Internship!!!

I landed an internship for the summer. I'm very excited because I will get to work very closely with professional actors in a professional equity theatre. I will be at the West Virginia Public Theatre for the middle of the summer. Within seven weeks, there will be six shows being performed on one stage. That allows for one day to strike on set and erect the next one. The shows being performed are "Dream Girls", "Forever Plaid", "West Side Story", Streetcar Named Desire", "Urban Cowboys", and "The Producers". I will get to serve as an Intern Dresser. Not to be mistaken for a piece of bedroom furniture. I will physically be taking costumes off of actors and helping them into their next one. Often, this is a fast-paced chore. Again, I am very excited and hopefully I'll have some good stories and meet some important people.
