Maile School Grad: Carole Davis

Meet Maile School Grad Carole Davis
Now Starring in Annie as Mrs. Hannigan

Carole has always had a passion for the arts. As a youth, she became a member of an off-Broadway theatrical company called Total Theatre for Youth while living in New York City. While there she trained and performed in acting, singing and dancing.

Carole performed at many venues in New York including, the Lincoln Center. After moving to Florida, she continued to develop her singing and dancing skills by performing at her church and with high school choirs. She attended Bethune-Cookman University and became a member of the Concert Chorale under the direction of Dr. Rebecca Steele. While in the chorale, she was able to travel across the country using her gift of song and dance. She also participated with the drama and dance departments in order to continue sharpening her skills.

Upon graduation, she immediately went to work in the corporate world, but her passion and drive for the arts persisted. She later became a teacher and taught middle school for several years. In an effort to continue pursuing her passion, she used her gifts in her local church, at other churches and community events. Always wanting to hone her craft, she attended acting here at The Maile School.

Since then she has done several projects including local commercials, industrials, independent films and the critically acclaimed stage play “Raisin In The Sun” as mama, which was performed at the Orlando Museum of Art. Recently she has performed in the Broadway musical “Dream Girls” at Trinity Prep Performing Arts Center.

Now she is about to grace the stage again in the musical “Annie” playing the role of Miss Hannigan on February 25, 2018.

Nothing Can Stop Ellen!

Nothing Can Stop Ellen

We are happy to have Ellen Becker at The Maile School. She is a very unique, eccentric, and compassionate young woman who’s currently on the up rise with life.

Growing up near Youngstown, Ohio with plans to attend college and play softball Ellen’s life took a 360° turn. At age 18, a few weeks before college she was in a devastating car accident. With doctors predicting the worst “if” she would wake up from her coma. 3 weeks later, by the grace of god, she woke up and healed from a traumatic brain injury while still paralyzed from the chest down.

After deciding to move to Florida with her mom to attend an exercise based recovery program, she has pushed herself to accomplish much more. 7 years later she is working hard to achieve independence, get back on her feet, and live life.

While continuously focusing on healing herself Ellen is very in-tune with her mind, body, & spirit. Enjoying things like, writing, painting, gardening, and listening to music.

Ellen is here at The Maile School working on breaking into the industry in modeling and commercials. She is working with Maile School instructor Leeza Perez.

While recently accomplishing goals like getting a part-time job and a vehicle adapted for her to independently drive. Her goals in life are a bit more intense like, “changing hearts & lives”. Ellen plans on using modeling as the start of a platform to put her radiant heart and “one of a kind” look, smile, and story to help not only herself but inspire others.

We are so happy to help Ellen work toward her goals.
Nothing can stop her!
Go Ellen!!

Meet Maile School Star Talent: Frank Monroe

Maile School
Star Talent: Frank Monroe

Maile School is happy to share adult acting grad Frank Monroe’s story.

Frank is known to fans as “Khing Jus Wurk” and has made his life’s work pushing boundaries and accomplishing the unexpected. A product of the foster system after his biological parents were denied custody following drug abuse, Khing has done the unimaginable. The first person in his family to go to college. Khing is in the pursuit of becoming a household name in the industry as a rapper, model, fitness enthusiast, and actor. Khing is a rapper you can root for; a true Cinderella story and an inspiration to every young person on the streets who feels that they cannot accomplish anything. He is successful because of his tenacity and perseverance.

Frank says, “Without the lessons I learned at The Maile School I would not have been prepared for being on set. I learned how to handle myself as well as what to expect. I was able to follow the lead of the directors, hit my marks as instructed and to listen before acting as told by my instructors. Improv was a big part of being on the set of “Marvels Black Panther”. My role was a Border Warrior and I really fell into the role. I advocates that through hard work and effort, anything is possible.

Having spent his childhood in group homes, foster care, homeless, and even in jail, he never knew what his future would hold, but he never gave up the faith that eventually things would all fall in place – and that’s what happened.

Some of his industry work includes LG G6, Full Sail Productions, KO5M Clothing, VH1 and Marvels Black Panther as a Border Warrior.

Franks says, “I enjoy life as a performer, entertainer and traveling the world and sharing my story”.

Continued success to you!

The Maile School has been training talent since 1982!
