When Chloe and I were in New York last month, we waited in line for a few hours to try and get student rush tickets to Venus in Fur at the Manhattan Theatre Club. We were shunned. The show (which closes tomorrow) has had an incredibly popular and successful run on Broadway for the past […]

Though the process of creating a dramaturgical guide for our final project was both grueling and time consuming, it was probably one of the things I’m most proud of in my time here at BU. I learned so much about the world from my research, and I learned so much about myself as an artist […]

So the day before Thanksgiving, Chloe and I saw Other Desert Cities and the day after we saw the genius Kenny Leon production of the genius Lydia Diamond play Stick Fly. Those of us in the SOT community have been privy to the evolvement and progression of this play, but it was truly something else […]

Though my Thanksgiving break was altogether much too short, I am blessed to have been able to see some incredible theatre over the few days I had. One of the best things about being in this program is that I have acquired a theatrical capacity for much more than the commercial. Being encouraged to see smaller, […]

My freshman year here, getting to participate in SOT’s own rendition of the “24 Hour Play Project” was the best thing to happen to me at the time. Not being in the casting pool for that first year seems like such a bummer when you’re in the thick of it all (although in retrospect I’m […]

I write this post as I watch the Bears/Eagles Sunday night face off. Neither of these teams are MY team, but my roommate Jackie has a fantasy team and so it seems that football is always on here these days. I’ve always been a huge football fan, or rather, a massively crazy New England Patriots […]

“‘Desdemona’ Talks Back to ‘Othello'” is an article that happened to catch my eye as I was reading the Times this week because I’m currently doing a scene from Othello in Shakespeare. I wasn’t sure, specifically, what kind of reference to Othello this would be, but the article is called went on to describe a production […]

I came across an article in the Arts Beat Blog for the New York Times explaining how the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love is in the early stages of being adapted for the stage. Now, I take great issue with this. Film and theatre are my two great loves (Robert Redford is the third, but […]

In the United States, theatre artists spend exhaustive amounts of time pleading with our government for more federal funding, or for more public appreciation, or for prettier costumes. I believe that most of these things are valid and necessary to the livelihood of theatre in this country. But as Americans, we generally have the tendency […]

When it comes to my taste in music, I tend to be stuck in the 40’s. On any given day, in any given mood, my ipod is circling through hundreds of jazz tracks and very seldom do change it. That’s not to say that I don’t listen to other genres of music, I’m a huge […]

Last week when I read Mac Wellman’s Antigone, I had a hard time deciphering why I couldn’t connect with the piece. Following our discussion in class, I realized how much I must relish each part of the play’s puzzle, as everything is integral. Even just hearing the words aloud helped to better bring the story […]

My second love, or rather, my equivalent love to theatre will always be film. I am as avid a theatre-goer as I am a cinephile. We live in an age where film technology and it’s relevance to our culture is advancing at rapid rates, influencing people artistically and emotionally. For some reason, the theatre world […]
