Theater major Jungmin Kang ’16 writes in to the theater program about his recent theater experiences beyond Colgate:
“I had a theater-related internship over the summer and I’m seeing some great theater here in Korea [where I am studying abroad]… [O]ver the summer I interned with the Glimmerglass Opera Festival. I was the music intern, but somehow I got cast as an extra in Madame Butterfly.
I also made good friends with a lot of the production staff, and got to see how a large-scale performance company really pulls the shows together. In Korea I’m taking a Criticism in Performing Arts class, which [involves] seeing a lot of the local theater and writing reviews. It’s really great, and there’s a lot I’m learning, although there are also things that are frustrating, after Colgate’s theater and the NYC plays I saw.”
