Oh, Josie, we have lots in common then, LOL. My oldest is same as your son but not same major. I actually just talked to her on the phone and as you know, they are in reading period now. She is seeing Movin Out (her second time) tonight in Providence, in fact. I know a boy at Brown who is a junior who went to theater camp for years with my younger D who is now sixteen and he is majoring in classics and theater and is quite involved in musical theater at Brown and he wrote a musical that involved classics this year and my D saw it and I wonder if your son knows him. I hope your son had a great year. My D has loved every aspect of Brown. She lives in Morris this year and I wonder if our kids have met!

My youngest is same age as your D and is obviously very into musical theater (that's why I'm HERE!) but she is graduating a year early and thus is heading off to college next year to do a BFA in MT. I hope you will hang around because this forum is an invaluable resource if you have a kid going into MT for college!

Here is a tidbit you might get a kick out of....my girls just love all the a capella groups at Brown and I have had the pleasure of hearing several of them live and then we have many of their CDs. Well, my sixteen year old is infatuated with these singing groups there (wants to be in one at her college next year) and this D had been asked to choregraph a tap dance again this year at our studio for her dance troupe and she chose to choreograph the dance to a song by one of Brown's a capella groups, The Bear Necessities (and in fact, the boy at Brown who she knows whom I mentioned above, the classics/theater major, is in this group)...the song is Saturday Night's All Right. She had just taught the dance for the first time two months ago and upon leaving the studio got into a terrible car crash from which she is now recovering and is out of all her dance performances this spring. However, the troupe really wanted to do her dance to this Brown a capella group and so she has lately been choreographing and teaching it and polishing it though she herself cannot stand on two feet (don't ask). My older one is coming home from Brown right before the dance shows and it will be neat to see this tap dance done to a Brown singing group, all the way here in Vermont ;-). Did you go to parent weekend last October? We did and that is when I heard many of these groups.
