You’ll get the hang of things I promise and you’re going to love it. You are doing so good where you are at and you are so brave.

In February 2023, college life finally returned to normal. Since 2020, many universities in Korea had conducted online-based university classes. In addition to the entrance ceremony and graduation ceremony, many activities such as student autonomy activities and clubs were conducted online. Therefore, students had no choice but to communicate in an online environment such as a video conference program such as Zoom.

I know we all have our heart and soul set on musical theater, but our hearts have room for more passions and more people. Now is the time to determine what matters to us, and hold tight to it!

As noted in my previous blog post, this semester I am taking two creative writing courses. Within each course, we are expected to write pieces of our own and share them with the class to receive suggestions and critiques. In any medium of art or any type of work that requires one's time and effort, criticism is hard to take.

This semester has been a whirlwind of little sleep, even less food, and a lot of shivering. I'll admit I did this to myself; taking on so many tasks. I've had little to no time to myself with my crazy schedule, but there's no place I'd rather be.

There’s something brewing in the air, and it’s not just the odd wave of cold weather that’s descended on my college’s campus this week. As students begin turning in for the night earlier and my favorite study spaces become more crowded, it’s clear that midterms season is upon us. It may seem daunting, but here are 6 tips for surviving midterms!

I firmly believe that the best mode of learning for an artist is through the consumption of other art. It is so important for us to be patrons of art and artists. It’s not only a way of giving back to our fellow artists, but also a brilliant method of learning for our own artistic gain. Inspiration strikes from others, so it only makes sense that artists become inspired by the art of others. 

A common thing performers will say when asked about why they love theatre is that it's a 'great outlet' for them. But what does that mean? What is an outlet and how do we find it in art?

The first few weeks of the spring semester probably make up my least favorite time of year. You have to battle homesickness, force yourself to wake up early again, get used to a new class schedule, and face the fact that you won’t get another break for the next 3 months—all while it’s freezing cold outside and pitch dark by 5pm. It’s a tough time— but thankfully it’s only temporary!

Fandom-ism isn't a one-way street, for the most part at least. One fandom usually bleeds into another one, and then another one, and soon enough you're a fan of more things than you originally expected.

As a broke college student it IS possible to explore and experience the magic of New York City for a reasonable price, you just have to know where to look! Here are my top five budget-friendly adventures to go on in New York City.

'How did you do it?' I kept asking myself before returning for my second semester of college. 'How did you set all the right alarms, wake up on time, know where to go, remember all the rehearsals, and manage all your school work all at once?' And the truth is, I don't know. But I made it through the first, and we're back for the second! ... And there sure is a lot to do.

In musicals, when something is going wrong, you sing a song. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a crowded lawn full of students, and in real life, people don’t really burst into random song and dance. Fortunately, I was in the middle of a crowded lawn full of students, and one of them was able to direct me to my university writing seminar. 

My name is Grace Schofield and I couldn't be more excited to be joining the BroadwayWorld Student Blogger team! A little bit about me, I am a 2nd year BFA Musical Theatre major at the Dobbins Conservatory at Southeast Missouri State University. I'm also minoring in Film and Literature.

During the first semester of first year, everyone was still getting used to the brand-new environment, discovering the school's style and vibe. This semester, however, is the time for real work.

Jazz Improvisation has challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. I’ve never felt incredibly comfortable scatting, but it’s something I hope to improve throughout the semester for performances and my own musical development.

Open Mic Nights are the perfect way to gain some live performance experience without too much pressure. To participate in the fun, I try to do a few songs in every set, but it takes a few steps. Here are a few ways I try to combat stage fright at an open mic.

Not to sound too much like a poster girl for Greek Life, but if you’re debating rushing a sorority, try it out and keep an open mind. It may surprise you just like it did me.

The musical Hamilton has captured the hearts of thousands worldwide, and I must admit it's captured mine as well.

Intermission is over! My second semester at NYU Tisch as a musical theater student has just begun, and I’m busier than ever. I immediately dove right back into my packed schedule and I’m ready to devour the second half of my freshman year.

I mentioned in my last blog post that I'm a writer, one who loves all things theatre. And that story, or rather, this story, is about how I wrote my first full length musical: Sincerely Yours.

After having nearly a month off from school, the taste of summer felt oh so near- not just because I spent my winter break soaking up Australia's summer- but especially since I was able to enjoy quality time with my family and catch up with some high school friends. To be at ease and have a clear mind, unclouded by what is behind and ahead of me felt so refreshing. However, this taste of summer was short-lived and semester two came faster than anticipated.

After almost a month off of school, I’m so excited to be back on campus. As much as I loved being home and seeing my family, I missed my college friends, the stunning Los Angeles sunsets, and—ok, I’ll admit it—a small part of me even missed the dorms and the dining hall.

For each play, we dissect the essential themes of the play and then look at specific passages that reveal specific aspects of character motives and plot points.
