Theatre Major

Being a BA theatre major has been such a great experience. Regent really helps performers define who they are as actors and define who they are as Christians in the performing world. What I've learned most being here so far has been how to set up boundaries as a Christian performer and stand by them.

Continuing Education

Coming back to school after a two year break was very scary at first because I felt so far behind from all the people I graduated with, but God showed me that my timing here was perfect. And he has let me meet such wonderful people who have been where I'm at and they encouraged me. And once you're in the classes, you see that there are people of all ages and degrees and that age doesn't matter so much.

Christian Education

I use to say that I would never go to a Christian University because I thought they would be so strict and uptight. Also I didn't think a Christian University would be able to teach me theatre the way I needed it to be taught. Regent completely changed my perspective. They have a wonderful program and they really encourage us in our walk with God and show us how to co-exist in the world as a Christian.

2010

Hello Bloggers!

I’m back at school, last semester ended really well and break was ok and now I’m in the New Year! YAY 2010!!!!! I’m excited! So this semester I have all theatre classes, which I’m extremely excited about. So on Mondays and Wednesdays I have voice and diction and then intro to tap… so those I’m calling my workout days, because I have dress out on both days and they are physically intense classes. SO YAY!!!! I’m so excited for them!!!! On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Stagecraft, then Fundamentals of Directing, and then Basic Acting I. I consider those days my intense project class days. Well Basic Acting not as much as the other two. But still so much work is going to have to go into them. But I’m so excited to learn and do theatre. I love every aspect of it. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy books this semester so thankfully some friends are letting me borrow books to do homework and I did find some books at the library, but I’m totally trusting God n thins one.

I have an excited anticipation for this semester; I feel in almost every way. Like I I’m stoked about my classes, and I know God’s gonna get me through on finances… I’m not sure how…. But he got me through last semester so I know he’s got something great planned for me this semester. I’m just totally doing what I can and trusting Him to do his thing. And I’m just excited to see what Gods gonna do in using me and in teaching me. I’m so excited about growing in God.

After the first two days of classes and reading what’s due and everything that’s gone on I feel like I’m falling in love with theatre again. I mean I’ve always loved theatre tremendously, but its like.. a deeper love for it. I went two years without theatre and I wasn’t myself, but I’m remembering things now. Remember the feelings and sensations and struggles and excitement of all these things. It’s super exciting. Yes there are some “scary” parts but overall I’m pumped.

It’s a new year guys I know God’s gonna do some amazing things and I just want to open myself up and be His instrument in whatever way that I can. And I know that even when those hard times come, I’ll take those moments and just give it to Jesus and honestly this amazing peace comes. I love that peace. Its peace that says, I got this. It’s the peace that says I don’t have to be in control and in fact I’m not in control, what a relief. Its such a huge responsibility to be in control, and I’m so glad I’ve given that responsibility of my life to God.

But I digress; this semester holds some very exciting things. And Ill try to keep everyone up to date so they know what’s going on the theatre world here at Regent and just what’s going on in my life in general.

Welcome to the New Year guys!!! It’s a fresh start, a new beginning, and it’s gonna be a good one!

God Bless!
