Meet the Nuns!

Nuns and Guns what more can you ask for? Sister Act: The Musical is coming to Community Theater Greensboro on October,28th, 2016! Join the wonderful cast of this community theater production as we journey through a tale of a woman named Deloris's struggles. With numbers like "Raise Your Voice" and "Take Me to Heaven" you are sure to be tapping your feet to this wonderful music!

Stage manager Sarah Jean "Sparkie" Sparks comments:

"CTG is using the same set for the entire season. It presents interesting challenges. I feel very fortunate to be working with a production team who has been so energetic about melding all of the elements of the show seamlessly together."- Sarah Jean "Sparkie" Sparks.

I am myself apart of this cast and I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with these amazing young woman. Alan Menken is such a brilliant composer , and I just love singing his music! I love being apart of the cast because we have this sister like bound between us. We do absolutely everything together and see each other every night of the week. The rehearsal space is just great because we get to be in the theater while the guys might be in the studio learning music so its kind of like theater boot camp every week! Elizabeth Roberts (Mary Lazarus) comments about what its like to work with the other nuns:

"Working with the girls in Sister Act is more than just working on a play. The relationships that weve built are richer and fuller then I ever imagined." - Elizabeth Roberts

We have different age groups from young teenager to middle aged in this cast and its such a great thing to see such diversity in age among us all. Our youngest members are teenagers in high school and they are the characters of Mary Robert (Jael Arriaga), and Eddie (Torren Melton). Jael comments on what its like to be among such talented older people:

"Working with older people is really nerve wracking because everyone's so professional but its still very fun!" - Jael Arriaga

Not only do we have some high school students in this production, but we also have 3 college students from my own alma matter UNCG! Students include Danielle Storm (Mary Theresa), Gillian Gurganus (Sister Mary Patrick), and Alex Amaya (Pablo). Spartan Gillian Gurganus comments:

"Working with amazing directors, designers, cast mates, and crew has just been delightful. Working with Alan Menken and Glenn Slater's score has been a blessing- no (nun) pun intended!"- Gillian Gurganus

Having such diversity in age in the cast I think really sets us apart from other productions you will see this fall season! We really love playing our characters and have loved every ounce of doing the research for them. The role of Deloris will be played by Jasmine Evans. Jasmine Evans gave the following comment about her role:

"My favorite part about being Deloris is that she's the opposite of me, rough around the edges and she says everything she thinks. But we both love making music and that girl can blow!! I'm going to enjoy singing my heart out." - Jasmine Evans

So my dear readers, if there is one production you see this year LET THIS BE IT! For more information on the show please visit CTG's website below.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
