Time Management and Show Tickets!

    The past two weeks have been crazy busy in Beauty and the Beast rehearsals here at ONU! Last week we blocked all of Act I and this week we have started on Act II. If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please go to https://www.onu.edu/freed and take a look!

    I have so many notes in so many different places – I definitely need to get everything organized this weekend before we start our week of show run-throughs. I am realizing that it is hard to maintain the lifestyle I typically follow when I am taking class, working at the costume shop for a few hours each week, and stage managing our fall show. I am usually very organized: I make my bed every morning, I wash dishes as soon as I finish using them, I put all of my papers in the correct folders/binders, and I always take notes in places that are labeled with what they include. Unfortunately, these past few weeks I have had to wake up in the mornings to get some last-minute homework done and I don’t always have time to make my bed. I hate leaving dishes in the sink, but I sometimes I don’t have the time to get them cleaned and put away before I leave for rehearsal. I will say, I am proud of the organization I have maintained with my paper copies and physical items – especially pertaining to rehearsal elements. It is true that my digital notes are a bit of a junk pile, but I am planning to fix that up this weekend! I think it is a good thing that I am able to recognize these things, because then I can put those thoughts out of my mind in the rehearsal room and focus on the tasks at hand and maintain a positive energy! And now I know what I can work on when I find the time. 🎭

    Hi Emily! I cannot wait to hear how the musical goes! I went to see Beauty and The Beast when I was in high school, it was a small performance put on by our schools theater department. It was definitely a super fun experience as Beauty and The Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. Good luck to you and the rest of your peers, hope to hear more soon.

    Emily, you are doing so well as our stage manager and I know it’s because of how much work you do inside AND outside of rehearsals. Going into this with no experience, and doing as well as you are is so impressive and I hope you are proud of yourself. I know your peers are for sure, and were so thankful for you!

Essentials of Social Media Marketing Textbook Review

     Essentials for Social Media Marketing has been a really beneficial resource for this course and easy to navigate. I know now that I did not utilize the textbook to its full extent in the first half of the semester because I didn’t really have the time to sit down and explore the different elements in each chapter. However, in the second half of this semester, I really took advantage of the PowerPoints and chapter quizzes to familiarize myself with the material and study for the final exam.      I feel like the content in each chapter was very easy to understand and the layout of each section made sense to me. I had an online textbook in my history course over the summer and that was a nightmare for me – it was all text with very minimal headings or chapter organization. This online textbook was so easy to work with and made the information easier to comprehend. I definitely liked the set-up much better than any other experience with an online textbook material.      The simulation

Chapter 13 Reflection

     This week in “Essentials of Social Media Marketing”, I read about social media marketing campaigns. I think this is really interesting and is probably the chapter that ties the most to my Arts Administration minor. In Arts Admin, even this semester in Grant Writing, we always talk about the many campaigns and processes run in order to keep a non-profit successful and to promote their work. Next fall, I will be taking Arts Marketing & Audience Development, which will tie even more into the idea of creating, planning, and overseeing a marketing campaign. I believe that is actually the final project for that course. It is cool to have some prior experience learning about a more specific kind of marketing campaign through this class – a social media marketing campaign.      Now, I know that currently I do not use many social media sites for my own personal use. However, I feel like taking this course is preparing me for using social media when it comes to Arts Administration and p

Social Media Podcast

     I made my first ever podcast this weekend! Our podcast assignment was intended to discuss social media issues and topics. I knew right away after looking at the rubric who I wanted to join me in this podcast. Ruthie Osowski is our Social Media Coordinator for ONU Theatre Arts and, she manages all of our social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. She was also that main person in charge of our social media content during the run of Beauty and the Beast.    We discussed some really interesting topics, including how she got her position with ONU Theatre Arts, what some challenges are as it pertains to social media managing, what her process was like for planning the content in regard to Beauty and the Beast, some of the issues she had to deal with on different social media platforms with B&B content and, her personal take on the differences between running a personal social media account versus a professional social media account.      Ruthie is a year above me but,
