I
always
come

such
a
positive
feeling

for

 I
was
a
performance
intern
at
the
Little
Theatre
for
two
years
while
I
was
in
college.
The
experience


 was
invaluable,
as
were
the
many
contacts
I
made.
I
was
an
onstage
performer,
but
there
are
also


 opportunities
for
instrumentalists
in
the
pit
orchestra.
