Student Blog: Back to School: Easy Semester or Not?
This semester I am a part-time student as well as working a part-time job. I went into the semester thinking that meant I would not have as busy of a schedule. But taking opportunities has taken my schedule another direction.

Review: I DO, I DO at Revolution Stage Company
Strong vocals carry the night at Revolution’s production of the dated, but funny, I Do, I Do. With book and lyrics by clever lyricist Tom Jones, the only song you might recall is Try to Remember (also in his 1960s musical The Fantasticks), which landed on the Billboard’s 100 in 1965 not once, but three times by three different artists.

Review: NORM LEWIS at The Barns At Wolf Trap
A veneer of unabashed professionalism, musical prowess, and often amusing self-reflection enveloped the Broadways star Norm Lewis (The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, etc.) as he delighted the audience at The Barns at Wolf Trap. Norm Lewis’ rich and resonant baritone voice is a natural wonder of the musical world ----Lewis’ expressive baritone spans the range between tenor and bass with exceptional fluidity yet concurrent control.

Student Blog: Taking it Day By Day as a Senior
Going into senior year, my goal has been to stop thinking ahead. Have I accomplished this? Well, I closed my first show as a senior last Sunday which is absolutely bonkers. I performed in a comedic, period piece called Tom Jones that exhausted me mentally and physically. Despite this, I was extremely fulfilled doing what I love to do. As I have come back to school for my final year, I have been distracting myself with these rehearsals and performances. Now that it’s over, I realize how much I have not processed about starting my final year and how terrified I am to no longer feel that fulfillment. And wow, has that realization been more than overwhelming.
