Many students thrive with a busy schedule while participating in multiple activities. But if you are like me and often find yourself struggling under the pressure, there is no shame in cutting back on your responsibilities. College burnout is real. Does that require taking and leaving some extracurriculars? Perhaps, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing important parts of your personality. Prioritize finding the time to do activities that you love but in a way that makes you happy and stress-free.

Back to school can be stressful and scary, especially for a transfer theatre student, but also very exciting!

I live in London- something that used to be beyond my wildest dreams! If you had asked me a year ago where I thought I'd be post-grad with my BFA, I don't think I would have said living in London getting my Master's in Shakespeare... but life works in mysterious ways, and here I am!

After working for years on dance, I was worried I would forget everything I ever learned after entering college. COVID-19 made it harder to get out and I was terrified my body wouldn’t remember the steps. I started practicing pirouettes on the smooth floor of my garage and stretching daily. Dancing in front of a screen was far different from a live studio.

Hello Broadway lovers, creators, and theatre students around the world! Welcome back to the blog, and to my ongoing segment: Sharing Their Stories. For the past year, I've shared the journeys and artistic discoveries of notable artists in my DC area, and around the world. Every person I've had the honor to speak with, carries unique experiences and perspectives about the constantly changing world of the arts. I hope their stories serve as inspiration, demystification of the road to artistic success, and as fuel to keep creating.

It goes back to the days of Vsevolod Meyerhold- theatre has a social responsibility; that is, theatre has the responsibility to lift the voices and tell the stories of every kind of person and every community. Theatre is the most magical form of storytelling, and the possibilities for just how these stories can be told are endless. Having just had the wonderful opportunity to see The Anthropologists’ No Pants in Tucson (a devised work by and for the queer and feminist community), I’ve started thinking about how much the theatre world needs more of this kind of work, this queer-focused and queer-based work. This is the kind of work whose main objective is to tell the stories of a community that still struggles to be heard. After learning that each vignette in this particular piece is based on true stories, I realized that there are probably just thousands of other stories that were never so much as examined that are just waiting to be told onstage.

Happy college to me and anyone who chooses to celebrate it! Welcome to a new year of school, that one thing you wish you left back in highschool, and a chilling fall semester. I thought I’d bring you along for a week in the life of my first semester as a Sophomore BFA Acting/Directing/Playwriting at Boston University (BU)!

Dropping this picture here purely because I just got the chance to download it, so here's a little gift for you. Anyways, this month has been full of revelations and such for me.

In August, Transforming Space Over Time: Set Design and Visual Storytelling with Broadway’s Legendary Directors by Beowulf Boritt was released. After reading the book, I had the chance to speak with Beowulf about the book’s release and his years of experience as a set designer.

In this musical adaptation of Fellini's 8 1/2, NINE features one man and the dozens of women in his life.

Hello Broadway lovers, theatre students and creators around the world! Welcome back to the blog as we continue into the heart of September. I'm sitting here procrastinating on my schoolwork and watching the leaves start to fall outside...a.k.a, the perfect time to write about my summer. As I re-enter the world of college theatre, collaborating daily with fellow artists and friends, I find myself thinking a lot about one of my favorite moments from the past few months. Read on!

During the month of August, thousands flock to Edinburgh, Scotland to take part in the world’s largest performing arts festival, the annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe or “The Fringe.” Taking place during a three-week period, the festival transforms Edinburgh into one of the most active cities in Europe with local, national and international artists performing throughout the city all day, every day. The festival has been taking place in Edinburgh for seventy-five years, starting when eight theatre companies arrived uninvited to the Edinburgh International Festival, an elite theatre festival, and were not allowed to perform. Determined to showcase their work, these eight companies took up residence in local venues, such as pubs, hotels, basements and restaurants, performing their shows on the fringe of the Edinburgh International Festival. From that moment the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was born!

For the last few years, I’ve been learning a lot about theater in general and falling in love with plays and musicals that I didn’t know existed. And it was until this summer, that I decided to join the production company at my campus; otherwise I would regret wasting that time on my last year.

Recently, I had the chance to speak with Christopher M. Ramirez, who is playing Touchstone in the Public’s musical adaptation of As You Like It, the second time the production has been staged at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. We discussed Shakespeare, the Public's mission, and even pancakes!

As I sit here during the first day of my junior year of college, I can't help but reflect on the last three-and-a-half months.

Through my disdain of self tapes and hope to revive the feeling of being in a physical audition room, I've created some ground rules for myself. I hope these help, because they have surely helped me.

Hello Broadway lovers, theatre students, and artistic creators around the world! Welcome to the blog as we enter August. This summer literally flew by, and I'm still working on resting and reigniting my dedication to the arts before the school year begins again. When life speeds in a blur, it becomes easy to feel out of touch with ourselves and our passions.

Three years ago, a YouTube channel called Wait in the Wings published its first video, titled 'The World's Most Dangerous Musical -- Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark.' From that moment on, Brendon Henderson gained a reputation in the theatre world - The Explorer of Underrated Shows. Since then, Wait in the Wings has been used as a place for Brendon to publish documentaries on different underrated Broadway shows that haven't been given their full due by the theatre community. He's discussed shows like Carrie, Groundhog Day, Diana, Rebecca, and even fictional shows like Rogers the Musical from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Presenting Days One through Six of my Girl Scout Troop's California Summer Escapades: the first of countless recaps to come. Color-coded and jam-packed, my calendar promised me a June of memories and experiences itching to be explored.  I am more than ready to ring in my final year as a Girl Scout! Cheers to the first day of my year of lasts!

It is late July 2022, marking my fourteenth Disability Pride month and the fourteenth anniversary month of my being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

Maybe the musicals in this list aren’t exactly summer musicals, but what I love about them is that if I’m listening to them, I could feel like the main character during these hot days and I think that’s all we need sometimes.

The music in the movie Forrest Gump was a central part of the plot, believe it or not.

Last week, I had the opportunity to sit down with the director, choreographer, and set designer of The Summer Theatre of New Canaan’s production of “The Wizard of Oz”: Corinne C. Broadbent! Be sure to follow the yellow brick road to stonc.org for tickets - now through July 31st!
