I’d like to just mention 10 things that I chose off of Gregg’s NYC blog, where he made a list of so many good things to do around the city including places to eat, places to shop,  theatres to look at, etc. I’d like to reflect on each one a little bit.
* First off, I did what I was [...]

Sunday, March 9th: Our last afternoon in New York City. Gregg took the whole class out to a pizza lunch, which was nice to be together as a group to celebrate a great week in the city. After brunch we saw one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, Is He Dead? at the Lyceum [...]

On the afternoon of Friday, March 7th Gregg held an interview with Natalie Joy Johnson, the UMW alum who is now a principle actor in Broadway’s Legally Blonde: The Musical. A group of us went in to hear the complete story of her journey taking us from her senior year at UMW to the present. [...]

Today, Saturday March 8th marked our last full day in New York City this spring break… I felt really sad about this all day. This trip has been almost overwhelmingly amazing. But in a way, I am ready to go back and get back to everything I have going on in Fredericksburg. Mainly, I will [...]

Friday, March 7th started off wonderfully. I slept in a little bit and then spent some time on my own for the first long period of time this trip. I travelled off to Central Park to roam the paths and made my way to the Bethesda Fountain to sit and memorize some lines for my [...]

On Thursday afternoon at 4:30pm at Lincoln Center on a park bench on 63rd and Broadway, I met with a middle aged man who has been acting around the NYC area for almost 30 years. It was a nice change from most of my other interviews that were primarily with people in their 20’s or earlier [...]

I honestly type Wow to begin every post that I have done here and then realize that I keep doing it so I go back and change the beginning. But honestly when I finally get to climb into bed at the end of the night to blog, my initial reaction to everyday is simply WOW. [...]

I have been thinking more and more as I have been here how much I want to live here, and honestly feel like I could just stay right now and be happy…I may not be well off or financially stable, haha but I love the feel of this city and I feel like I will [...]

Well, I have a lot to catch up on- pretty much because an unbelievable amount of things are happening in this city and I am constantly doing something worth blogging about! In terms of shows, we saw Gypsy with Patti LuPone at the St. James Theatre on 44th St. between 7th and 8th Avenues last [...]

This Tuesday morning me, Helena, Katie, Mitch, and Karen went to the Looking Glass Theatre Company to interview members of the Rapscallion Theatre Collective, a very dedicated group of college friends that began their own theatre company and producing their own work. We met with three of the board of directors, Lauren Reinhard, Christophe Anderson, [...]
