Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome...

My name is Dana, and I'm a double major at Towson University in Theatre Studies and Journalism & New Media. What a perfect way to fuse my two passions here on a blog about all things theatrical.

As the title of this blog (and the subject line from 'Cabaret') suggests, this is theatre people central! By that, I mean not people who are simply interested in theatre or who attend plays frequently or have been to Broadway, although you are certainly welcome. But the term 'theatre people' implies a community with a more significant connection to the art, one where members are are actively involved in the discipline, whether it's performing, designing sets, hanging lights, sewing costumes, directing, casting, running a theatre, teaching drama, whatever. We're all theatre people because this passion has taken a forefront in our lives to the point that we've become immersed in this world somehow. And often our passion for this art allows us to share that experience with the rest of the world in the form of a production or the first reading of a new translation of a play or young playwriting festivals.

Much work and detail goes into this art, and this is a space to experience all of it, comment on it, and perfect it through respectful sharing of opinion. Several theatre enthusiasts, like Blogway Baby, are already out there blogging about the Great White Way and beyond. But this is the theatre world from my eyes, created for people in theatre about theatre and without limitations, and I hope it's useful and entertaining to all who decide to become a part of it.

Until next time, I remain your faithful Drama Queen.
