...Hill now notes that much of his studies have been related to theater. Hill considered going directly into a graduate program for theater performance but now plans to move to New York to start auditioning for professional productions. While looking ahead, Hill recalls his first audition for an off-Broadway show. During the middle of final exams period in 2006, he traveled down to New York for a casting call for the revival of “The Fantasticks” in 2006. “I had said that if it comes back, I’m going...

...advice he heard Oprah Winfrey give about putting your grievances down on paper, he wrote exorcising letters to himself and turned them into his first play, I Know I've Been Changed.

...Broadway is about to welcome two more unconventional shows from off-Broadway that are hoping to reel in the sort of people who have traditionally turned their noses up, and their iPods off, at show-tunes-style musicals. One of them, Passing Strange, is an idiosyncratic mix of rock concert and theatrical bildungsroman, presided over by a Los Angeles-based alt-rocker named Stew. The other, In the Heights, is a Latin- and hip-hop-flavored love letter to the Hispanic neighborhood of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan.

...photo-equipment shops. Fashion designers can find any fabric sample among the garment-industry retailers on Seventh Avenue. The local cultural eco-structure combines nonprofit institutions that can take chances on commercially risky productions with profitmaking enterprises seeking big returns. This means that an actress can work in an off-Broadway production of The Seagull at night and still make the rent shooting a TV spot during the day. Meanwhile, a critical mass of institutions of higher education - the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Parsons School of Design, the Julliard...
