Waiting, rescheduling, and more or less boredom

So. I attended my first Dog & Pony rehearsal this week. While I am not obligated to attend rehearsals, I am allowed to and therefore will try to attend as many as possible! At this particular rehearsal- January 12- the team was working on a shadow puppet element of the show. VERY cool.

I met the cast as well as rest of the crew and production team. Mainly, I did a lot of sitting around watching shadow puppets. Well what did I expect? Not much else. I couldn't attend other rehearsals this week. But from now on I will be going to rehearsal Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Exciting. Especially since the show is starting to come together.

Unfortunately my marketing meeting had to be rescheduled three different times this week. It was supposed to be on Wednesday. Then rescheduled to today. Then rescheduled to Sunday. Then I will get my next actual assignment.

This week has been focused more on me than on the internship. I've done a lot of babysitting, had some family time, watched way too much tv., and mainly- worked on my play for next semester. A bit of dramaturge work and attempting to assemble a full production team. Attending rehearsals is also in a way my preparation for my play. I really enjoy observing Devon direct- she's a really remarkable director.

However, I do hope that my workload and responsibilities pick up in the next coming weeks or I'm worried I'll get a little bored. But until then I will remain in my bed until noon playing scramble and listening to Ezra Furman and Jenny Lewis to start off my day.
