Hey Broadwayworld. Its Lea writing this blog while listening to "Let it Go" and "Monster" from Frozen simultaneously while not trying to scream like a crazy person because I love it so much but have yet to see it.

From open calls to callbacks, auditioning is a major part of the theatre, film, and television industries. For professional actors and performers, auditioning IS their job. Booking a show or commercial is usually a short-term gig, so looking for work is a constant cycle.

Hello readers of BroadwayWorld! My name is Maddy Oldham and I am a sophomore Drama and Early Childhood/Childhood Education major at Hofstra University on Long Island, New York. I am so excited to begin documenting my experiences as a dual major in arts and education as well as give you the inside scoop on the lifestyle of a college drama student.

This weekend was a whirlwind. I was lucky enough to host another amazing guest for my UVA program Broadway Talks Back. This weekend was Gabriel Brown from the National Tour of Les Miz.

With college midterms drawing to a close, another very important midterm is coming up. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding this year's midterm election. It's been made very clear to all of us that we have the power to change what we feel is unjust.

Hello, readers of BroadwayWorld! My name is Ayaka Shimada, and I am a communications and theater arts student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am a proud member of Penn's only musical theatre company, Penn Singers. I am so excited to present how theater nerds here at an Ivy League institution do what we love on top of our chaotic lives, during which we juggle academics, jobs, and extracurriculars.

When looking at collegiate programs and thinking about how I could train to become a theatre director, I was astonished to find that there are multiple paths to choose from and each one offered something different.

Transitioning to college is tough. What no one tells you is how to survive it! Now in the middle of my first semester at Carnegie Mellon University as a directing major in the School of Drama, I'm here to share what has worked for me thus far. Here my tips on how to survive a BFA program!

The time has come for you to start thinking about college and what career you want to pursue. Do you want to be a doctor? A musician? An actor? A psychiatrist? A teacher? etc. What do you see yourself doing after college?

Hello, my name is Josh Wiggins. For the next four weeks, I'll be taking you along for a ride of what my life is like, as well as the lessons I've learned along the way.

So it's been more than a year…! I previously wrote for BroadwayWorld's High School Center from 2016-2017 as a junior and senior in high school. With senior year stress, college craziness, and this huge transition in life, I had to take a break from writing. During the break from my last post A LOT has happened.

Hello fellow thespians and welcome to my new blog for BroadwayWorld! I am so excited to have you all come along with me on my adventures in collegiate theatre!

I hate midterms, but I love musicals. I've been having a rough time this week with all the work and little time to enjoy things. Midterms bring me so much anxiety and it sometimes becomes debilitating. I wasn't enjoying my cast recordings, I wasn't seeing any new things, and most importantly I was not motivated to study.

Hello everyone! My name is JuJu Jaworski and I am beyond excited to be a student blogger here for Broadway World and talk to you about theatre education in my daily life

With twists, turns, bumps, and jolts, the road to college can be a rough ride.

I was only in three shows in high school, and yet they were the best seasons of my life. We had three shows a year, but I usually just auditioned for one. I didn't really consider theatre a viable option in college, I thought it would be too much of a time commitment and would not fit into my major. I was excited to pursue my other interests.

The life of music major can be very challenging. Many people these days do not realize how busy music majors are

Hi everyone! My name is Kristen Kelly and I am so excited to be keeping you updated on all things Broadway from the University of Virginia.

Hello Broadwayworld! It's Lea coming to you from Queens College. Let me be the first to officially welcome everyone back to school and welcome to the 2018 - 2019 school year.

I got a relatively late start into acting: other than a few shows during elementary school, I didn't start acting until my senior year of high school. When I went into that audition room, I was up against people who had been acting for all of high school; even a few who had been acting their whole lives.

Creating your own work while in college can open more doors than you can imagine. That silly idea you have late one night could turn into something incredible and go on to be the start of your career.

Self care displayed on social media looks a lot like this; face masks, bath bombs, a glass of wine, dessert...all small indulgences intended to pamper. And they are loads of fun. I do not deny that.

After making the big decision of which college you are going to, you are bombarded with even more decisions after you enter college. Which classes should you take? What clubs should you join?

You survived your first week. And I'm willing to bet money that you were told at least 20 times this week how to breathe.

I loved writing these blogs for you so much that I wanted to come back. So, here I am writing during my last few days of summer break.
