Day 60

Today was just an interesting day.

It started off with a child getting bullied (which is ironic because we are doing a frickin' musical about bullying) and being asked to look at a girl's poop.

The child was being bullied because some students thought he had been seen going home with his microphone on. And they thought this was an appropriate thing to make fun of him for. So a good portion of my morning was yelling at students for making fun of him and comforting this child. He apparently did not take his microphone home but I guess he must have misplaced it at the theatre somewhere. But anyway he got bullied. Poor kid.

The girl was making me look at her poop because she thought her stomach was bleeding. But really her poop was reddish because she ate a cupcake yesterday with pink frosting... So I got the honor of checking out her poop and then convincing her that she was definitely going to be alright. Oh the perks of being an intern.

Then for the rest of the day I helped with costumes and quick changes and all that jazz. It wasn't that bad but it definitely wasn't entertaining. But it was a great rehearsal and we are very much ready for an audience! Tomorrow night is our first performance! I can't wait.


This evening I went with Logan, Melanie, and Logan's mom to go see a show at the Guthrie. Yes, THE GUTHRIE! And yes, it was so fucking awesome. We saw the show God Of Carnage which is a comedy. It was so frickin' hilarious. I haven't laughed like that for that long in a while. It was easily one of the best shows I have ever seen.

After the show, we went to explore the building a little bit. They have this part of the building called the "Endless Bridge". Which is this piece of the building that sticks out on top of the Mississippi River. What a beautiful view! Here are some pictures!!!







It was a great night with a good show and good friends.

Tomorrow is one of my last days at CTC....I still have Saturday (And I am going in on Monday for a half day to watch Debra's rehearsal) but tomorrow will still be a sad day. It will be the last day to see a lot of my friends I have made at CTC. This experience has been incredible and I am so soooo happy I decided to take a risk and leave Michigan for the summer and come to this wonderful theatre. It has been perfect.
