It’s Friday. I finished my last math class at 3:10 and spent a little time answering emails and organizing homework papers into stacks of things to grade over the weekend. I headed home about 4:00, my easy 200-yard walk from math office to house, and then relaxed for a bit over The Big Bang Theory. […]
The end of the year is fast approaching which means it’s almost time for Spring Sing- the annual all-inclusive spring musical. The best thing about the show is that everyone who auditions gets a role, which lets people explore their musical talents and experiment with theater in a less stressful way. Being that it is […]
This winter, I decided to participate in the Winter Musical, Spamalot. This is a “lovingly ripped off” version of the classic 1975 movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. As a wee little Freshman, I had no idea whatsoever that it would be an unbelievably time-consuming and challenging task. We began auditions at the end […]
Hello again, dear friends!! Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, musical, independents, and 2013! I trust that everyone had a relaxing holiday, and managed to get away for some fun! Personally, I hit up some of the ski resorts on the west side of Lake Tahoe, and had a great time. […]
This year, I am one of three directors of the spring musical called the Spring Sing. The Spring Sing is a completely student-run production, with one faculty advisor, where we can perform anything we want! I have been in the cast of the Spring Sing during my freshman and sophomore years, and last year, the […]
As you’ve probably read by now, we’ve just had a production run of “Curtains.” I’ve luckily managed to secure the role of Oscar Shapiro, the general manager of the “show within the show”. Confusing, yeah? The show begins with the murder of an atrocious leading lady, and brings on Boston PD’s own Lt. Frank Cioffi […]
What better way to welcome the new year then to bring out the power tools to build the musical set? On Sunday the crew for the play built a four-foot wooden platform for the actors to dance on. It took all afternoon, and we had fun every minute. It was a great end to our […]
It does feel good to be back. One would think that a break from school would be relaxing and a refreshing way to stop school activities and just have fun. Until the day you go back to school, and you can’t help thinking: Ugh. School. Not here. Being from the other side of the world, […]
‘Tis the season to be jolly!!! It is now December, and temperatures are getting to the low 40s. A bunch of stuff happened since the last update. We had tryouts for the winter musical, of which I am still awaiting the cast list. There were a LOT of people who auditioned, and all the guys […]
Last week, the best part of the musical began: the choreography. This year we are doing Rent for the winter musical, and on Sunday, we began choreographing La Vie Boheme, which is one of the big ensemble numbers. It was REALLY fun, but boy was it overwhelming. My mind was buzzing with shoulder rolls, points, […]
