Saturday night I went on my first CTC intern outing. Our supervisors are really great about getting free tickets to shows in the area. This time we got free tickets to see the University of Minnesota's Centennial Showboat. We went and saw "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" AKA Sweeney Todd. The musical "Sweeney Todd" is my favorite musical, so I had no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't like this show. And I was not disappointed, at all. It was the same story line as the musical but without the music. The best part about this show was that is was a melodrama. Which means that the theatre encouraged the audience to interact with the show. So we were told we could cheer, boo, hiss, etc. whenever there was a good guy, bad guy, something good happening, something bad happening etc. It really kept the audience entertained and we felt for the characters/story even more. They also had little breaks in the show where they had the actors sing songs and dance. These little numbers were hilarious and normally had nothing to do with the actual show. It was just to keep us entertained.
It was a wonderful night and it was nice getting to know some more of my fellow interns. Sean says he is going to get us free tickets to the Guthrie Theatre next!!! Which is one of the places I have been wanting to go to since I knew I was coming to Minneapolis.
Sunday- Stone Arch Festival: Festival of the Arts in St. Paul
Today I worked from 9:30am to 6pm at a CTC booth at the Stone Arch Festival. We created star fans with the children. We also handed out a whole hell of a lot of coloring books that had CTC's next season in them. The children could color scenes and characters from the coming up plays. We walked a lot around the huge festival handing out these coloring books. I am SO tired, my neck hurts and my ankles are throbbing. So I should go to bed soon...after I take a shower, of course.
This weekend was filled with CTC things, as well as last week and this coming up week. Tomorrow I start the camp with 4th-6th graders working on Cinderella. It should be very fun and right up my alley.
I hope you all had a wonderful Father's day!!!
