The Opening showcase. A long standing tradition at Muse University for the Fine Arts. What started as just a simple gathering of the incoming students has now grown into one of the biggest events of the school year. New students come get a taste of what they've been accepted into for their higher education career while returning students get a chance to display their craft.
Each department picks a handful of students to work on their presentation at this Opening Showcase, a true honor. If you're picked by your department to represent the school to the incoming Freshman, it means heaven's gates have been opened to you. Students who excel in representing the University will have their pick of the liter for agents, jobs, studios, etc. Wherever they choose to go following graduation, they will have no hardships in seeking acceptance.

Having been remodeled in the late 1970s, the Theatre Arts building is an impressive sight to behold. While being updated more recently, the structure still pays homage to it's humble beginnings as it gives a more vintage, european vibe. It stands tall and mighty, leaving most new students in awe, but there are a good handful of returning students that never get tired of seeing the majestic building.
Upon entering, students will notice a number of glass display cases strategically places throughout the foyer & overflowing into the hallways. These display cases hold the projects of the Visual Arts students. There are many canvases filled with masterpieces of paint, chalk, pencil and various other mediums. There are some sculpted busts and ceramic pieces whose glazes catch the lights in the perfect way to sparkle, proving the talent of their makers.
Although, there isn't just the glass cases in the foyer, there are also a handful of different screens that are displaying the work of the Digital Arts students. Some students created beautiful animation, some filmed short films, some even created bits of a video game for students to come test out. Screens and glass cases alike are all accompanied by plaques that inform viewers of the piece; including the title of the piece, a short description, and the artists behind each piece. Students can either be around their pieces, ready to make conversation, or wander around to view the other pieces of the night.
Students who happen to wander further into the halls might stumble into a classroom that has multiple paperback books on display on the desks. Some of the Literature Arts students specialize in novels, those students that were chosen for the Opening Showcase wrote short stories to showcase their talents. However, not all the Literature Arts students are novelists; Some are playwrights and poets, and those students will have the chance to showcase their talents in the Florence Auditorium.
Walking into the Florence Auditorium will take any student's breath away, or anyone who has an appreciation and passion for performing. The flagship auditorium of Muse University spans tall and wide, show-goers having the crane their neck backwards just to try and see the height of the celling. And while the auditorium sits right around one thousand people in the audience, there's no need to fear being able to see the stage. The stage is massive, and has seating on the sides as well, seemingly pulling itself into the audience.
For the Opening Showcase, the rest of the Literature Arts, Musical Arts & Theatre Arts students share the stage. Going between original songs and scores, reading their own poetry, and acting snippets from the previously mentioned playwrights' scenes, feel free to come and go throughout the night to get a taste of all the talent in the Florence Auditorium
During the last hour of the showcase, everyone is ushered into the Auditorium and asked to take a seat. All the other Showcase students hurry around to put a makeshift stage down the two side isles leading to the stage as the lights are turned off, all except the lights along the isles of course. They prepare for a fashion show, put on by the University's very own Fashion Arts students. Some of the students designed the clothes on the models, others are the very models themselves. This fashion show is always the most memorable part of the night & returning students always have the most hype about it.
Classes begin the day after the Opening Showcase, causing a lot of students to view it as a last day of freedom. Many students tend to just hang out in their dorms at the end of the night, getting to know their new neighbors throughout the building, but rumor has it there might be a pretty intense pool party on the roof of Porter Hall following the fashion show. Who knows, you'll have to see for yourself!
