Janara Kellerman's dream is about to come true -- in a way she never imagined.
Performing on the Paramount Theatre stage has been her dream since her West Side Delegation show choir days at Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School in the early 1990s.
"It is amazing to come back, especially now that the Paramount has reopened," she says during a recent costume-fitting at Coe College. "I would have never dreamed I'd be back singing 'Carmen' at the Paramount. ... One of my high school friends' daughter is in the children's chorus, so it's wonderful -- really, really wonderful."
