I was fortunate enough to live 2 blocks from Krannert during college and I took full advantage of this. You see, I decided to major in something practical, but dreamed of being a dancer. Since I lacked any real dancing skill, that was out of the question.
But I did get to enjoy many fun ballet and tap classes in the pits of Krannert Center. So, while earning an hour of credit, I was also able to pretend that I was a Rockette in training.
Overall, not a bad deal!
I used to love seeing plays in the smaller theatres, which were incredibly intimate. For less than a cheap beer at a campus bar, you could see a really great show.
Two of my friends even got married here after meeting as volunteer ushers!
