BWW Blog: Gillian Abbott - Life as an Underclassman
by Guest Blogger: Gillian Abbott - May 8, 2013
In August, 2009 I was greeted by incredibly enthusiastic students on 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam. The Juilliard School: this was my new home and although my mom and sisters were overwhelmed by the welcoming committee, they knew I'd fit right in. Orientation lasted one week in which I met students from all over the world, set up my dorm room, and got use to downsizing from my two-bedroom apartment in Las Vegas. The school held several seminars to orient us, and organized outings to help us get our bearings in the city while having some fun before the Juilliard schedule took over our lives! (more...)

Fashion Photo of the Day 5/6/13 - Eva Longoria
by Rachel Stone - May 6, 2013
Eva Longoria is Dorothy and her whole world has gone from black and white to brilliant technicolor. I am in love with the bright flowered back drop Ferragmo used as their step-and-repeat for their celebration of the iconic Vara heel. Everything about it is fresh, young, and whimsical, which are not words I would usually use to describe Ferragamo.

These things are what make me love all of the shows I have seen this semester, and Casanova by Constance Congdon was no exception. (more...)
