Kash Stevenson

Grade: 7 

Started with SA in: Grade 7 (first year)

Future plans: “I want to be a fashion stylist and style other people, and I also want to go into professional musical theater.”

Role model: “Both of my parents as well as a lot of my family.”

Favorite thing about SA: “The academic part. It’s more challenging than my old school, and I really like the challenge. Plus, the teachers try to include games and activities into our classes instead of just telling you the information.”

Spotlight: As the lead role of Prince Eric in the Middle School musical, The Little Mermaid Jr., Kash was able to showcase his acting, singing, and dancing talents – singing being his favorite. Though he’s new to SA, this wasn’t his first performance. Last year, as a sixth grader, he landed a part in his prior district’s high school musical, Freaky Friday. An outgoing and animated young man, he first caught the acting bug when his godmother saw a Facebook ad for an open call for a talent agent. She and Kash persuaded his parents to allow him to give it a try. A series of call backs led him to California where he was assigned to an acting agent who also worked with Nickelodeon, Disney, and dancers in music videos. He has gone through a “pilot season” on the West Coast, and returned east where he made it to the final two for a role in a Broadway production of The Lion King, only to receive the heartbreaking news that he was too young to tour. Kash also enjoys modeling and playing football – he was on two championship teams prior to making the move to SA.
