During my freshman year at DePaul University, I was fortunate enough to befriend a multitude of remarkably talented students enrolled in The Theatre School (TTS) at DePaul University, including my roommate, a first year acting major. Formally known as the Goodman School of Drama, TTS is the Midwest’s oldest theatre conservatory, is one of the top theatre programs in the nation, and makes up less than 6 percent of admitted students at DePaul.
The following is a quick snapshot of the daily adventures (and misadventures) of these brilliant Blue Demons; a collection of Sh*t Theatre School kids say:
“I’m going to go meditate, see you later”
“I really think my downward dog has improved”
(As part of the curriculum of TTS, acting students are required to take a multitude of various movement classes, such as yoga, stage combat, and Feldenkrais.)
“I need more blacks.” *Owns an entirely black wardrobe*
“I can’t, I have crew. I can’t do that either; I have rehearsal”
“I have a 12-hour crew call”…“Me too!”
