First-person stories from college and theatre students.
← Back to Student Center - Blogs
The arrival of warm weather in the Northeast means for most college students that the semester is winding down and that summer break is drawing nearer; however, for theatre majors at Russell Sage College, the warm weather is an exciting indicator for us that our summer production is just around the…
Growing up in New Zealand, many hurdles challenge genuine and talented purveyors of the arts achieving success both nationally and overseas.
John Donne once wrote, 'No man is an island entire of itself'; this statement is something I always try to keep in the back of my mind, especially when working in the theatre.
Ever since I was a little toddler in a tutu every adult I have come in contact with has told me to 'reach for the stars', and that 'I can do anything I set my mind to'.
Until this point, my blog has been all about what happens when an actor has a job, but now it's time to cover all the wonderful things that happen when an actor enters a magical time called 'Unemployment.'
Unfortunately, all good things must eventually come to an end, and Assassins is no different.
After doing six shows a week, you begin to settle into a production; the scenes seem to run smoothly, most actor's seem to be making similar choices in each performance, everyone can recite their lines at the drop of a hat, there's nothing to worry about, right? Wrong.
Well, here we are; we finally made it to opening night.
INTIMATE APPAREL, a play described by Nottage as a 'quiet play' in which 'every scene takes place in some sort of boudoir,' is in it's heart about the private relationships between those close to us and those we wish were closer.
Do you know the saying, 'sharing is caring'? Well, here at Auburn the cast of Assassins has taken this idea to the extreme.
Sometimes being a theater student can feel like I'm living a double life.
Throughout my life of performing, I have always been told to 'take care of myself' and 'always work to make myself better'.
The process of stepping into a new role is definitely not something that can happen over night; it's something that an actor must gradually enter into.
Not every lesson we learn in our life is engrained into our minds forever.
There's always more than one side to every story, and this production of Assassins is no different.
Hello, new reader.
Before beginning my Disney College Program earlier this year, I knew there was a chance I'd meet people from around the world and become good friends with them.
It is hard to believe that I have been living, working, and playing in Walt Disney World for two whole months! It's definitely true when people say 'Time flies when you're having fun.' I know first hand how much fun can be had while participating in the Disney College Program, but I'd like to talk…
It's hard to believe that I've officially been living in Orlando, Florida, working in Disney World for two and a half weeks.
Walt Disney once said, 'I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing-that it was all started by a mouse.' Believe me when I say I remember, Walt, and I am thanking you now more than ever for creating such an iconic character.
