I know these are unprecedented timesa?" and what a cliché opener Ia??m sure youa??ve now  heard hundreds of times. I cana??t pretend that I know what this college audition year will be like. 

Going to school for theater can be a big adjustment from a typical high school education.  Add in the fact that people are now taking theater classes virtually, it can be a lot to handle.

College auditions can be one of the most stressful, crazy, and exciting time in a young performera??s life. Years of training, months of auditions, travel all over the country, all on top of regular college applications and senior year.

In the world of the performing arts, your resume is your calling card.

Many theater artists have a a?oeside hustle,' a complimentary job, usually freelance, that you can do on your own time to help supplement income.

It has been nearly 4 months since most people have been able to see a live theatrical production or perform on stage for a live audience.

I recently had the chance to (virtually) sit down with Maggie Anderson, Associate Professor of Musical Theater & Movement, Choreographer & Director of Musical Theater Dance for the Department of Theater at Temple University.

In August of 2019, I began my freshman year as a Musical Theater major in the School of Theater, Film, and Media Arts at Temple University in Philadelphia. I had not pictured myself going to school in a city, however as soon as I visited, I fell in love!
