Sometimes getting sick is just inevitable but there are things you can do to combat the inevitable sickness or at least mitigate the effects, because getting sick is never fun, and as a BFA MT student, I really just don’t have the time for it.

We’ve hit that period in the semester where it feels like you’ve been back at school for forever, and spring break ALSO feels like it’s forever away. When the light at the end of the tunnel feels so far away, it’s nearly impossible to find motivation to do…literally anything at all. But here I am, continuing to attend classes, not just because I have to, but because I want to. Why? Simple. I’m learning about the coolest stuff there is possibly to learn about in college: theater.

One year ago, I published my first article with BroadwayWorld without fully understanding what that small act would come to mean to me.

After 4 months, it is time for me to finalize my final Broadway World Blog. When thinking about what I wanted my final topic to be, I realized that I just wanted to talk about my experience and what this opportunity has taught me. When I was sent the application from my supervisor, I was hesitant. I am not a blogger, but rather an academic writer, so I was extremely worried that I would not be able to produce quality content. On top of my busy schedule, shows, and classes, finding the time to write these blogs was also tough. Sometimes I was able to get these blogs done a week in advance, and other times I was racing against the clock. After sitting down and writing my first blog, I realized that I was going to get out of this experience what I put in it. What I mean by that is, if I want to have a stress-free experience, I can’t let the articles stress me out. Sitting down and writing these articles provided much-needed grounding and tranquility after really stressful days. Instead of stressing out about completing another project, I used these blogs as a reward for getting stuff done, which made this whole process feel so whimsical and fun.

I have always been passionate about theatre, but I have recently discovered that being off stage brings me just as much joy as being on. Learn about some specific ways that I have been involved recently!

Actor vs techie – I’ve done both. And I have to say, the skills from each are very transferable to life and other disciplines within the theatre world. This blog is going to talk about the differences and how to utilize your skill set both on and offstage.

Settting longlasting, beneficial New Years resolutions is so important, especially as a busy college student. Learn how to create your own habits so that 2026 is the best year possible.

You sit in your seat. The quiet anticipation of the audience lingers around you. The house lights dim. The actors make their entrances. The show begins.

It’s time for the curtain to rise on 2026 and make my grand entrance into the new year. For me, 2026 is the year I’ve been looking forward to the most for a long time. So let’s reflect on the past, and jump into the future!

I love to dance! A day of rest please…

When I first heard the term “academic integrity,” I’ll admit, I didn’t really think much of it. Rules, citations, and avoiding plagiarism…boring stuff. It sounded like a checklist, not something meaningful. But over time, I realized it’s really about honesty. Being honest with yourself, with your work, and with the people whose ideas or efforts you rely on. For me, academic integrity isn’t just about following rules; it’s about showing up fully and truthfully, even when it’s hard.

As seen in my last blog, I’ve been thinking a lot about self-care and how that can mean different things for different artists. Finding footing at the beginning of a new semester can be difficult, but I’m extremely lucky to be surrounded by such incredible humans whom I can turn to for guidance.

As actors, sometimes we can take our art too far. It can become too real and make us feel too much. I am no expert on this, nor do I have any mental or physical health credentials.

Every December, the question of resolutions resurfaces. Resolutions often call for drastic habit changes or lofty goals, and instead of feeling exciting, more often they just are unrealistic. The idea that on January 1st we’re supposed to suddenly overhaul our lives has never sat right with me. So this year I’m focusing on small, manageable changes!

Here is a behind-the-scenes look into the research fueling my most physically demanding role yet.

This weekend, I return to New York for my spring semester after a six-week winter break at home. I didn’t really want to leave NYC. I was caught up in my groove of shopping for my own food, taking the subway to get around, and going to dance class every day.

As I begin my final semester of college, I reflect on standing on a precipice of uncertainty, no longer able to clearly envision where I will be or what I will be doing in the year ahead. While balancing classes, an internship, a lead role in Detroit ’67, and planning a PRSSA conference, I emphasize prioritization as a crucial time-management skill and highlight the importance of teamwork, especially in collaborative environments like theatre and event planning.

What’s better than one hopefully successful New Years’ Resolution? Two hopefully successful New Years’ Resolutions!

As I look forward to the new year, I am excited to explore all of my passions, not just those that directly tie to my BFA in musical theatre. I need to be a well-rounded person to live a happy and fulfilled life, and I am doing just that. So while it is only early January and I am currently watching it snow outside of my window, I am thinking ahead and planning for all the possibilities that this summer can hold.

The beginning of a new year always feels symbolic in theatre. It is that moment after the blackout, when the stage is quiet, and anything feels possible. January invites reflection. It asks us to look honestly at where we are and imagine where we want to go next.

2026 - a new year full of new experiences and chances to improve one’s craft. This semester, I’m gonna be busy – and I’m so excited!

3, 2, 1, Happy New Year! 2026 has welcomed us with open arms, and it’s up to us to make the most of it. New Year’s brings warmth and rejuvenation, a fresh drive to tackle something new or buckle down on something familiar. Personally, I stepped into the new year with the goal of becoming a better person. 2025 provided quite the mental struggle for me, and I felt myself becoming icky. I became irritated more easily, I procrastinated on all my work, I slept too much, and I ate too little. As I have said before, I adore adhering to a schedule, but 2025 threw me for a loop. 2026, though, is my year to get back on track and find ways to become more positive.

As many of the Broadway World topics are based upon personal reflection, I have enjoyed the challenge of incorporating terminology while allowing my personality to influence both the tone and content of the piece.

At the end of the day, it’s not about becoming a totally new person for me. It’s about showing up for myself in ways that actually matter. Whether that’s taking more dance classes, getting out of the school bubble, or being kinder to myself, I want growth to feel tangible instead of overwhelming.

Hundreds of actors, thirty companies, 90 seconds to make an impression. Here is my experience at the A1’s summer stock conference this past weekend.
