Student Blog: Not a Goodbye, But an 'I'll See You Later'by Student Blogger: Alexandra Curnyn - June 2, 2021As Diana Morales says in A Chorus Line, 'kiss today goodbye and point me towards tomorrow.' While tomorrow seems scary, it's comforting to know that who I am and what I hold close to me will stay with me as I go through life. Student Blog: Fighting that Summertime Slumpby Student Blogger: Erika Spondike - June 2, 2021I'm a musical theatre major, I love the grind. Going from 30 hours (yep) of classes a week to having my calendar completely cleared was a big jump. But I can already feel myself itching to write something new on my to-do list. So instead of sitting around and waiting for fall, here are my suggestions to fight off that Summer Slump. Student Blog: Question-Mark Anxietyby Student Blogger: Maggie Cummins - June 2, 2021This is going to be a bit of a departure from my usual satirical articles. It has been approximately four months since I wrote a blog for BWW’s student column. But here’s the cold hard truth: I have had some serious writer’s block this semester. Something stopped clicking, and therefore so did my keyboard.
Student Blog: A Loss of Accessby Student Blogger: Kat Mokrynski - June 2, 2021The 74th Tony Awards are on a tragic path that continues the Great White Way’s tradition of excluding those who are unable to pay high prices for content, failing to catch up with the digital world around them. Student Blog: Ways to Grow as a Performer This Summer If You're Not in A Showby Student Blogger: MaryRose Jones - June 2, 2021Live theatre is finally coming back. Well, kind of. A lot of theatres, especially community theatres, aren't coming back quite yet or having smaller casts than normal. That means that a lot of people who typically are singing their hearts out on stage aren't able to do so just yet. One of those people is unfortunately me. Student Blog: 10 Shows I'd Travel in Time to Seeby Student Blogger: Maddie Davies - June 2, 2021A few days ago, one of my friends sent me a TikTok asking what shows I would choose to see if I had 3 comp tickets and a time machine.

Student Blog: Graduating in a Time of a Pandemic: A Performing Arts Student's Editionby Student Blogger: Alexandra Boccone - June 2, 2021As the well known saying goes, “the show must go on”. But now that we’re still living amidst a pandemic, until what extent does that saying hold true?
No one in their wildest dreams would have imagined that we would live in a time such as this. We all thought plagues were a thing of the past like in Shakespeare’s time. But here we are! Living in both fear and hope with a virus that has created such catastrophic effects across the world. One of them would be the suspension of live theater. On the flip side, the lockdown has brought new beginnings and discoveries for the performing arts even to a student like me.

Student Blog: Being a 'Theatre Person' in the Midst of a Pandemicby Student Blogger: Melis Tavmergen - June 1, 2021 I was a “theatre person”, which was the only thing I was certain about in life. Of course, this came to an end the last March with the start of quarantine. I still am a theatre person, but suddenly everything around me that felt comfortable was taken away. How could I be a theatre person when there is no theatre?

I hope to share my passion and love for theatre with all those who read my posts. Student Blog: Pittsburgh Playhouse's Dance Nation: Final Curtain Callby Student Blogger: Mary Felix - June 1, 2021All in all, the filming of the Playhouse's performance successfully translated the work of the stage onto the screen. Utilizing only minor adjustments, such as zoom-ins and close-ups, the piece remained a theatrical performance, captured by the work of three different cameras on two separate runs of the show. Student Blog: Summer Bucket Listby Student Blogger: Danielle Urban - June 1, 2021This summer I have already come up with some summer 'resolutions' and some summer bucket list items.

Student Blog: There's Hope for Aspiring Immigrant Artistsby Student Blogger: Zac Denver Lee - June 1, 2021I keep asking myself if it’s worth it to sacrifice my time, energy and money to pursue a far fetch dream of working on Broadway. With all the paperwork I have to do, paying so much to move halfway around the world to a future with some much uncertainty. What keeps me motivated is this dream and the passion I hold on to. Student Blog: One Last Postby Student Blogger: Holden Childress - June 1, 2021It’s been a great pleasure getting to write for BroadwayWorld, and I’ll be forever grateful that I was given the opportunity. Student Blog: A Letter to High School Directors: STOP DOING THIS SHOW!by Student Blogger: Adam Beam - June 1, 2021There are countless theatre departments out there, and after the year we've all had, the last thing I would want to do is stop anyone from putting on a show. This article is more or less here to think about when considering what production to bring to the stage next. Student Blog: Broadway's Returnby Student Blogger: Grace Callahan - June 1, 2021As we know, Broadway is returning this fall (FINALLY!). While many shows were forced to shut their doors permanently due to the pandemic, several productions have already set re-opening dates. Student Blog: Summer Showtunes Playlistby Student Blogger: Grace Callahan - June 1, 2021Summer is HERE! If you’re like me, that means rolling down the windows and cranking up the ‘tunes. By tunes, of course, I mean showtunes. Student Blog: The Case for Commutingby Student Blogger: Erika Spondike - June 1, 2021I have grown so much during this crazy Covid school year, and now I'm all packed up to move into my new apartment for my last year of college. I'm thrilled for another year of driving to cafes, picnics in the park, and having my own kitchen. Student Blog: Beyond Dance Breaks and Dream Balletsby Student Blogger: Emily Brooks - June 1, 2021When we think of choreography for the theatre, we imagine big dance breaks in classic musicals –and yet one of my first major choreographic opportunities was an expressionist, non-musical play. The process would introduce me to the variety of ways movement can show up in theatre (and film) beyond my narrow preconception of theatre choreography. Student Blog: Who Am I, You May Ask?by Student Blogger: Allie Pruett - June 1, 2021I'm Allie, an almost-nineteen-year-old journalism major looking for a little thing to do during the summer to further my experience in the field.

As cliché as it is, take every moment for what it is and don't stress about what hasn't happened yet Student Blog: Getting My FOMO in Musical Theatreby Student Blogger: Emily Ownby - June 2, 2021I only saw the most practiced and polished version of the performance on social media. I didn’t see the three hours’ worth of takes they worked on to get the perfect shot. I didn’t hear the groans over vowel shapes and breath support. I just saw the finished product of others, while I couldn’t escape the mistakes and learning that I was doing.
