I've had WAY TOO MUCH fun at Boy Beach in my time to mention here. 😁😈

I'm a NYC native, so I remember the P-Town PH WAAAAAAAAY before NYU had anything to do with it. One of the Village's BEST venues. And it's sister venue in P-Town (The Provincetown Theater) itself is also a LEGENDARY venue.

The JKB Theater was DEFINITELY one of the reasons why Skidmore ended up being so high on my "Target" college list. The Zankel Music Center & Skidmore's Film & Media Studies Program were also ALL strong departments with excellent facilities as well. Skidmore wasn't AS interdisciplinary as my #1 choice college in Massachusetts, where I could COMPLETELY integrate my Theater, Music & Film work in a seamlessly interdisciplinary academic way though. Despite that, I REALLY liked Skidmore; it's DEFINITELY strong in the arts which is why I chose it to begin with.

The thing I ALWAYS ❤️'d about Brooklyn WAS it's campus. It's one of the more beautiful CUNY campuses (imho) because of the outdoor spaces like East Quad & the Lily Pond.
