BAM Harvey Theatre and A Doll's House

Wholey Moley it's March!

While this is a sign that NYC will be saying sayonara to sub-freezing temperatures soon, it is also a little reminder that I only have three more months of my freshman year. And there is a lot of stuff I want to pack into these next three months. A lot.

Thursday night I made a trip to the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theatre to see Ibsen's A Doll's House. My friend and I had been working on the play in acting class and were stoked to see a professional production.It was incredible, go see it ASAP. (It closes on March 16th!)

• The theatre is easy to access. You can talk the Q Downtown, get off at DeKalb Ave, walk for 6 minutes, and you are there.
• Student Rush tickets are CHEAP. Like $11.50 cheap. Just make sure you have your school id and regular id. We got there an hour before curtain and the box office was extremely kind with giving us the best seats available.
• BAM supports incredible artists. You will see extremely talented, award winning performers and theatre that will give you goosebumps and make you think. The shows are both educational and entertaining. 
• In the gap of time between buying your tickets and the house opening, you can stroll on over to El Toro for a quick dinner. Imagine a combo of Chipotle and Dos Toros. The prices are reasonable and the quesadillas are killer. It's fast and filling, and the close proximity makes it a great option. (89 Fort Greene Place and cash only)
• Upon entering the theatre, you will automatically feel like a hipster. The walls are elegantly in distress, exposed beams and light bulbs are sprinkled in the lobby, and the luxurious carpet is very posh. Your insta pic of you looking classy, in the lobby, getting ready for the show will make your friends either A) jealous or B) think you are super cool.

Check out the review of the show from the New York Times here.

So, try BAM. Take your visitors there(it will impress them you can maneuver yourself around Brooklyn). Experience shows that will leave you feeling inspired.

Have a fabulous week.
