BWW Exclusive: Konverstation with Keeme and Special Guest Chazz Mendedez

By: May. 25, 2020

Fifteen year old Ajibola Tajudeen, better known as Keeme, is the host of New Paradigm Theatre's web series here on BroadwayWorld. "Konversations with Keeme" is show where Keeme interviews seasoned television and film professionals like Tamara Tunie of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Renee Lawless of Tyler Perry's The Have and the Have Nots, as well as Broadway veterans such as Emmy and Grammy winner, Paul Bogaev, and Broadway pros Christine Dwyer, Kelly Grant, Juwan Crawley and more.

The series follows Keeme's interviews as he receives advice on "the business", performing, and leadership from the pros in the performing arts industry. These interviews produced by NPT's youth crew with editing by Claire Rice and are released weekly on BroadwayWorld.

New Paradigm Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit theatre promoting social responsibility and fostering creative problem solvers, leaders, and global citizens through theatre arts education and productions. This series is one of the ways that NPT features their outstanding Youth Board of directors (all the production and on-camera work is facilitated by our Youth with some guidance from our Pros). Artistic Director and Broadway veteran, Kristin Huffman says, "New Paradigm is a theatre with a social conscience. We produce events and shows that not only entertain with Broadway pros, but that also connect directly to our community and teach youth leadership.

This is an interview with professional stuntman Chazz Mendedez. He's appeared on hundreds of shows, but you wouldn't recognize him as he takes the place of folks like Bruce Willis, tons of folks on Law and Order, and on the TV show Power and the movie Glass.

NPT has moved their annual Gala online and we hope you can join us June 7th at 7pm on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NewParadigmTheatre/ or youtube station. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoPW4CZPsJHavNCah5-Acg
