January 7, 2014 So today was our last clean up day before run throughs with the band begin. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there as I have a class that I lose 5% with every absence and considering I'm missing four of those classes as it is for shows, Andrew let me attend today so that

January 6, 2014 First day back to school which means less hours at CSOPA which means days are a bit more boring. Today was crazy at CSOPA though as all the other classes start up again this week. There were parents and kids and backpacks galore. I love to see how much CSOPA has grown

January 5, 2014 Last day of Christmas break. I have heard numerous groans and may have inserted a couple of whiny remarks myself. So begins the commute and the homework for the five minute intervals our cast isn’t on stage. I think a lot of people really disagreed with me about doing this

(video credit: Joshua Robinson) January 4, 2014 Before I start the explanation of what this lovely day contained I just wanted to make an observation. I’m pretty sure that our cast is basically living and breathing CSOPA because whenever I ask somebody what day it is, nobody knows… because it simply doesn’t matter

(video credit: Joshua Robinson) January 3, 2014 You know what’s even more “oh-my-gosh-we’re-actually-almost-at-opening-night” besides the day before sitzprobe? It’s the actual day OF sitzprobe and that, ladies and gentlemen, was today! We started the day off with our usual run, stairs, and stretching. The core exercise today was a bit different… a
