The Drowsy Chaperone
Last week, I was lucky enough to attend the touring production of The Drowsy Chaperone. It was a swingin’ good time! The show revolves around the man in the chair who plays the recording and narrates the story of the 1920’s hit The Drowsy Chaperone. As he listens to the record, his apartment is transformed into the […]Filed under Uncategorized, Student Marketing Team Blog on January 26, 2009.
Mannheim Steamroller
Last week, I attended Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas concert at the Phillips Center. The show really put me in the Christmas spirit! Mannheim Steamroller is a household name, and I am embarrassed to say that before last week, I had never heard their music. For those who have never heard their music, you are missing out! Mannheim Steamroller […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on November 19, 2008.

Capitol Steps
Last night, I was able to attend the Capitol Steps performance. The Capitol Steps perform a special kind of political humor and the show changes constantly based on the scandal of the day. It was really cool that they were in Gainesville so close to the presidential election. The show was hilarous and I (along with […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on November 3, 2008.
Inbal Pinto
The Inbal Pinto performance last night was one of the most fascinating shows I have ever seen. The concept of the show was life inside of a snowglobe and the entire stage was covered in snow. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this modern dance group but within minutes I was mesmorized. The […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on October 23, 2008.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
I am ashamed to say that until recently, my only knowledge about Ladysmith Black Mambazo was that of most average students…a one time reference made in the Lindsay Lohan comedy, Mean Girls. But, as Joseph Shabalala would say, there is still plenty of Nomathemba left for me. After Saturday’s performance I will never forget Ladysmith […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on February 7, 2008.
Worlds of Fingerman
Worlds of Fingerman. With a name like that, who wouldn’t be intrigued? As one of the oddest, and yet most fascinating, performances I have ever seen, Gaia Teatro’s “Worlds of Fingerman” made its American debut at the Phillips Center Friday night; and I can honestly say that Fingerman definitely rocked my world. A soaring hand-made […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on February 7, 2008.

Tango Buenos Aires
Last week, I had the privilege of attending Tango Buenos Aires with Suzy, another team member from the Student Marketing Team. During the pre-performance discussion, there were many questions asked about their dancing techniques and the music from the show, but what got the most attention was the last question, asking the steps of the […]Filed under Student Marketing Team Blog on November 26, 2007.
