Meet Lourds Lane who wrote and stars in the musical, SuperYou. Not only will a concert of the show be performed at Carnegie Hall, Lane is also helping others find their valor.
Produced by Melissa M. Jones and All Awesome LLC and held at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall, the concerts are presented by Jan Warner and The SuperYou FUNdation, a 5013c also created by Lane. Like the show, the organization is devoted to inspiring young people and adults to step into their most empowered superhero selves through music, performance, and art. The non-profit doesn’t just empower youth. “We remind adults of their superhero awesomeness as well,” she says.
I was never the cool kid. Even today when I look in the mirror, I still see that nerdy kid. I was one of the only BIPOC kids in my school, with glasses, and braces and braids, who didn’t fit in. I felt like such an outcast that I didn’t speak much. So, I was placed in remedial classes, which made my Filipino tiger mom’s brain short circuit. She complained to the school and had me tested, which ultimately led me to skipping a grade.
Brunner: When the Off-Broadway premiere of SuperYou was shelved by the pandemic in March 2020, what inspired you to be able to safely have socially distant concerts that summer?The weather was getting warmer and the news of people gathering outside was being recognized as much safer. I saw a photo in the paper of people gathering in a Brooklyn park where they outlined boxes for those in separate groups to congregate. It looked fantastic.
