Is it really Broadway if it isn't a little gay?

Johnathon Groff

Since the release of "Frozen" in 2013, Johnathon Groff has become quite the household name. However, he made a name for himself as an original cast member of "Spring Awakening" way back in 2006, alongside his "Glee" co-star, Lea Michelle.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox is one of my personal favorites due to her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix original "Orange is the New Black." She has been an inspiration and an advocate for the LGBT community, producing shows such as "TRANSform Me."

Neil Patrick Harris

Actor, writer, producer, comedian, magician, singer. What can Neil Patrick Harris NOT do? Harris has been in theatre productions such as "Rent," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Sweeney Todd," as well as TV shows like: "The Simpsons," "Quantum Leap," "Numb3rs," "How I Met Your Mother," and more recently, the Netflix original "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Alan Cumming

Alan Cummings has been in stage productions of: "Hamlet," "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," Bent" and "The Threepenny Opera."

John Barrowman

"Miss Saigon," "Phantom of the Opera," "Sunset Boulevard," and "Matador" are just a few of the AMAZING shows John Barrowman has stared in, along side TV shows such as: "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," and "The Arrow." He has also served as a judge and mentor on Andrew Loydd Webber's reality shows "I'd Do Anything," Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."

Andy Mientus

Andy Mientus has starred in Broadway productions of "Spring Awakening," "Wicked," and "Les Misérables," as well as in NBC's "Smash" and CW's "The Flash."

Ellen Page

Personally speaking, Ellen Page has been one of my biggest inspirations since I saw her on "X-Men" for the first time.

Noah Galvin

Noah Galvin began his theatre career in "Les Misérables" as Gavroche in 2005 and began his Broadway career as the title character in "Dear Evan Hansen" as a temporary replacement of Ben Platt.

Ben Levi Ross

Ben Levi Ross was casted as the understudy of Connor Murphy in "Dear Evan Hansen" and was recently casted as Evan in the First National Tour starting in 2018.

Taylor Trensch

Taylor Trensch started his theatre career in "Les Misérables," "Rent," "Wicked," and "Hello, Dolly!" As of 2018 he is playing Evan in "Dear Evan Hansen."

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.

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.
