You met Cassandra before on From the Classroom when she was featured as Un-American's light board operator. Now, she's back as a high school intern at Signature Theatre. We thought we'd take this chance to get to know her a little better. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back Cassandra:

School Internship
Internship Start
Date: March 5th
Internship Duties: This
past week I helped out the Marketing Department by placing Brother Russia and Really Really posters in the windows of Shirlington
Village shops and
restaurants and help prepare letters to go out to those on the mailing list. I
also had a chance to look at the English and American translations of God of Carnage and took notes on the
differences, picking up on the cultural changes but also differences in the
theatrical choices. I also received the chance to sit in on a Brother Russia rehearsal in which they rehearsed a number
from the show and tweaked various technical aspects of the show.
Favorite Things About
Signature: The rainbow lit stairs leading up the lobby, the coziest lounge
in the world, the professional but still loving and community vibe Signature
has (the people and the building itself)
Favorite Things About
D.C.: Chinatown. Can metro/take the bus almost anywhere, the vast amount of theatreopportunities available. Georgetown
waterfront on a sunny day. Georgetown Cupcakes. The Kettlecorn popcorn at Eastern Market.
General Cool Things
About You: I write original shows (music, dance and dialogue) with my best
friends. I rock at lip synching. I can do some intense eye-browing-raising .
Pretty amazing Jim Carrey as Count Olaf (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events)
imitation.
You have been elected
student body president. Give us the last 30 seconds of my acceptance speech:
“…and lastly, as your student body president, I can guarantee that glitter will
be a necessity to every event in order to ensure the utmost joy with each
experience. I am proud to be named your president and I shall not fail you all!”
