This weekend only Alamance Repertory Theater Company presents "Annie! The Musical". Annie will be presented at Triad Stage in Greensboro May 11-14th at 8:00 on Thursday, 8:00 on Friday, 8:00 on Saturday, and Sunday at 2:00.

For those of you who have not seen this musical based on the "Little Orphan Annie" comics, its about a 11 year old girl who is an orphan in search of her parents. Annie is a 11 year old girl who just wants to find them. In an attempt to leave the orphanage, Annie gets caught by a police man; and is brought back to the orphanage that is run by the horrible Mrs. Hannigan. Mrs. Hannigan meets a woman named Grace who is the private Secretary for Oliver Warbucks. Find out what happens next by attending this wonderful show for one weekend only at Triad!

The show features a wonderful cast including Phoenix Mangus (Oliver Warbucks), Ella Howell (Annie), Jessica Leigh (Mrs. Hannigan), Danielle Aj Storm (Lily St. Regis), Austin Rowland (Rooster Hannigan), and Eliya Watson (Grace Farell).

Music directed by Eliya Watson, and directed by Gill Hope Thornton (Aged 17) this show is sure to be a hit in the area this weekend!

Speaking of Gill Hope Thornton, did you know she is directing, and partial owner of the theater company at the young age of seventeen? She comments on what its like being seventeen and running her company, and being director of this production in this small interview.

Whats it like being seventeen, and running your own theater company?

It's hard. A lot harder than i expected. A lot of pressure is put on you, and i wasn't ready at the time to hold up a company. But with Walter Boyd's help, we are growing every day!

Whats it like directing a cast this large at the age of seventeen?

It's really hard. I think a lot of the cast had a hard time taking me seriously at first. When i showed them it was all business it started to go smoother, and now i have many new friends because of it!

Did you ever think Triad would be the space for the show? Did you consider any other spaces?

Triad was one of the first spaces i was looking at. I never expected to be able to put on a show in a theater space like this.

Tickets for Annie! Can be purchased through Triad Stage by calling (336)-272-0160 or online at http://triadstage.org/tickets. Come see the show!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
