Musical theater and voice actor Major Attaway conducted a masterclass for performing arts students.His roles include the character "Genie" in Disney's Broadway version of Aladdin.He has also voiced more than 30 characters in anime, video games, museum exhibits and more.
He says it is important to give back, especially in the school district where he gained confidence in himself. "I’m big on interacting with people and networking, it’s a huge thing. I told these kids today we’re helping you, not audition for the role, but to audition for the room. And not just the room you’re in that day, but so your confidence makes space for you in other rooms coming forward," said Attaway.
During the class Attaway taught theater students from Arlington Heights High and I.M. Terrell High School.Attaway was inducted into Fort Worth ISD's Wall of Fame in 2019 and received the Irma P. Hall Medal for Illumination in 2018.
