Around this time last year, I had just finished my college auditions and was anxiously waiting for results. I remember, the nerve-wracking anticipation. Would I be accepted? Could I pursue musical theatre in college? Could I afford it? Thankfully it all worked out and I am now at a wonderful school doing what I love. […]
If you have a guidance counselor anything like mine, you will have heard all the talks about, “choosing the school thats right for you” or “pick the school that will make you happy for the next four years”. While those are great tips on the surface and some people may be able to do that […]
When the United States of America was beginning, there were many influential men that helped get our country on its feet. Our founding fathers have been commemorated throughout the years with monuments, buildings, and other memorials. Schoolchildren learn the importance of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the others. However, one such influential figure […]
As many of you know, Over the last month I have been auditioning for a few different college musical theatre programs. This has been a very stressful time for me and honestly the support I have received from my friends, family, and you all have helped me ride this emotional roller coaster. Now I happen […]
This week has been one of the most stressful weeks I have had in a very long time. I have my first big college audition Friday, my iPad (and main note-taking advice) decided to quit working in the middle of the school day, and i had to spend almost all the money I have to […]
The time has come. I am a senior in high school getting ready to start out on my own. I’ve known this has been coming for a while but last week, I began visiting colleges and it all got very real, very fast. If you have been keeping up with me on Twitter, you will […]
If my title confuses you, good, it confuses me too. As performers we all know how things don’t work out, we don’t get cast, we have issues with another performer, we don’t like the director, so many things exist in our world of theatre that just don’t work out. Last month I auditioned for a […]
Hey friends, it’s been at least three months since I’ve spoken to you all, I missed you! Summer got crazy with closing a show, vacations, and spending time with my family, and to be honest I lost my motivation to write over the summer. But now, I’m back in school (senior year!) and have been […]
Last Wednesday, I had the privilege of going to see one of my favorite musicals with a few of my favorite people. We journeyed to Nashville, TN to go see the national tour of Newsies. The show was breathtaking, the cast was brilliant, and I made some memories that will last forever. We began by […]
Rehearsal anywhere from 2-5 times a week (sometimes more during dress/tech) is a regular part of any theatre kids life. We love it and we love to complain about it. One thing we love to complain about is not having something we know we need. To counteract this issue, I am going to share with […]
Hi! I’m Trutheatrekid, just like many of you, I am passionate about all things theatre. In2012 I decided to show this passion not just onstage, but through social media. First, I created an Instagram account where I posted edits of pictures of common theatre thoughts and Broadway shows. As my audience grew to a few hundred I spread to Twitter where I now reach over 1900! Slowly I morphed into solely a Twitter admin until last year when I was bitten by the writing bug. It seems I always have more to say than the 140 character confines of Twitter will allow so I started a blog, this blog. Here I post stories from my life, narrate the rehearsal process of shows I am in, and post articles and poetry about theatre. Soon I hope to expand and start doing reviews of Broadway shows and makeup products as well as tutorials.
