We have many Summer events coming up! Mark your calendars for our Back to School Bash on August 23rd!
Calling All Theatre Nerds...
Whether you love being the center of attention and the lead, or hanging out with your friends in
the ensemble, or playing in the orchestra pit, or working in technical theatre, or maybe even
directing or music directing, summer is a great time to think about your priorities. At the Music In Me Studio, we emphasize the importance of choosing your own priorities so someone else does not choose them for you.
Start by looking up any available information from your favorite theatres and school theatres to
see which shows happen at which times. Then ask your friends and those actors you respect
about any theatres you may not be aware of and look for any information about those theatres.
Summer tends to be a great time for reflection, since you are usually out of your typical routine. Even
when you’re traveling, that can be the perfect time to think about what you enjoy and what you want
to accomplish in the next year.
Once you’ve decided what you’d like to accomplish, think about which things would help you reach your
goals. It can be so easy to overload our plates with too many good things (I’m saying this to myself,
too) and then we don’t enjoy the process and sometimes we don’t actually reach our goals.
I would encourage you to take out your calendar/planner and plot out the times for the things you
definitely want to audition/volunteer for. Make sure they don’t prohibit you from attending important
family events and that you build in down time to refresh. It’s also important to build in time to practice
and visit your teachers, because consistent practice and training is what creates those habits that help
you reach your goals.
It's fun to be a theatre nerd when you feel refreshed and have worked on your craft!
Love & Prayers, Becky Barrett-Jones
