The thought, “A Star is Born,”flashed through my head the first time Isaw Joe (formerly Barham) Romanini per-form. I didn’t know the seventh grader whostood in front of the Warren Junior High
assembly and belted out a song from Phantom ofthe Opera. His confidence to sing opera in front of12-and 13-year-olds had to be monstrous.Unfortunately, the young crowd couldn’t handle it.First, there was an awkward giggle and then muchof the crowd laughed in unison.
As a junior high teacher, my heart ached for thegifted child who was devastated. Fortunately, thedamage was short-term.
Through his years at Ridgeview High School,Joe captivated audiences in lead roles playingMotel in Fiddler on the Roof, Jesus in Godspell,and Tony in West Side Story, among others, acting,singing and dancing in front of sold-out crowdsfilled with kids from drama, athletics, and everyother group at the Southwest school.
Drama teacher Jennifer Resolme says of the2011 grad: “Joe is an extraordinary student andperformer who truly made his mark on theRidgeview Drama Department.”
Resolme says he could always be counted on.
“Joe was the Drama Clubpresident two years in a rowand was a true leader in thedepartment,” she said. “Heconstantly labored to helpraise funds for the depart-ment and to make the pro-ductions of a professionalquality.”
Right now, Romanini is inwhat Dr. Seuss would call“the waiting place.” He justfinished designing costumesfor RHS's The BeverlyHillbillies and Mulan —which he did all four yearswhile attending the school;he earned a 4.0 at CaliforniaState University, Bakersfieldon his first college reportcard; and, is signed up for
27 units for the winter quarter (when 16 is ahearty load of units!).
“I figure I’ll have no life (outside college course-work) this winter, but I’ll get where I’m goingsooner,” Joe says. He plans to transfer to New
York University, University of California at Irvine,or University of California at Los Angeles major-ing in musical theatre in another year and a half.
The young man knows he has challenges aheadof him in a highly competitive field. He says eventhough it may seem difficult — or even seeminglyimpossible — to achieve in the highly competitiveperformance arts business, it’s something he hasto strive for.
“Some of my friends, who are also pursuingcareers in entertainment, and I often discuss thedifficulties which face us, but we know that if wewere to go into a more conventional career withouttrying to share our talents with others, we wouldbe unhappy,” Joe said.
So while he performs in local theatre, Joe isadding new experiences and adventures to hisresume. Most recently he portrayed Tobias Raggin Spotlight Theatre’s production of SweeneyTodd. I suspect he will keep that pattern going,and I’ll continue to see him on larger and largerstages.
Peggy Dewane-Pope is Joe Romanini’s formereighth-grade English teacher in a Panama-BuenaVista Union School District junior high.
