Bring on the interns!

The summer interns have arrived, infusing our entire building with a new fever-pitch of energy. And that means it is time to turn Behind the Curtain over to their capable hands.

So, let me take this opportunity to introduce Jordan, or PR/Marketing Interns. Jordan will be taking the helm here, bringing you insight into the camps, classes and student productions that make summer so much fun at SCT.

Hi everyone, my name is Jordan Gilbertson and I’m the PR & Marketing intern for the 2009 Summer Season. I’m originally from the Seattle area — or the Eastside, at least, which sort of counts — but for the past 3 years I’ve been at Amherst College, Massachusetts as a Political Science major. I’ve learned a lot, but never had the chance to get acquainted with the workings of the professional theatrical or PR/Marketing communities. I’m honored to be a part of something with such a great mission and sense of purpose, especially seeing as I still have no idea where my life is headed professionally.

I was raised on some of the outstanding productions they’ve had here in the past. In fact, one of my earliest childhood memories is of a Seattle Children’s Theatre show. Point is, this theatre has had a genuine formative impact on me, and I’m excited to help spread the word about the programs here.

Over the summer, this blog is going to introduce some of the other passionate and talented interns and staff helping run this year’s Summer Season. Hopefully, you’ll get a chance to see all of the work and passion that goes into making SCT productions such great experiences for youth and parents alike.

I look forward to seeing you at one of our Summer Season productions!
