaining attention daily and has enjoyed positive reviews in multiple publications. Kari is now busy playing shows all over Minnesota and Wisconsin to support her new album.

Terra Kauffman's Debut CD First Step - 2013
Our first project was an easy choice. When we first saw Terra, we recognized a young, talented musician who could benefit from working with some of our talented artists. After working together, it became clear that we needed to help Terra create her first original project. Terra's talent coupled with the talents of our resident artists produced Terra's first all-original CD project.
Shawndell Marks, one of our extraordinarily talented resident musicians, donated many hours of songwriting instruction as well as her arranging, vocal and piano skills to the project. Other resident musicians include Chris Mittlesteadt and Isaac Mittlesteadt. All photography for the project was donated by Angie Purcell and graphic design was donated by Carol Kubrican. Artists Alive, Inc. funded the production of Terra Kauffman's debut CD - The First Step.
Terra's project is a shining example of what Artists Alive, Inc. is about. We strive to identify and develop musical talent in order to propel it into the world with as much momentum as possible. Good luck, Terra! We're proud of your work!
