Yesterday I had my other two classes for the first time, got trained for box office duty and as one of the assistant house supervisors (part of my GPTI duties). When I finally got home I felt like my head was going to explode - information overload!
Survey of Theatre History is going to be awesome, in spite of Oscar G. Brockett (he wrote the definitive theatre history text that many of us have suffered through in other classes). We have a visiting prof, which is pretty cool. I hear the regular prof is tough. He teaches at Carnegie Mellon and just finished his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. His focus area is South African theater, and we'll get to learn about that, and African theater in general. Since I know next to nothing about that area of theater, I'm really looking forward to learning more.
The Theatre Management class will be the toughest. I'm looking forward to the challenge and hope I can make it through the semester with my sanity intact and a decent grade. Our final project is to put together a plan for a new theater company. Did I mention there's reading, lots of reading? Three books for this class, plus we have to have a subscription to the local paper and read that every day, as well as the campus paper. My eyes might fall out - LOL!
On the plus side, I've been welcomed with open arms by everyone I've met in the department, I know where I'm going on campus (for the most part), and I finally figured out the bus system - hooray for me!
