One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Together with 60 students and 5 professionals, we organized theater shows of the Musical "Hair" for 1500 people. With the core team of 6 students, we produced the whole process from auditions and interviews to adjusting the sheet music for the live band and putting together a team that built the decor.
It was a beautiful process where we behaved like Hippies:) I made a lot of close friends in this year.
