Ready for the best four years of life? Well, here they come! College allows you the freedom to become the person you are destined to be while studying the thing you absolutely love the most. You’ll develop lifelong friends and make memories that you’ll never forget. And if you are a Musical Theatre/Theatre major you have a plethora of things to look forward to within your major!
Here are the top 5 things you should be getting excited about:
You’ll be surrounded by people who speak your language...finally.
Booked it, Riff, Bevel, Fierce, Kick-Your-Face and Living are just a few of the words that will be in your daily conversation with your classmates. You can talk about all of the musical theatre goddesses you are stalking on Youtube everyday if you want. You’ve found your people at last, my friend.
Your class schedule will make your non-theatre friends laugh.
Your day starts with ballet, then you have a quick break before Scene Study where you are currently playing an 80-year-old woman, then you have Clowning and your day ends with Improvisation where everyone will be improvising their feelings and then talking about how that made them feel for 2 hours!
You will be blown away by people in your class.
Woah. She’s good. Like, really, really good.
Your finals will be choreographed or memorized.
Put that calculator away as those days are gone. Most, if not all of your finals will be some form of a presentation.
You can't…you have rehearsal.
You probably can’t make it to your friend’s 18th birthday celebration because more than likely, you’ll have rehearsal. But guess what? That’s fantastic and why you went to school! Hooray for performance opportunities!
