theater

Columbia College doesn’t have a theater department. Both Barnard College and the School of Arts offer wonderful classes, but that does not make up for the lack of a central community of theater students and professors who are invested in and educated by my school.

A playwright may devote months or years to a script, but the process of determining whether it is ready for the stage is much more succinct. Samantha Carlin claims that she can tell just by reading the first 10 pages.

Taking the temperature of a city in the early days of this election year, Paul Scott Goodman is bringing his production, Alive in the World, to the New York stage.

With its twisting and turning plot and not-so-loosely veiled allegories, Into the Woods is far more than just “happily ever after”.

It is fair to say that a good number of Columbians have taken advantage of these opportunities, but not all students are “theater geeks.” Then why does every second of every day feel like an audition?
