When the San Francisco Children’s Musical Theater staged its “Rock-n-Roll Reunion” during Presidents’ Day weekend, a young show-biz veteran from Tracy was among the cast.
Bailey Rose Poole, 11, a sixth-grader at Hawkins School, performed in four shows at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. She sang and danced to rock music of the 1950s and ’60s with young people from throughout the region.
Bailey was a member of the Tracy Dry Bean Festival princess court in 2009 and has performed for local audiences, at the Alameda County Fair and in Beverly Hills. In addition to singing, her résumé also includes modeling for magazines and film acting.
