Hello! I'm one of the other interns ANWintern mentioned in her last post. I'm a Development intern, and I'm working with ANW's Individual Giving Manager for the summer.
Here's a little bit about me:
My mother inspired my interest in theater. She's a playwright, so I went to a lot of plays and readings growing up. I've taken a lot of literature classes in high school and in college, and have read a great deal of Shakespeare.
I would have loved to have seen ANW's production of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. I'm a huge fan of Russian literature. My love for the literature inspired me to take Russian language classes just so I could read works like Crime and Punishment in the original Russian. I also have a Russian Studies concentration in school.
Besides theater, I'm also passionate about film and music. I used to work for a nonprofit cinema (also in Development), and now I'm the editor of the film section of a local magazine. I also write music reviews for the same magazine. It's really fun, and being published is always nice!
That's all for now, as I need to get back to my project at ANW. I'm working on creating a corporate sponsorship program. It's a big project and I'm so excited that I get to contribute to it. I'll tell you more about it in my next post!

I think you would have really enjoyed Crime & Punishment. It's one of my favorite novels and I loved our production! That's so cool that you're able to read Russian literature in Russian! I had a professor in undergrad who was from Moscow and she would always tell us that if we could all read Chekhov in Russian, we'd like it a lot more AND we'd understand that many of his works are really funny.
