Burnout is never great but developing coping skills early on in a safe educational setting can help you as you advance in your theatrical career. I know it has for me!

It was the end of my sophomore year in college, what we not-so-jokingly called “Sophomore Slaughter,” when I experienced burnout for the first time. I thought anxiety was bad, but this? Oh, this was a whole new level. Read my blog to learn about my experience with burnout and some tips & tricks to help beat it!

I could yap and yap and yap about this camp for days. I know it sounds cliche and silly, but I truly am the most real version of myself when I am there. Walking through the doors always feels like I’m coming home.

I think it is easy to look at rejections and jump to conclusions about your worth or talent. I try to avoid these thoughts and, instead, process the ways I can improve my performance for the next audition. I now understand that being considered as the perfect fit for a role is subjective.

As many college students do, I arrived on campus and was shocked by the amount of time I had. There were 2-3 lectures a day and I often had good breaks between them. I thought I was living the life! However, as we inched further into the semester and rehearsals started to amp up for the production of Rent I joined, I quickly found myself lost.

One of my favorite things to watch on YouTube and TikTok is rehearsal bag packing; it is, truly, something I will never scroll away from. So, I have compiled a list of my own rehearsal bag necessities and how I pack for tech week!

When you’re an incoming college freshman, it can be very overwhelming. One of the most concerning aspects for these students is their dorm rooms. More specifically, what to bring to their dorm rooms. I was also struggling with this last year, as the thought of packing left me feeling very stressed.

I imagine that I will magically wake up one day and suddenly something will change. I think that if I could just have more time and ideal conditions, I would get more done. But this is rarely the case. The truth is, there will never be a perfect time to write.

Fear of perception will shut you down as an actor, but the opinions others hold about you are completely outside of your control. What you can control is your pride in your work. A great way to get out of your comfort zone is to make big, confident choices as an actor that you’re proud of, despite how you think it will come across to others.

Like any job, it truly is what you make of it, but working in a theatrical environment while in school is a great way to gain experience, earn money, and learn while you work

College theater can be a lot to manage and it’s ok if you do not feel you have a complete grasp on what you are doing - I’m a senior and I don’t think I do either. However, here are a few things I’ve picked up from my college experience that are sometimes easier said than done, but may be good to keep in mind for the upcoming school year. 

Welcome back to my blog! I am so excited to be back writing more about theatre, college life, and internships! In this post, I am going to be covering how to manage your course load along with clubs and other activities.

Have you ever wondered what show week looks like for a regional Broadway organization? I have gone through this experience not once, but twice this summer as a Social Media & Marketing Intern at Broadway Grand Rapids (BGR), located in Grand Rapids, Michigan!

As I was thinking about this upcoming year, I began to wonder what is one piece of advise I would give to every college student? I landed on the importance of building your support system. College is no easy endeavor. You are naviagting so many new experiences while constantly having to prove yourself.

One of the best parts about working in summer stock is the amount of shows that happen in a summer. At my internship, we produce five shows in 10 weeks. However, this schedule is demanding. The hardest part of each show cycle (and my favorite part) is the 72 hours from closing one show to opening the next. Here's what my schedule looks like!

So now, you auditioned for a show and did not make it in. I think it is important to remember that this is not the 'end all be all.' That doesn't mean that it isn't disappointing. A couple of things to consider is to look at this “rejection” objectively. I have made a checklist to aid in this process. 

At the beach you can find any type of character you want: Locals, people from out of town, teenagers on summer break, the workers at the deli, etc. The best thing you can do when developing a new character for a story is to analyze the behavior of real people.

One of my favorite parts of summer break is going on vacation. Every year (with the exception of 2020), I’ve been visiting the same destination, and every time I enjoy it just as much, if not more. The destination in question is Wildwood, a charming island in New Jersey. There’s so much to do, making it an enjoyable destination for any age.
