WaterTower plans on expanding, and it plans on expanding fast. So, here in the development department we have been working on putting together various “groups” and clubs for people to join that revolve around the theatre, but are tailored to their specific interests.

One of the interns I work with found a framed photo of an illustrious member of the theatre community and it now hangs above “intern row” (the row of computers where the interns sit). Yes, Stephen Sondheim is smiling down on us. Oh, I forgot. I also got to go into the merchandise closet. Let’s just say, […]

So this past week was awesome yet again. The working nights and weekends thing is getting kind of old, but luckily the house managers and other interns are enough fun to quickly pass the time before and after the intermission.

Conor Mcpherson also wrote the script for our current mainstage production Port Authority which feature […]
