Whenever a camera is in front of me taking pictures of my performance, I can’t help but linger on a pose that I just KNOW will make an amazing photo. Even during rehearsals when we are blocking a scene, I occasionally think to myself “this would make for a great picture.”

Penn student Bilal Morsi believes there is room to expand on public health in playwriting. He mentions that 'RENT focuses on a very specific intersection of society and health that artists haven’t had to confront in the same caliber until the current COVID-19 pandemic. How will the coronavirus story be told? I hope to be a part of that movement.'

At the end of the day, the moral of the story is that stage in Wallkill's auditorium gave me more than I never realized. And now, when I find myself missing the time I spent performing, I look back with fondness.

It has been over 365 days since COVID-19 turned our lives and the whole world upside down. 365 days of protecting ourselves and others. 365 days of adjusting to this new version of life that is missing a lot of components we are used to.

The best advice I can give you is to listen to your heart (it’s about your heart and no one else’s) and go where it takes you, take risks even if you may fail, and don’t wait around for tomorrow to be the person you want or dream of being.

Marc Tumminelli, Founder and Director of Broadway Workshop and Artistic Director of Project Broadway, has earned himself a new title as the creator and host of “LITTLE ME: Growing Up Broadway.'

Unfortunately, The Fugard has been claimed as another casualty of COVID. This loss has impacted our theatre community immensely but now we can only look back on all the fond memories we have shared in that beautiful and historic building.

None of Sondheim's innovative works is just like another – so which one in particular you gravitate towards can say a lot. So in good, lighthearted fun, in celebration of a genius’s birthday, I bring you a very unscientific analysis of what your favorite Sondheim musical says about you!

In honor of the recent announcements about NYC’s plan to help live theatre begin again (and getting my first Covid-19 vaccine today!), I have made a list, in no particular order, of some experiences that I cannot wait to experience again when live theatre and in-person theatre school returns!

I love writing, but I must find the happy work for myself, not anyone else. I want to inspire, create, and reimagine the world through my writing while integrating personal joy to make it all worth it.

In celebration of Stephen Sondheim’s 91st birthday, I’m continuing to compile a list of 18 Sondheim songs, one for each show he’s written!

Orson Welles once said that 'the enemy of art is the absence of limitations.' Creators of theatre, such as University of Delaware music students Tara O'Connor and Liz Vex, have proved this to be as true as ever during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since quarantine began, I’ve seen a lot of older fans revisit the show, as well as some new viewers getting into it for the first time, and my boredom drove me to follow the trend. While I enjoyed the nostalgia of re-watching my favorite moments, it was strange to view the show with adult eyes and realize just how much my perspective and opinions have changed.

They make this our entire identity. All you hear in high school is how each class you take will look on your college application; how every award and activity you do will look on a resume. We put ourselves onto these pieces of paper, distill our very beings into easy-to-read bullet points, and then send them out into the world for judgment. For acceptance or rejection, quite literally.

Our student bloggers write about how they're coping with the current global health crisis, give insight on their school's performing arts programs, share their opinions on the latest theater news, and so much more. The importance of college friends, virtual cabarets coming together, Broadway zodiacs, and more-- read what our bloggers have written about this week!

There is joy that flourishes when ideas aren’t taken too seriously or evaluated hypercritically. Allowing the space to be silly and dancing in a way that creates joy breeds an infectious environment.

A few days ago, I read an article about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new stage adaptation of Cinderella. There are few details on the story, but we do know that Emerald Fennell has written the book, and that Carrie Hope Fletcher is set to star. Due to the May reopening of the West End, the production recently dove back into rehearsals.

While their spins may be ‘doubles’ and their scenes may be tear-jerkers, I do not think any actor's performance education is complete without a technical theater background. At my university, every theater degree includes credits in production.

As a disclaimer, these are not every trait of the types in the enneagram, just some of the ones I chose to highlight while doing this article. I really love the enneagram topic, but if you are basing yourself off the traits I write down, please take a more detailed test of the enneagram, you can find them online, and with that, let’s go!

Each year, the Gamma Gamma chapter of Alpha Psi Omega honor society presents Greater Giving, an entirely student run variety show. Ahead of this year’s upcoming virtual show, I spoke to Artistic Director Gabi Dwyer about her experience and what she’s learned about producing virtual theatre.

Completely student-organized, about 2/3 of the junior MTs have banded together to show off our skills. We are so excited to upload and stream our work this Sunday, March 28th at 8pm EST.

It is always encouraging to hear the stories of Baldwin Wallace University alumni who make it big in the arts field. Oh, and I forgot to list a critical Baldwin Wallace University campus hot tip.

As a lifelong Les Mis fan, I decided it was time for me to share my Top 10 Les Mis songs with the world. Any guesses as to what made the cut?

'I never dreamt that being an actor meant being on my phone or laptop every single day. But... it does. It doesn't have to be all bad, and let's face it, this is our reality now. I've submitted more self-tapes in the six months than I probably ever will in a such a short span of time. But I've grown immeasurably and learned countless lessons.'

This blog was going to be about something completely different, but once I started writing I realized that there were more important things I wanted to say and people I wanted to recognize. I was also listening to Benn Platt’s studio album, so go figure. This blog is dedicated to those eight magnificent people; go dawgs.
