Being a part of Temple University's theater program has been an absolute pleasure so far. From the friends that I've made to the professors I have worked with, there is no doubt in my mind that I made the correct decision in entering the world of theater, or at least taking the first step.

I hope everyone reading this is staying safe and healthy wherever you are. Remembera?? this is only an intermission. 

There is no question that this pandemic has disrupted people's everyday lives and created a new standard for normal.  This is especially true in the realm of education, as many people have been forced to adjust to online learning. 

Choosing a college is hard, trust me I get it. It took me two tries before finally finding the right school for me. Thankfully, I found where I belonged but it wasn't easy. Here's the story of how I ended up at Marymount Manhattan College.

This is obviously a terrifying time for theatre and those who love it. Especially for students like myself, as we enter the work force of an industry that might be forever changed.

The play was supposed to run after spring breaka?"a break that we never came back from. We left our play where it sat, our dorm rooms like museum exhibits. Sensing the mounting stakes, we threw together an open dress rehearsal, desperate to get the play in front of an audience just once. 

I hope that we can emerge seeing justice and that the ones we endowed with trust beforehand, are still worthy of said trust in the end.

When I first decided to involve myself with the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg's Theatre Company I, like many others, had a set of expectations for what I would be doing there. Singing, acting, dancinga?? I was fully prepared to do, and see, it all!

Every time I see a blank piece of paper, I have a little mini stroke. It mocks me because it tells me the last thing I wrote wasn't good enough to get people to love or respect me. I don't write for that gratification but it's that little voice, that little kid in me, that yearns for the approval of others.

I gathered 32 quizzes related to theatre, each of them tested to see not only are they fun but relatively unique to each other.

Always being a musically inclined person led to me being involved in musicals throughout my middle and high school years, even playing bigger roles throughout the years along with actively singing in choir. Theater quickly earned a place in my heart that still remains true to this day.

I am excited to share with you my adventures at CCM, and the incredible impacts that this program has made on my life.

a?oeYou're not in high school drama club anymorea?? was the first thing a college acting professor said upon entering the room on my first day of freshman year. There was something completely terrifying about hearing that phrase out loud, even for those of us who weren't even in a a?oedrama cluba?? to begin with.

As a previous High School Senior I remember the daunting college fairs and admissions counselors I had to face. It was a strange conversation; explaining to my small town guidance counselor that I was going to be studying theatre for four years.

With Father's Day approaching, June is the month to recognize the dads of Broadway. More specifically, highlight their songs that tug at our heartstrings and might cause for an occasional silent wipe of a tear or extra call to dad after the show.

As artists, we are in charge of our own career destinies and as such, sometimes one has to pound the pavement in order to advance in the industry. Any good business person uses the cold call to his or her advantage.

I am a senior Theatre Education Major with a minor in Digital Media attending Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not only is Xavier about an hour from my family, the ideal distance, but it has a Theatre Education program, which many other universities do not offer. 

A Port Authority bus in Pittsburgh fell into a massive sinkhole last year. After only a few months in the city, I quickly added another possible problem onto my concerns list: missing class, making friends, getting stuck in a sinkhole, finding a free washing machine, etc.

Hello, Broadway World!. I was so excited to write my first post and start sharing my ideas that I forgot to share myself, that is, to introduce myself! Before you read my opinions and views, I thought you might want to know a little about me and my theatre journey.

Most, if not all Musical Theatre students at my school, Anderson University, were heartbroken after receiving the school president's email that we would not be returning to campus after Spring Break.

When Gov. Cuomo announced that all SUNY schools would be moving to an online learning model for the remainder of the school, my thoughts immediately started reeling. I had so many questions, concerns, and worries that my mind couldn't let go. One major question persisted: how am I going to take theatre classes online?

Not only are we coming of age and meant to forge a new identity for ourselves, we're being sent out into the world to create in an uncertain future. So how are students, especially creatives who were already facing uncertainty in the job market, meant to enter into adulthood with so many obstacles? 

When you cannot hop on the next train to Broadway, the virtual theater community is the best alternate destination. Though my experiences with theater can no longer be as reliable and consistent as a pre-purchased show ticket (at will of NJ Transit), I am making the most of the spontaneous and delightful events that Broadway stars are sharing with the world online. 

Albright College is a small Liberal Arts college in Reading, Pennsylvania. Albright is home to the Domino Players Theatre company, which is almost 100 years old! Over the last fifteen years, Albright has been recognized eleven times by bringing a production to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Region II Festival.

When I first heard of a?oeCome From Awaya??, it was in the fall of 2016, nearly four years ago. My parents and I were visiting Washington D.C. and my task was to find a show to watch on one of the nights we were free.
