It's going to be hard, confusing, and totally amazing. At least, that's the feeling I got in the interview yesterday. The executive director, Gary, assumed I knew a lot more about British theatre practices and people than I actually did. I should probably do some research today. However, it's a three person office and from the conversation, it seemed like I would be getting all sorts of interesting tasks. Not only that, but they plan to bring me to many shows and introduce me to important people. Like Mark Rylance, Artistic Director of the Globe! I couldn't be happier with the internship.
I did run into my first major culture issue however. They charge for theatre programs! They wanted two and a half pounds for a one last night and after asking another theatre goer, I was told this is universal in the city. I certainly can't afford that, it's an extra five dollars a show. My goal is to see 50 shows. You do the math, it makes me too upset. Oh well, postcards are an adequate substitute, at least those are free- you can't really charge for promotion materials, can you? So I'll have something to remember each show.
