Student Blogger: Olivia Corliss

Olivia Corliss is currently a student at Boston Conservatory, pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre. Aside from coursework and productions, she is a social media manager and content creator for the official Boston Conservatory pages and website. She is excited to write for BroadwayWorld because she loves sharing insight into what life is like as a BFA student and how studying the arts has shaped her perspective of the theater world.

She loves cities and traveling, being originally from San Francisco, now, living in Boston, and last winter, studying Shakespeare abroad in Prague. Her hobbies include running, reading, and seeing as many shows as she can in her free time! Some recent favorites are Waiting for Godot at the Hudson Theater, Evita at the London Palladium, and Stereophonic at the John Golden Theater.
