This production will also use William Shakespeare’s original staging practices which include but are not limited to:

-Doubling (actors playing more than one role)

-Self-costuming (actors select their own costumes rather than have a design imposed)

-No director (sharers oversee all rehearsals and production choices)

-Limited rehearsal time

-Use of a prompter (actors may call for line in performance)

Sharers also make all the company decisions – PR, budget, ticket prices, casting, script editing, etc.

Hope to see you there

Internship Opportunity

Hi everyone My name is Brett Dregge and I am here to let you know about an intership opportunity that I have found out about while working here in Maryland for anyone interested.

I am adjusting well in Maryland and enjoying my job. Reagan (theatre major, class of ‘07) is working part time in the box office and enjoying it. I was trying to remember people who worked in the shop and were graduating soon or would like to take a break for an internship. The Olney Theatre Center is desperately seeking interns for the shop. The internship is supposed to be a year long but they may be willing to make exceptions. Intership information is available online at www.olneytheatre.org or you can have people email me and I will pass information on to my boss.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing those of you who are interested in this internship here at the Olney Theatre some point in the future.
