Plans
I plan to attend a 4-year University to peruse a degree in musical theater or business. I am still waiting on my decisions from my musical theater applications, but I recently got into the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State University, which is my current top option. After college (if I am a musical theater major) I plan to move to New York City to pursue musical theater and audition for Broadway performances. If I am a business major, I am interested in management or real estate development.
