Thespian Officers
January travels
Hello everyone! The beginning of the year has gone quickly, it seems to me, and I just wanted to keep you updated on my travels as an ITO. The second week of January, I was invited to go to the New Mexico Thespian Festival. After I got off the plane, I was greeted by Lana Hagan, a theatre educator at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. She was the EdTA representative for this trip, and also my go-to person when I needed help or advice.

This past weekend I attended my state festival! The theme this year was Candy Land and the festival ran from early Friday morning through Saturday night. When I arrived, I immediately began getting ready for our opening ceremony, in which I portrayed the role of Mr. Mint. I also had the opportunity to greet more than six hundred Nebraska Thespians as their ITO.

It’s been two weeks since I attended the Colorado Thespian Conference, and I’m still reminiscing about the quality of the conference. Over 3,000 students, a plethora of workshops, and wonderful IE's and performances filled my weekend.

My decision to get a B.A.
Should I get a B.F.A. or a B.A.?
I first asked myself this question in my freshman year of high school. I knew then that theatre was my calling and that one day I would be a theatre professional. Not a lot has changed for me since then, except for that fact that college is a whole lot closer. And more real.
And scarier.
These decisions will follow me the rest of my life. Where I go to college, what I major in, what degree I pursue ultimately guides the path my life will take. That is to say, deciding between a B.F.A. and a B.A. should not be done flippantly.
