Student Blog: Midterms and Music
by Student Blogger: Olivia Murray - October 12, 2021
This time of the semester can be difficult for everyone, exam after exam, it does sort of feel never-ending. But have you thought about some of the ways to try and mitigate that stress? Music can be your escape when you don't have another outlet to get away. And maybe if you're lucky, with theatres opening back up, you could take the night off and go see a show. Local or professional theatre can both be fun ways to take your mind off of all the stress you've endured during your season of midterms.

by Pamela Roberts - October 09, 2021

by Rachael F. Goldberg - October 08, 2021
It seems fitting, in many ways, to return to live theater with such an incredible and incredibly well told story of optimism, humor, and resilience.
