I'd Want To Live My Life Too

From Kiki, Audience Development Intern

Another day, another blog. Here are some extra projects I've gotten to work on to spice up the old resume and keep it interesting around here:

1. We do these things called Warm Ups before our performances and the way we describe it is: a pre-show interactive workshop to get you into the mindset of the play. Yeah, you're drooling just thinking about it. Well I was given the opportunity to write, research and perform one. We're doing The Seafarer in the Bagley Wright Theatre and it is set in Baldoyle Ireland. So my Warm Up is called Talk Irish with Kelly (my more Irish sounding real first name) and I teach patrons how to perform an Irish Dialect. People seem to be loving it. I'm just glad that I (so far) haven't lost track of what I was saying and stood there mumbling like an idiot. But hey, I do this 5 more times, so keep your fingers crossed.

2. Our Communications Manager, Joanna, let me be in charge of our Lobby Displays. We have these huge double-sided pannels that we put background information on for our patrons to peruse before and after the show. So I got to go through all of our publication materials (Offstage, online and Encore, our program) and pull out the relevant information that I liked and kind of put it all together for Seafarer and Betrayal. Then our Graphic Design intern Andry took all of my copy and created these huge pieces of paper chock full of cool facts and designs. They look amazing, Andry is pretty awesome, and it's fun to watch patrons reading them night to night.

3. Other than that I've been proof reading up a storm, organizing Subscriber Backstage Tours, looking for jobs, and coordinating Intern Applications. So, APPLY. This could be you.
