I feel the usual pre-performance nerves kick in. I’ve been practicing this one song for weeks. I give myself an internal pep talk, and give the pianist a small nod to communicate that I am ready. Sondheim's words pour out of my mouth as my small 8 year old voice fills the Black Box theater. 

Theater students plan out when they are going to complete their assignments weeks in advance so this disturbs our pre-planned schedule. Something like this can make you want to text up your friends and ask for the answers, or use ChatGPT (open AI) to assist us in our assignment. 

I feel as if we are all running to the finish line that reads “winter break”. Knowing that as a theater major we have work, studying for finals, and even rehearsals can make your brain feel tired just thinking about it. We push ourselves harder during the last few weeks because we know we are almost done, but sometimes you just need a break. How do I overcome the annoying and most of all uncommon feeling of burnout?

During summer internship application season, college students strive to intern at big-name companies that will fuel them with experience, connections, and maybe even a job in the future. Through this blog post, I have created a guide to help theater intern applicants navigate through this stressful and sometimes scary process.

This is an article written by the biggest procrastinator in the world. The words “I get everything done” just roll off of my tongue. Though this is true and something I am not proud of, I have mastered this way of life. I truly believe my best work is done when I am under pressure.

I feel each note and key change tie us together. Dad, “thank you for the music, for giving it to me”.

If anyone has told you that being a theatre major is easy, this article is for you.

Do you love theater, but don't want to be in the spotlight? Well you are in luck because there is more to theater than being on stage!
