Better Than the Beach
Posted by Hope Rehak on 6/25/2010
Over the weekend, I attended a family wedding. Relative after relative inquired what I was doing this summer. “An internship,” I said. “I’m interning at a theater.” I wasn’t sure who of my extended family would understand how excited I am to be working at Steppenwolf for three months.
“Ugh,” one of my cousins said. “You work nine to five? That’s not fun, that’s a job!” There we were, on a beautiful beach, and all I could think was how many conversations and events I was missing out on back here at the administrative offices, how long I’d been away from my desk, how much I wanted to be back in this amazing environment.
