Music: None
This isn’t going to be the best final post only because I haven’t been feeling that great past week. I’ve been patiently waiting to feel settled in but it hasn’t happened yet. I miss my freshman dorm and the family that was created last year, and something is missing right now. Ever […]
Music: Wilco - Either Way
Health-wise, it’s always the worst coming back to school; no matter how well the custodians clean up, all of the unfamiliar germs end up getting clogged in my nose and I spend the first few weeks sniffling and blowing. So I am investing in an air purifier for my […]
So in the last two weeks since I’ve arrived back at school and regained internet access (long story short—a broken pipe moved my family into a hotel for the month of August), I’ve been thinking of what I should post on here. I wanted to write something of great depth about what I’ve learned in […]
I wish I could describe exactly what I’ve learned in these last two weeks. My view of acting and theatre and just people in general has shifted so greatly since the start of this program that it’s pretty unbelievable, even to me. First of all, actors work so hard, it’s ridiculous. For a while now, […]
Post ScriptI hope that you will go back to the beginning and read through all of PC’s and CC’s respective years because we’re going to definitely keep these up for a while. I’m sad to see the project end - and we’re still going to get you guys “Last Night’s Alcohol” as soon as we can get things together to do it. We’re in the middle of some Sam Brown rewrites and some other things as well, but we’ll definitely get it to you soon. On another note, Ella’s song is pretty damn cool. It made Brian and me blush and we didn’t know what to say. I’ve definitely never had a song written about me before. In addition to writing some great lyrics and some sweet rhymes with a clear and tight rhythm (none of which just anyone can do), thank you for thinking I can belt high notes that I certainly cannot belt, and thinking Brian is older than me (he’s not - he’s only 25). But seriously, it’s the most flattering thing I’ve ever read. It takes a great deal of work and some fancy budgeting to be able to be a writer in your twenties - and also a complete disregard for the important things in life like health insurance… But nothing you said you want to do is out of reach. So go and do it, Ella. College is the best time to write a show if that’s what you’re looking to do. You’ve paid your 40k (or some scholarship has) in order to have unlimited access to the school’s resources for your education. So educate yourself. Write a show and put it up. That’s exactly where both Brian and I started. And then we started working together and since we were both such self-starters, things started happening more quickly. It’s just a matter of doing it. And finishing things. From what I can see, the difference between a writer and a would-be-writer is that the writer finishes projects. Good luck to all of you. I feel like I have a vested interest in each of you doing exactly what it is you set out to do. Do us proud and keep in touch! |
