Summertime & the Livin' is THEATRICAL!

Hello friends who actually enjoy reading what I have to say!
I haven't posted for a long while because I've been a busy bee. After my study abroad class in the Netherlands ended, I headed straight to good ol' Spencer, IA and started my internship at the Spencer Community Theatre. I must say, I LOVE it here. If I could do this full-time, I think I would take that offer. I teach classes during the day and at night have play rehearsals.

The first show we  did was "Back to the 80's, the Totally Awesome Musical." I gotta say, it was "totally awesome!" I was the stage manager for the production and had "The Time of My Life" calling fun cues like fog... GO... Mirror Ball... GO... & Mr. Miyagi Voice over...GO!!!
The play was like a stereotypical high school sitcom. There was your nerd character, Feargal, who sang "Video Killed the Radio Star" and evidently helped Bill Gates/ "Gatesy" invent the internet! There was also a Star Wars dream sequence. Yup, Yoda mask and all! So, you know that we had a blast with this show!
