New Paradigm Theatre Company is proud to announce their new youth-led web series: Konversations with Keeme! debuting on broadwayworld.com

The New Paradigm Theatre Company (NPT) is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to fostering young leaders through arts education and productions. One of their young leaders is thirteen year old Bridgeport youth, Ajibola Tajudeen, but you can call him Keeme. Keeme is the host of NPT’s brand new web series debuting on BroadwayWorld.com.
In this weekly web series Keeme interviews seasoned professionals from Broadway, television, and film such as Tamara Tunie of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Scott Bryce of As the World Turns, Christine Dwyer of Wicked and Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert, and many more. On the show, they will “ask stuff and make stuff” and Keeme will receive insight into their careers and gain advice on how to be a leader, all the while, “making stuff” with the guest, like cookies, picture frames, and other crafts.
The web series is entirely youth-produced with Keeme in front of the camera and sixteen year old Jaden Bonfetti, from Milford, behind the camera, directing and editing. The title song and logo were also created by youth from NPT. All these students are on NPT’s Youth Board of directors. These trailblazers are guided by NPT Artistic Director and Broadway veteran Kristin Huffman as their producer who helped them gain a spot on the popular broadwayworld.com platform as a featured weekly series. Each new five minute interview will come out on Wednesdays. This week’s debut was with Emmy-nominated, Scott Bryce who is also directing NPT’s summer production of Hunchback of Notre Dame at Fairfield Theatre Co. Click hereto be directed to the first interview.
About the series, Jaden Bonfietti says, “It’s so fun and helpful to meet all these professionals and not only hear stories about what they do, but to learn about leadership from them. I never really edited the way I do in the videos before Konversations with Keeme, but it’s cool that I can express Keeme’s style and personality through the edits and graphics as well as putting a tiny bit of my style into it as well.”
Keeme says about the series concept, “Just to be able to give other young people the advice others have to pay hundreds for, for free, is a feeling that nothing can replace. I hope they learn something new in every show!”.
The series will be debuting and streaming on BroadwayWorld.com as part of their Education series with and will have a new interview each Wednesday.
