3 down, 3 to go.

With the close of Dead Man Walking this last weekend, (which was awesome. If you didn't see it, you're just plain stupid.) we are now half way through our 09-10 season. Well, sort of half way. Close enough. It's pretty crazy to think that we've come this far. At least, it feels far to me. I just started working here right before Judas opened. So, yeah. Halfway there.
Once again, we are in a lull between shows. However, it's a whole lot less dull than the usual between-show break. We've got a spotlight series show, Smoke, that's playing this weekend. Each of us interns will be taking turns stage managing the show. I really don't know too much about the show other than it's a one woman show, but what I do know sounds interesting. We shall see. Oh, and if you want to come see it, tickets are only $20. Hey, you might even run into me there. Or Beth. Or Gilly. Or none of us. We may just be holed up in the booth being antisocial. At least, that's my game plan.
Well, that's it from me. I'm going to go back to trying to instate naptime as a routine thing. Wish me luck.

Whaaaa?

No posts since January? For shame! What can I say, though? It's been busy over here at City Lights. Dead Man Walking has been going great and getting rave reviews. Therefore, ticket orders have been coming in by the bushel.

By.
The.
Bushel.

And I didn't even know ticket orders could come in the form of bushels! Oh the wondrous things I learn working here at City Lights... But seriously, if you want to make it to DMW, you've only got one last weekend. So get on that ASAP. And believe me, it's a show that you should, nay, a show you need make an effort to make it out to see. It is one of the best pieces of theatre I've seen in a while. Really. Get off your booty and out to see this show.
In other news, we are getting going on picking out our next season. I have been forbade from talking about the upcoming season AT ALL, but I can say that I'm genuinely excited for things to come. Of course, I don't know for sure what's coming up, but after seeing all our options, it's looking like a great group of shows.
Anyways, that's about it from me. Hopefully you'll all hear more from my fellow interns soon, but that remains to be seen... *cough* *cough*
Keep it real. Keep it awesome.

A Strange Work Week

The weird thing about working in theatre is that your work week starts when most other people are thinking about the weekend. That is because we *are* the entertainment of the masses. You're welcome. My schedule in particular is weird: work Friday afternoon, house managing Saturday night, crewing and strike on Sunday, Monday off (another weird coincidence) and then Tuesday work. Well, anyway, I think it's weird.

Now that we have a lovely newly painted floor in the lobby and bathrooms, we've got to keep it looking spiffy. To contribute to that, I mopped them today, singing show tunes and Disney songs to not get bored. And, I'm not kidding, the water which used to be clear when I started was nearly black when I finished. Then again, we hadn't actually gotten around to doing it for three weeks, so if we do it at least once a week, we should be fine. And we do it for you!

Closing weekend! Wow that's really exciting. It looks like we might sell out, at least for our closing matinee, which is also exciting. So come on down and don't make a liar out of me!

Lastly, I think I speak for all the interns (and the rest of the staff) when I say have a wonderful and safe holiday and a lovely new year!
