So as most of you know, this Spring semester, I will not be coming back to Marymount Manhattan College because I have been lucky enough to be accepted into the Walt Disney World College Program for their Spring Advantage Program! This program, is an amazing opportunity and I encourage all of you to look into it. For more information if you're interested, please go to www.wdwcollegeprogram.com otherwise feel free to ask me questions I'd be happy to answer what I can!
So for my first blog I thought I'd first start off by telling a little more about myself. As I mentioned above, I am currently attending Marymount Manhattan College as a Theater major with a concentration in producing and management and specializing in stage management (yes that is my full major). I have had a lot of experience working in the theater though surprisingly not all of them in stage management. My first internship ever was actually at Studentslive which is a Broadway education company. More recently, I have interned with the Film Society of Lincoln Center while helping them with the New York Film Festival and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I loved everything about it and was sad to leave. However, when one door closes another opens, and as it happens as soon as my adventure ended with the Film Society, I was offered a production internship with one of the most popular off Broadway shows called "The Blue Man Group". Being an avid member in the off off Broadway community, I was extremely proud to finally have an experience with the off Broadway community. It is such a pleasure to work with such talented people and learn so many new things every day.
So that is basically about me and my major, and pretty much the main thing to know about me is how much I am in love with theater. The first show I ever saw was the Sound of Music and since then I've been hooked. At Disney I hope to learn more from the theater they produce and maybe even talk to some of their stage managers. This is such a fantastic opportunity and I'm so blessed to be a part of it. I have been talking to so many people who are in the program and everyone is so nice and enthusiastic I can't wait to start the program!
So long for now,
