Music. Dance. Theater. Art. Film making. 

All this can be found at the Hawking School of Arts, where each student fights to be the best and rise to the top. Whatever it takes to do that, the students of Hawking have no problem doing it. And just when it seems it can't get any more competitive, the Next Big Thing Competition is announced. 

Filled with talent agents and famous directors, actors, music producers, and so many more people who could help these students become famous, everyone is fighting to win. However, as they'll find, it's not as easy as it seems. That is, until a film student by the name of Jay Lucas comes up with an idea that he's sure will win, and jump start his career as a famous director. 

Jay decides to film what it's like at Hawking, pulling back all the layers of the students at the school who are competing in the competition, as well as demolishing the idea that an arts school is as glamorous as it seems on TV. But with so many others that are just as talented and even more talented than Jay, does he have what it takes to be the next big thing?

For these twenty-something university students, Empire Burlesque represents freedom. An escape from their summer jobs, mundane lives, and overbearing parents.

A spot in that festival would kick-start a long and lucrative career for any ambitious, young artist. From the heart of a dark, smoky lounge, EMPIRE BURLESQUE describes the journey of five best friends determined to realize their Rockstar dreams, no matter the casualties and despite jealous competition or old friends with hidden agendas. _____ (#1 MusicFestivals. 2021 Punk Rock Awards Winner, Best Supporting Character.)

The two seventeen year olds are connected in their different forms of art in a teenage story filled with drama, sarcasm and loads of creativity. "My drawings are like stick figures compared to anything you draw. You could draw the world's ugliest frog and it will still turn out beautiful. Lucas you're an amazing artist." "So are you." He said quietly, looking up at me with his soft, heartwarming eyes. "How?"I couldn't draw for shit. "Because you are a dancer. Dancing is an art. And you are an amazing dancer."

The Arts by HCAvery

Another school year has begun, which means The Arts: Academy for Creative Performance and Design has a new freshman class. A typical class roster includes kids from all over the state, but a stunning number of new students know each other from the same hometown. There's Andi, the shy songwriter who would give anything for her favorite band to use her work; Kiara, a talented artist from a broken home; Robbie, Tyler, and Matt - former band mates turned bitter enemies; and Ivan, an aspiring filmmaker with a penchant for crude humor. Seriously, how did one small town manage to produce this many artistically gifted teenagers? That's anybody's guess. But what we do know is this: these freshmen have just begun the ride of their lives, and for better or for worse, they're all in it together. Awkward crushes, old (and new) drama, and creative assignments abound, this isn't just high school; this is The Arts.

grade A by thethreemusket3ers

they've known of each other for three years-same hallways, same classes, same friend groups orbiting around each other. but 'knowing of' someone isn't the same as knowing them. rory is blunt. she's a little closed off, and saves her best self for only the people who deserve it. but once you've pushed past that guard, she's full of light. kane is quiet, and humble; but beneath that, he's observant, tentative, kind, and annoyingly hot. senior year throws them together when he starts tutoring her, and suddenly, they're seeing each other in a way they never did before. kane can't handle being the centre of her attention. rory wants to know more. however, it turns out that getting to know someone can feel a lot like falling. and maybe, it's worth the risk.
