The shutdown of Broadway and most/all theatrical activity this summer hit me hard.

Dear Krannert Center, I miss you.

I know that I will never forget the last week I (unknowingly) spent in New York City before the coronavirus struck the United States with a vengeance. 

My Judaism and theatre have always gone hand in hand.

One of my classes of this semester was Methods of Teaching Drama, A.K.A, how to be a theatre teacher.

Social media has allowed me and countless other theater kids to share their talents and connect with each other.

There was always something magical to me about the stage door. To me, the opportunity to meet the actors after seeing a show was unlike any other.

I admittedly once wore drama goggles with the strongest of prescriptions. 

Here are ten of my favorite dance numbers, and trust me, I know Ia??m missing some. And yes, many of these probably involve some kind of tap dance component. I have no shame.

My favorite aspect of digital theatre that Ia??ve been seeing is the switch from casual to in-character that most shows are made for you NOT to see.

Many leading lady roles in the musical theatre canon could not only be played by plus-sized women easily but when played by plus-sized women, add an extremely interesting and revolutionary take on the role.

Actor Nick Westrate (Turn: Washingtona??s Spies, Bernhardt/Hamlet) wrote a free article for The Daily Beast entitled a?oeAmerican Theater Workers Urgently Need Financial Help. The Government Must Step In.'

Herea??s six things you can do at home to make you feel like youa??re back in the wings of your show

I had been studying classical voice and musical theatre in high school and I thought why not? Funny enough, I had never heard of the program, let alone the University of Illinois, even though it was a Big 10 school. So I applied to their voice program. 

Over quarantine, I have spent more time journaling than I ever have in the past. Not only does it provide me with a sense of ease, but it keeps me focused and gives me something to look back on.

At The Stella Adler Self-Generated Theater Intensive, I would be able to take charge in a number of projects as well as collaborate with others on original pieces. This was enough to sign me up and plan to live in New York City for a month.

I took to interviewing the Arts Center of Coastal Carolinaa??s Vice President of Marketing Andrea Gannon, who imparted to me knowledge of the Arts Centera??s future, goals, and how to lend them a helping hand. 

Whether you have been performing and designing forever or just started in college, you are welcome in the theatre. Everyone has a place in the theatre.

As Ia??ve been thinking about going back to school, I thought I would share with you what will be my list of essentials heading back into the academic year studying the arts.

There are going to be a lot of changes, positive and negative, coming to universities all over the country this fall. This is how my school is making changes to keep their students and staff safe for the upcoming semester. 

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.

When I was in my first theatre performance back when I was nine I made myself one rule to follow (and it seems to be one of the few things nine year old me had figured out) and that rule was a?oenever to fall in love with another cast member.'

This storm will pass. The black clouds will return to their warm, and inviting white color. Life will return. I know it will. It has to. 

When I came to Princeton my Freshman year, there was one club I knew I had to join. I had spent hours that summer watching videos on the Princeton Triangle Cluba??s website and looking at old production clips and photos.

Earlier this week, I had the awesome opportunity to sit on a panel of current students for a virtual high school senior preview day. It got me thinking about how I picked my school as well as everything that goes into picking a college and a degree.
