I think we can all agree that we have probably watched more series in the past year than we have in our lifetimes. Well, I have at least. Since the one-year anniversary of being home is approaching I thought I would look back on all the shows I have discovered and rediscovered during these troublesome times.

Thank you, Christopher Plummer for being my first love and for all the wonders you’ve created. May you rest peacefully in your well-deserved honour.

In the words of the great and wise Uncle Iroh: “Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely” ​​​​​​​

I am excited for very few things this year because I don’t know what will happen this year.

As grateful I am for this year, I pray for better one next year. But for now stay merry and bright.

The day was 6 December 2019. First day in New York and the first day I would ever watch a Broadway production in person!

While watching Clue for the millionth time, I managed to cast a cast full of Broadway icons. Because the alleged remake will destroy the iconic original.

Ever since we got sent home and started online learning, it has been nothing but work for seven months, with the occasional five-day break given to us before the next term or semester began. Thank goodness it is November because come December, I will be off until March and I cannot wait.

I know there are many people trying to find work, hoping their businesses don’t die and praying for relief from the current struggle and I truly sympathize with all the people doing all they can to keep their livelihood alive. 

We all have our favourite Broadway stars but if you had the chance to meet them, what would you say?

The perfect playlist always helps motivation and stress levels.

Another musical, another movie!

There are so many people worthy of awards and of course there is the question of who is eligible. 

Like many of you reading this, the theatre is home, my happy place and without it, ita??s like therea??s this weird melancholic void in the world.

In times of confinement, some of the only things you can do to make your days different from the next is through music.

The Broadway shutdown doesn't really affect me the way it does Broadway-goers, Broadway workers and of course our Broadway stars. Although it doesn't affect me as directly as it does you. I feel the sadness of the shutdown just as much as you do.

I think I can speak for all theatre kids when I say, High School, would've been awfully dreadful if we didn't have our school plays. From the actors to the techies. A community that is strong and full of love. 

My first year at University and I was on campus for two months, tops. It took around those two months to get into the groove of learning Theatre and Performance, getting used to Movement classes and vocal practice but then Covid-19 happened.
