Student Blog: Spring Break Crash Out
by Student Blogger: Joli Flynn - April 1, 2025

Just a little moment of me re-evaluating my time management skills and my work-life balance after my spring break almost completely tipped into the opposite territory I'm used to.

Student Blog: Booked and Busy: How I Manage My Schedule
by Student Blogger: Brooke Reynolds - April 1, 2025

​​​​Managing coursework, student involvement, friends, and good grades is a difficult thing to learn. In high school, the structured school days took the time management out of the hands of students. Now in college, with less structured days I have the ability to make my own routine from scratch.

Student Blog: My Week in New York
by Student Blogger: Piper Greisl - March 31, 2025

For my spring break this year, I ventured into my first-ever solo vacation. It was my first time on a plane in two years, and my first time flying alone - as alone as one can be in Laguardia airport, that is. 

Student Blog: Facing Rejection as an Actor
by Student Blogger:Elizabeth Lienhardt - March 31, 2025

Every actor, at some point in their career, has faced rejection, whether from an audition, a workshop, or a prescreen. While we all dream of booking our dream roles and becoming a star on the first attempt, very few people ever get to experience that, unfortunate as it is. Growing up in the theatre, my perspective on rejection has evolved as I’ve aged. Here are some things I’ve learned over time based on my own experiences of rejection:

Student Blog: Take a Break: No Literally, Take a Break
by Student Blogger: Makena Magalong - March 31, 2025

In any case where your passion is integrated into your work, it can be easy to forget to take a break. I love theatre so much, so it can be difficult to remember that it’s still work, regardless of how much I love the outcome of it. In that, it’s hard to remember that rest is important, and that even though I’m choosing to study and pursue theatre of my own volition, it’s still valid when I need time away from it. 

Student Blog: My Grand Plan
by Student Blogger: Makena Magalong - March 31, 2025

As a theatre major with a passion for stationary and a love of organization, if there’s one thing I know, it’s planning. Life as an aspiring actor can be busy on the best days and absolutely insane on the worst, so it’s important to have a clear idea of where you are and what you need to do to get where you want to go on a daily basis. 


Dancing Through Deadlines: Spring in Full Swing
by Student Blogger: Eva Viciana - March 31, 2025

They always say it’s a whirlwind this time of year, and honestly, that feels about right. It’s trying to juggle a million things at once, hoping nothing falls apart. As an Entertainment Business major training in the performing arts, I’m constantly juggling the push and pull between creative expression and the pressures of academic and professional life.

Student Blog: Balancing Midterms & Acting
by Student Blogger: Maxwell DeVivo - March 31, 2025

Midterms stressful? Feeling stressed, upset, tired, angry, overwhelmed? Here's how an acting major survives balancing both this pursuit of acting and long week of midterms. Balancing midterms at a performing arts high school while being in productions and pursuing acting is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do. Especially right now, the beginning of spring.

Student Blog: On Failing & Finding
by Student Blogger: Michael Lakind - March 31, 2025

Hello y’all! For the next couple of months, I’m shining a light on one of the coolest parts of UC San Diego’s theatre department. Every spring quarter features a culmination of artistry that brings grads and undergrads together from all theatrical disciplines: the Wagner New Play Festival. The engine that revs the festival to life is the cohort of MFA playwrights. Each of them spends fall and winter quarters working on a piece ahead of its world premiere production in the spring. We have five playwrights this year, so this article is the fourth 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.

Student Blog: Lightening the Load

Student Blog: Redefining rejection
by Student Blogger: Charlotte Tolva - March 31, 2025

by Student Blogger:Elizabeth Lienhardt - March 26, 2025

As pressure loads and deadlines become stricter, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and lose control of your activities. However, my commitments have forced me to find methods that regulate my responsibilities and preserve my well-being.  If you’re seeking ways to manage your duties, look no further. Here are ways I find balance in my hectic environment.

by Student Blogger: Charlotte Tolva - March 26, 2025

I am by no means an expert, but I have come up with a few ways that I manage my work-life balance that has resulted in getting good grades and seeing doing what I want to do (which is usually going to a show).

Student Blog: Opening Doors
by Student Blogger: Joli Flynn - March 26, 2025

As I've gotten older and been introduced to more things, there are certain theatre-related genres or artists that I've grown more fond of. Let's take a look at them.

Student Blog: In Honor of Three Women Who Have Changed Me
by Student Blogger: Brianna Arce - March 25, 2025

For the last year, I have been an Intern at Philadelphia Young Playwrights, an arts education nonprofit serving youth in the Greater Philadelphia area. Here, I have worked for a team of three women who have given me opportunities to do meaningful work, hone valuable skills, and learn a lot about both myself and the theater community I am working within. Since it is Women’s History Month, I want to take some time to reflect on three things I have learned while working for these leading ladies.

by Student Blogger: Eva Viciana - March 26, 2025

Every spring break, Oklahoma City University gives its performing arts students the chance to step beyond the classroom and immerse themselves in the industry through OCUNYC. More than just a training program, it is an opportunity to experience the professional world firsthand.

Student Blog: Changed For Good - A Disabled Student's Journey in Theater
by Student Blogger: Brianna Arce - March 25, 2025

Being an Autistic/Disabled person working in theater can be difficult, but I had wonderful opportunities that have allowed me to turns my dreams into realities. My journey started as a teenage student in a musical theater program that changed me for good, so now I am reflecting on how that experience led me to where I am today.

Student Blog: The Cult of LaDuca
by Student Blogger: Bayley Tanenbaum - March 21, 2025

It’s tough for a musical theatre-loving teenager who lives 2460 miles from the Great White Way. You try to connect to anything you can that reminds you of Broadway and the people who work there. That’s why I have been obsessed LaDuca dance shoes. Similar to a basketball player wearing their favorite professional shoes, whenever I put on a pair of my precious LaDucas, the same shoes that Broadway professionals wear, I feel, even in my high school outside of Los Angeles, like I am one of them.

Student Blog: Saying No and Saying Yes
by Student Blogger: Shelby Lewis - March 18, 2025

I often hear people talk about the importance of saying no to the things that aren’t good for you. And while I agree wholeheartedly with the theory, I would propose a revision.  When building a career or an understanding of theater (or anything really), you must try new things and find what, and how much, is right for you. It's not just about knowing when to say no or what opportunities to take.

Student Blog: Student Blog: The Hussle of an AP Theatre Kid
by Student Blogger: Bayley Tanenbaum - March 31, 2025

Being a theatre kid in high school who is going to college for Musical Theatre, having good grades and taking AP classes isn’t thought to be a requirement. But for me, balancing my grades with my passion is a priority for me. I often get asked how I juggle everything - school musicals, college auditions, volunteering, plus an AP and IB course load. To be honest, I’m still figuring it out. I don’t have the juggling down to a complete science and hope to get better at that in college, but here are some tips that have worked for me throughout high school.
