Time In Between Shows

From Becca, Literary Intern

After You Can’t Take It With You opened, I have had a lot of time working in the office. For a few weeks my main focus was reading off the literary shelf, which means reading plays that have been submitted to the theater and then writing script reports. I also have been writing letters to playwrights and agents.

After all this reading I started working on my actor packet for the next show I get to work on, Betrayal. I have spent some serious time at the Seattle Public Library and the library at University of Washington. So for the past couple of weeks I have been doing a lot of research and writing about London in the 1970’s. Rehearsals start on Friday so before then I need to make sure my packet looks good and then assemble them for everyone in the rehearsal room.

I guess some other intern highlights would be our skit and working on the Playwriting Project. For this program the Rep invites high school students to perform the new work they have created with the help of teaching artists and interns. I helped with tech last week and it was great to see how excited the high schoolers were to be making theater in the Leo K.
