"Pre-Game"

Hello Followers!

On Wednesday I am starting an internship in the Development Department at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, MN. I am super excited to be working at the Guthrie and to be experiencing life at a large regional theater setting. This is going to be a challenging environment, but something that I really hope I will thrive at. In the Development Department I will be helping with special events, doing the computer programming behind donations and ticket orders, and also research associated with donations as the Guthrie is a non-profit organization. I will also get four free tickets to a performance of the shows that the Guthrie is presenting this summer ("Dollhouse", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Scottsboro Boys"). Along with that there are lots of other opportunities to learn during this internship including brown bag discussions where the whole theater listens to the directors and designers of each show and hear their visions, possibly being at dress rehearsals, and one-on-one sessions about networking and getting myself out there. I will be documenting all that I learn about theaters and how they work as well as what I learn about myself and where I want to be after college. Keep checking the blog and I'll keep posting! *Left ear tug*
