About my internship at peoples light and theatre

Well, hello again. Today I decided to write a post about my internship at peoples light and theatre.
Before I  start rambling of about my internship, you should know a little background about this wonderful theatre. People's light and theatre is a non-profit professional theatre.  The theatre was founded in 1974 and it is in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This company produces 8 to 9 productions each season. On the Campus of Peoples light and theatre there are 2 stages. They are called the Main stage which seats about 350 people and the Steinbright Stage which is a smaller stage and it fits about 170 people. This company has approximately 25 resident actors and actresses. Many of the resident actors and actresses have won several barrymore awards in multiple catergories. Along with the resident actors and actresses they also have about 200 guest actors from all over the country. So, thats a little background of people's light but now its time to get to the exciting infomation on my internship. Well, I started my internship 3 weeks ago and I work every thursday afternoon from 12:30 until 2pm. I am working with the assistant director of marketing. In other words I am a marketing Intern. The first day I was introduced to everyone, and they are all so friendly and outgoing, which are the types of personalities you need in a theatre. After I met everyone I got my own personal tour, which was very informative. Then I put together press kits for the opening night of Don Quixote, which I will have to say was a great job for my first day. On my second day I put together mailing packages for the libraries, theatres, and churches. I filled the packages with a lot of Community Matters postcards and also 1 letter from peoples light and theatre in each package. I got all of them done with time to spare. Then on my third day I got assigned to make a blog which is this one. Yay! Througout my internship I will be putting together a documentary and taking some interviews which I hope to include on this Blog. Wow! I explained everything that happened so far! Well, down below I posted a video and a picture of peoples light and theatre hope you enjoy!
