Summer stock offers a great opportunity to try new locations, theatres, and shows! I have had the opportunity to perform in Oklahoma! in North Dakota with Frost Fire Theatre. Currently, we are wrapping up tech week.  The whole process has taught me about balance and the value of soaking up as much knowledge from others as much as possible.

I’m so excited to share another DITL! This time, it’s the tech week version! Since this was the first tech of the summer, it's not quite as hectic as changeover (72 hours to go from one show to the next) will be, but it's a great intro to how professional tech functions! Here is what the Tuesday before we opened on Wednesday consisted of for me:

After a lifetime of performing onstage in dance recitals and school musicals, I have always wondered how the experience would be if I worked behind the scenes. Recently, I had the opportunity to do so at the dance recital of my former studio. I worked to ensure the show went on smoothly, and it was a very different experience than usual. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my experience backstage and how it compared to being onstage. 

Hello Readers! My name is Veronica Flynn and In this blog we will go over an introduction, busy summer schedules, stage managing Heathers: The Musical!, preparing for another play, and trying to navigate the TV and film industry. So lets get onto it!

To know and understand what an intent is and where it came from in terms of the work we surround ourselves with, makes the piece truly come alive and allows us to tell dynamic and compelling stories.

Conservatory Program, University, Self-Tapes, Sleep. I'm sure these are all things that we as artists consider at some point within our career. But what if there's another, lesser-known option, the liberal arts. What is it like attending a small, liberal Arts school? What even is a liberal arts school? Well, I'm glad you asked.

When you’re not used to sending in auditions virtually, it can be so draining. Even for someone very used to the process, it can also just be frustrating when you feel like you’re sending self-tapes into the void.

Once you have a survival job, you must understand balance. It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the job that is providing you stability, especially when work as an actor gets slow. But you can’t forget the reason you’re working so hard in the first place.

My name is Sophia and I am so very excited to begin my journey here at BroadwayWorld as a student blogger. I am currently a rising Sophomore BFA Musical Theatre major.

Ever wonder what a summer stock internship looks like? This summer, I’m the electrics intern at Peterborough Players in New Hampshire. I spend my days working on the upcoming shows and spend my nights in a cabin on the theater’s campus. Here’s what a typical day in my life looks like when there is not a show running and we aren’t in tech.

My name is Ella Bianchi (he/they) and I am a BA Professional Writing major with minors in Publishing & Editing and Theatre at Millikin University with hopes of pursuing a professional career in dramaturgy post-graduation. I originally entered Millikin as a BA Theatre & Performance Studies major, but my plans have shifted towards the offstage magic.

The people I have been lucky enough to meet through this program have changed my view on art as well as what it means to be a leader in a theatrical setting.

Today, I share my insider tips on acing callbacks based on years of experience in theatre, film, and modeling. From mastering material to choosing the right attire and staying mentally sharp, I've got you covered. Let's turn those nerve-wracking moments into opportunities to shine!

Adelphi University welcomed New York Theatre Workshop back to campus...It is quite weird however to be doing an internship during the summer months, in the same building I typically spend 30-40 hours a week in during a semester. But that’s the beauty of it all, really.

I am using this time off to continue my writing. As a new playwright, I am overwhelmed by the amount of ideas I have, as there are so many worlds I want to explore. When I often have a random thought, I usually write it down in my notes app on my phone. And when it comes to sitting down at my computer to write, I have multiple jumping off points!

What is a theatre program like in the middle of Arizona? Let me set the stage...

My name is Jeffrey and I am a brand new student blogger at Broadway World. I am a self proclaimed writer. English is my favorite subject and I enjoy having fun while writing. Additionally, I have loved everything Broadway from a young age. The first show I ever saw on Broadway was Beetlejuice. While watching shows is a huge part of my life, performing is an even bigger part.

Each year, my three best friends, our moms, and I find some excuse to get to NYC for a short weekend.  This year, Lauren graduated from college so obviously that means a trip to the most amazing city.  Here are some highlights and recommendations from this past trip!

It’s finally summer break! The sun is shining, the weather is warm, and the vibes are immaculate. Most people see this as a time to relax and get a break from school (which is the case for me as well). However, summer vacation also brings other responsibilities. I still make time to have fun, but most of my days are spent working at my part-time job. I work at a retail store, and while it can get exhausting at times, I enjoy it overall. It’s taught me a lot about the professional world, and most importantly, about myself.

As I mentioned in my introduction post, I am not a native to the Harrisonburg area. My hometown is Miami, Florida which is the complete opposite in every imaginable way. Here are a few of the challenges I’ve come across in my two years as a person who studies in Virginia full-time but lives in Florida. 

While I prepare for my senior year I am excited to be sharing more with you all and continuing to learn as you all learn more about me and some of the wonderful topics I'll be writing on.

Hi there BroadwayWorld! My name is Megan Frigerio. I’m a junior theater major with a concentration in performance and a music minor at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I’m so excited to share bits of my life and college theatre experience with you guys over the next few months. Get to learn a bit about me in this first post!

Hi! My name is Kylien Clark; I’m a second-year student majoring in Architecture & minor in Theatre/Set Design at the University of Miami.

I love summer. I love summer time and laying by the pool and getting to hang out with my hometown friends. I miss my college pals very dearly, but it is always nice to be home for a short while.

As a humble theatre student with no legal knowledge whatsoever, who am I to say anything about this topic.
