                                                                      Exercise 6      

The 8 most important things on my trip to New York were:

1)      Being in Times Square

2)      Getting professional voice, acting, and dance classes everyday

3)      Seeing 6 Broadway shows in 3 weeks

4)      Meeting really cool people who work on Broadway

5)      Making great new friends

6)      Playing music on the floors

7)      The nightly site visits

8)      And of course, the food

The thread connecting all of these is the fact that they are all a part of this one amazing camp. Each new bullet adds to the amazingness in a bottle that is Passport NYC.

Seeing 6 Broadway Shows in 3 Weeks

Seeing 6 shows in a matter of 3 weeks was pretty crazy. What was even more crazy about it this year was the fact that we only saw 1 show week 1 and 3 shows 3 nights in a row week 2. That was a crazy, exhausting week. 2 of the 3 shows were late night starts, so we wouldn’t get back to the 92^nd Street Y until midnight usually.

Making Great New Friends

People come to Passport NYC from all over the world. It’s amazing. There were two counselors from Israel, a girl from Spain, a guy from Canada, and a guy from Guatemala. They also come from all over the states. There was a girl from San Diego, a girl from Texas, and a guy from Cincinnati (huh, wonder who that was?). There were some amazing talented people at camp. We would have jam sessions on our floors every night, it was so much fun. People brought there guitars, ukuleles, bongos, trumpets, etc. and we just kept on playing until it was time to go to bed. There were some really cool people there with some of the same interests as me and we could talk for hours.

Meeting Really Cool People on Broadway

We met some incredible people while there. We got to see every aspect of Broadway, and that there are infinite ways to work on Broadway. From directing and producing, to lighting and costume design.

The Food

The food was really good at camp. They had a catering company take care of all three of our meals. Breakfast was buffet style and usually consisted of some sort of egg dish, bagels, yogurt, and cereal. Lunch was a boxed lunch that we took to class and ate there and we had the chose of certain wraps, salads, or sandwiches. Dinner was buffet style and each night had a different theme for example, Chinese night or Italian night.
