The Worst Video on YouTube
Oh, how humor has evolved throughout the years. Some people find classic humor (the likes of Richard Pryor or Steve Martin, even Abbot and Costello) to be far superior than the humor of today. “Modern day humor,” if you will, as controversial as it is, has opened new ground for some amazing comedians to showcase their talents. However, this ‘comedy’ video contains absolutely zero resemblance to anything humorous, with the exception of the guest star: a truly talented Gus Johnson.

Stop Trying to Revive 90s Classics
From the creation of live action versions of our favorite cartoons to rebooting classical television shows, there has been a lot of talk about injecting the 90s right into 2000s. On the surface, bringing back classics like these seems like a great idea. Many classic shows and movies have developed a cult following through the internet and social media; this means that there is a great target audience and lots of interest for these reboots and, in most cases, it helps bring about actors that we have not seen work in while. However the love that we have for classics simply cannot be duplicated and seems to be indicative of the lack of creativity and inspiration that seems to exist in the television and film industries.

Should 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' Be Considered Canon?
The two-part stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, is headed to Times Square here in New York. I live a few blocks from the theater, but there is no way I'm gonna be able to get tickets for this show.

The Art of Streaming
The digital age has sure shaped how we view, listen and experience things today. Take Hulu and Netflix, for example, there is something about watching your shows or movies through a website vs. real time through your cable provider. I am a 26 year old who doesn't have cable and streams my shows, while my parents, on the other hand, have had cable for countless years and don't quite understand the direction millennials are taking things.

How I Learn My Scripts
Hi! I'm a training actress and I perform multiple different shows every year. The learning process changes from show to show, for example the process for learning a play is quite different from learning a musical. Today I will be covering my process for learning musical scripts but I will cover my process for plays in another post! In my theatre company, we do not use the word “memorize” because it implies that we only know the words on the paper with no real meaning behind it. Instead we are told to “learn” each line so every movement and phrase has a meaning. Currently I am performing in Little Shop Of Horrors the musical.

Things Theatre Has Taught Me
For those that know me and for those that don't, I spend more time in my local theatre than I do in my own home. At the age of three my mum introduced me to this beautiful, singsongy, colourful world and I have not left. Being a 19-year-old actor/director/writer/all around creative soul, I'm proud to say that my world revolves around the theatre. Consequently, each show and each soundtrack I listened to is a keepsake of a point in my life, whether it be a happy or sad moment or a moment filled with passion or anger. Although theatre isn't meant to be therapy, it is very therapeutic in the sense that it teaches you a multitude of fundamental life lessons.
