I Love Broadway, I Love Theatre

A short piece on why I love theatre.

I Love Broadway, I Love Theatre
Kathryn McSherry

I love Broadway.

If you know me, then you know that I love Broadway.

It’s all I ever talk about or at least, one of the many things I talk about.

But Broadway I talk about mostly.


I love theatre.

If you know me, then you know that I love theatre.

What started as an obsession became a passion. I only ever wanted to watch and observe, sing and dance my heart out in the back of the auditorium until I was content. But now, I need a million hands to show the countless hours I have spent working and rehearsing. I need a billion notebooks to fill them with the lines I have memorized.

A decade dedicated to the theater.


I love Broadway.

The fantastical dance numbers and show-stopping routine makes my jaw drop every time the actors hit the stage. There are big scale musicals, where everyone bops along in their seat and knows all the songs. And then there are small production plays where the feelings entrance you and ten minutes later you are crying and also laughing through tears.


I love theatre.

I love coming up with new characters to play and practicing different techniques to make an audience feel what I am feeling. I always find myself relating to the character and feeling their story passionately so that others can relate and understand their own place in the world.


I love Broadway and theatre.

They make my heart smile.

Broadway inspires me and theatre challenges me.

Both work together to create who I am.

They give me the chance to rant my mind and escape from the stresses of the real world.


I love Broadway.


I love theatre.


I am who I am because of it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
