1. Drama Division Photoshoot
Each year the Drama Division schedules a day for all its students to get head shots to be displayed at the lobby of the Stephanie P. Mclelland Drama Theater. This year it was scheduled last Tuesday, September 15. Each student gets 3 minutes to be photographed by Gregory Costanzo. After an entire group (batch) is done they get to have a group shot with Jim Houghton (Director of the Drama Division).

1. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" and "John"
Last September 6 (Sunday), the Drama Division gave us tickets to see the matinee show of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" with Alex Sharp playing Christopher at the Barrymore Theater and the evening show of "John" at the Signature Theatre. The two plays were starkly different from each other in terms of treatment and the acting muscles required to pull them off.  

Residence Hall Move-in was last Friday (August 28) and Orientation began the day after. I haven’t had time to write a blog entry because my laptop was acting up and I had to have several parts replaced so I was without a laptop for a couple of days. I was also busy with a lot of practical stuff such as setting up a US Bank Account (CHASE) and a US Number (T-Mobile). By this time, I’ve gotten my official ID and I am now a fully registered student at The Juilliard School!
