Growing up and wondering if one should become an actor or a musician is a memory that is shared by a rather large number of people. Most kids think about it for a little while in their search for what to want to be when they grow up, and some kids never grow up and get to be the artists that others dream of. When the first version of “Fame” came out in the theaters, there were thousands of people who were suddenly vindicated in seeing their own stories on the screen.

It didn’t only appeal to teenagers and adults who had attended performing arts schools, because at the time, there were very few, including the high school the movie was based on. This was called PA, and is now folded back into the school La Guardia Arts in New York City . It still functions today, and has a rather high reputation for turning out the next generation of highly trained performers. Visitors to New York can see the school, as well as the site that the film was based on, and there are a number of other excellent arts schools in New York that meet the needs of different populations.

Some of these are for youth and teenagers, and the others are for adults. As it might be expected, New York City has some of the finest universities for acting and music in the world. Many great hotels in New York are close enough to Tisch to visit, and there are plenty of familiar landmarks here that most people have seen in films and television long before they see them in person. Of all the arts schools in the city, Julliard could very well be the oldest. It was founded by the godson of Franz Liszt, Dr. Frank Damrosch, in 1905, so that students of music in the city could have a formal education in classical music without having to move to Europe.

The schools here have vision, and have visionaries in the past and at the present, working to bring out the visionary in today’s upcoming talents. The dream of pursuing this difficult life did not begin with the film, but it has certainly helped to bring visibility to the thriving artistic life available in the city.
