Curtainbox Theatre Co, Eleventh (and Final!) Post

This was my last week at the Curtainbox. During class on Monday, we spent almost the entire time working on scenes, but unfortunately I had to miss a good portion of the rehearsal period because I was working on making a spread of headshots from people auditioning for a film that Kim is casting. This was still a fun project, and through going through the headshots, many of which had resumes attached, I learned a lot about different types of headshots and ideas of how to format a resume. I was able to join the class when they were done rehearsing, and the last part of the class was devoted to having a birthday party for two of our students. This was a nice way to end my time with the kids, as I got a chance to talk to them and their parents, which is something I don't normally get to do because our classes have to be so structured to prevent the kids from feeling overwhelmed or nervous. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with these children, and it is sad that I had to leave midterm.

Wednesday was officially my last day at the office. I was only there for an hour and a half, so it wasn't a very eventful day. I did get a taste of scriptwriting though, as we needed to reset the answering machine message, so I typed up what should be said. I don't think I'm going to win any awards for it, but at least it's a start! I also typed up some announcements for the acting showcases each acting class has at the end of the term. I was a little sad to end my internship, but Kim and I talked about doing some coaching over Christmas break, so I'm not saying goodbye to the Curtainbox yet.
