Eleanor Beutler belts out a song along with fellow members of the BAM Theatre after school enrichment class at Madison School last week. The program featured half a dozen numbers from the play "High School Musical." At the program, Melanie Lamoureux, artistic director and owner of BAM Theatre, announced that she was in the process of acquiring a building and building out a performance space and theater in Westmont, with hopes of opening next year. Lamoureux started BAM as a 13-year-old in 2001 with a couple of friends with the first rehearsals in her back yard on Bodin Street and her first show held at Clarendon Hills Middle School.
