Backstage

Storyline

For the teenage students at the Keaton School of the Arts, making it in the entertainment industry as singers, dancers or musicians is a dream. Attending the prestigious institution is a good start to achieving their goals, but the day-to-day reality of being a teenager -- including classes, family matters and relationship issues -- often get in the way. This drama series, shot in the style of a documentary, goes inside the school to show what the performers go through as they chase their dreams while having to navigate through their teenage years. The students include gifted ballet dancer Vanessa and best friend Carly, who is stuck in Vanessa's shadow; Alya, a skilled singer who lacks confidence; mysterious musician Miles, who harbors a big secret; and Scarlett, a singer with a big ego.
