Student Blog: Tools that Help Me in Life & Art - Redefining “Productivity”
Despite my disorganization, there are tools that, when I actually use them, really help me manage and balance different facets of my life. Remember who you are and what you need aside from what you do. Organize your duties but leave time open for unexpected fun and joy. Remember why you love what you love and what it adds to your life.

Student Blog: Finding the Stage, Not Just the Page

We have five playwrights this year, so this article is the second installment of a five-part series where I’ll be sitting down for a conversation with each of them. I hope reading these will be half as much fun as I had putting this together.
