About This Blog

Hello and welcome to “The Moravian Stage”, a blog about the performing arts at Moravian College!

Allow me to introduce myself.  I’m Kayla, your blog host and a junior here at Moravian. 

How did I get into blogging?

I began blogging last fall semester as part of my online journalism class, where I hosted another blog about the arts at Moravian (if you’d like, you can check out my former blog here).  It was a great way to get started in writing for online and I learned a lot in the process.

Then, at the beginning of this semester, I approached the public relations department about becoming a work study student.  When they learned about my blog for the online journalism class, they asked me if I would want to continue blogging as part of my work study and now, here I am!

Why the performing arts?

Well, for starters, I have been involved in the performing arts for most of my life.  I began singing in my elementary school choir in 3rd grade, began dancing at a local studio at age 11, and began community and high school theatre at age 15.  I love the performing arts and cannot imagine my life without them.

My love of the performing arts has continued into college as well.  Here at Moravian, I am actively involved in the performing arts as a member of:
  • The Moravian Choir
  • Vocalis
  • Women’s Chorus
  • The Moravian College Dance Company
  • The Moravian College Theatre Company

In addition, I am a double major in music and journalism, so this blog is the perfect amalgam of both my passions. 

What is the purpose of this blog?

The purpose of this blog is to inform people about the performing arts at Moravian, specifically focusing on the people and events relating to music, dance, and theatre.  In doing so, I hope to get more people involved in the performing arts, whether it be as performers or as an audience members.

So, get ready because the curtain is rising on The Moravian Stage!  Places everyone...it's show time!
