.. is that I'm at the point where I can pretty much take what I want. I just need 2 "supporting" classes at the 300 or 400 level, one 400-level theater history class, and one last practicum credit - 10 credits.
I just had my advising session for the fall semester. I told Susan (who's a marvel - she obviously loves her job) that I want to take 2 classes this summer that will count for my supporting classes. One is Jane Austen: Novels, Films & Adaptations, the other is Hair & Wigs for the Theater. You may remember I signed up for the latter class last summer, but it was canceled for under-enrollment. It's the same instructor, so I'm assuming I'd be able to use the textbook I ordered last year, before the class was canceled. I'm crossing my fingers that they get enough students to run the class this time.
That would leave me with only the history class & practicum to take in the fall. However, I've already signed up to audition for Character Development and Contemporary Musical Theater. The second one is self-explanatory, but the other one would be a unique performance opportunity. Apparently you spend the semester "getting inside" an actual historical figure whose portrait or statue is in a local museum. Toward the end of the semester, you reenact that person at the museum for actual museum patrons. For example, if I were doing Eleanor Roosevelt, I'd interact with museum-goers as Eleanor Roosevelt, clothing, accent and all.
I'll also continue with the Vocal Minor program in the fall (assuming I audition successfully) and sing in one of the choruses. Gotta get my music fix, after all. 😉
This is the "problem" with having my advising appointment so much before the next semester - we're just going into spring break and I'm already looking ahead to my next classes.
