Entertainment is closer than you think

Sometimes you think that to find some quality entertainment option you have to go to other places. Yes, it is a lot of fun to go to the movies, go to the theater, watch dance performances from great companies, travel, watch musicals and all. Sometimes you just don’t have the time or money to go around doing everything you feel like.

For a college student it is hard to go out and spend money on “superficial” things, such as movies and outside performance, but you really don’t have to go so far. We have really great performances at Lindenwood. Our theater department is currently working on two productions, the musical Anything Goes, February 25th,26th and 27th and March 4th,5th and 6th in the Bezemes Family Theater. We are also working on the Shakespearian play Twelfth night that will be performed in the Emerson Black Box Theater on February 18th, 19th and the 20th. There are a lot of talented students here, and as students or faculty/staff here you get two free tickets for our student shows. For more informartion on our theater productions, student and professioanls visit LindenwoodCenter.com and check out our schedule.

We also have a very good dance program. This semester the Spring Dance Concert is choreographed only by students, including myself. I believe this Dance Concert will be really good, we also have a lot of talented dancers and choreographers. Besides these programs Lindenwood has a three time National Champion Dance Team, Lion Line is present in most of our big sporting events, and they never fail to amaze me and have the audience clapping excitingly. Here are some videos of these amazing girls, some of them will also be participating on the dance concert this semester, hope to see you guys in any of our theater/dance/arts events.






Have a great weekend! ;D;D

Airplane Watchings!

Some people are scared of death to go on an airplane. Some people simply don’t like it. Well, I never had a problem with it, and especially now that I study in the US, being in airplane is second nature to me. I got used to the guy next to me snoring, to the food, to the small space for my legs and arms. I won’t say it is the most comfortable trip ever. Airline companies try everything to make you more comfortable, and there is one thing that makes my nine hour flight go faster and makes me pay attention to something else other than all the people around, and the high we are at. Whoever had the idea of the TVs inside the airplane should win some sort of award. Those TVs are really what save me in the airplane, they give you so many different options of movies, TV shows, games, music, that I almost feel bad about falling asleep, it’s like wasting money. Anyway, putting together the “problems” of flying with one of the most popular entertainment “solutions” was truly smart.

On my last trip coming back here for the Spring semester I had the chance to watch episodes of 30 rock, which is always nice, and honestly one of the best comedic TV shows out there, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are a perfect pair, and all the cast just works really well together, using the sarcastic humor balanced with some in your face crude jokes that fit so perfectly the entertainment business portrayed on the show.

I also got to watch episodes from The Office, again one of my personal favorites. The light environment and the reality show vibe presented by the cast is a awaited for break from all the other hyper, colorful TV shows. Steve Carrel is a comedy genius, he makes his character so real and genuine that you are really sucked in into the office where the most strange, weird and extremely average people work at. I have never watched the original version, but while writing about this I remembered of a video I watched a while ago:

The Office Original?!?!

That’s it for now… I will continue my airplane “watchings” on the next post… hahaha… Have a great week everyone! ;D
Entertain!!! ;D
