Jonathan’s  Upcoming Summer Theater-Viewing Schedule

Only a few weeks left of summer! Since I came home from college back in May, I have made myself useful and productive. I’ve been working at a local sports talk radio station in Guilderland, New York (104.5 The Team ESPN Radio), completed an online class from SUNY Oswego that will help me graduate from college early (copy editing JRL 220), and currently, work at my home church doing landscaping and other chores (Solid Rock Family Church in Glenmont, NY). However, I don’t want the remaining time of my summer to be unexciting and not pleasant. Fortunately, I happen to live with someone who enjoys seeing local theatrical productions as much as I do: my mom. Both of us, in recent memory, had performed in a few shows with different theater companies all around the Capital Region, but now, we’ve retired from performing in shows and instead plan to go see shows and support our acting peers.Here is a list of upcoming productions I will be going to see, as part of my summer theater-viewing tour:

1.Consortium Actors’ “Legally Blonde” – Thursday, July 20 at Siena College

This musical is based on the popular Reese Witherspoon film. Consortium Actors, as I have witnessed on many prior occasions, puts on shows that usually hit the jackpot. The music, the dancing, the acting, the sets, all of it! Consortium Actors uses the stage in Foy Hall of Siena College (a mid-major college located in Loudonville, NY) as its main performing platform. This show will finish up this weekend, and I highly recommend theater lovers in upstate New York to check out “Legally Blonde.” Go support these fine young performers! You will not be disappointed!

2.Not-So-Common Players’ “Fiddler on the Roof” – Friday, July 21 at the Clifton Commons Outdoor Stage, Clifton Park, NY

In addition to “Les Miserables,” “Guys and Dolls,” and “Anything Goes,” “Fiddler on the Roof” is one of my favorite musicals. Why? The same reason I like the others: the songs. From “Tradition” to “If I Were a Rich Man.” These tunes will get stuck in one’s head after seeing this show.Not-So-Common Players, a theater company located in Clifton Park, has put on excellent summer productions in recent years, such as “Anything Goes,” “State Fair,” “Damn Yankees,” and “Cinderella,” to name a few. This show has a flare for the dramatic. Theater brings out all sorts of emotions. Like the world of theater, “Fiddler on the Roof” is a classic that will never die down. You may even say it’s “tradition!”

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
