Very careful (and somewhat older) readers of City Paper may remember Hillary as our then-high-school intern who waxed philosophic about selling lemonade and being an Aquabat Aqua-Cadet.
Hillary is now taking part in the Arden's Professional Apprenticeship program and wrote a "view from the trenches" last week for the Arden's blog, wherein she details the utter chaos of life as a theater apprentice.
Every Thursday I grab a ruler, my cell phone, my planner and some magnets. The weekly apprentice schedule has been posted and it is a non-ruled paper matrix of what to do when and where to go then. The ruler is for lining up each apprentice assignment with its beginning and end times. The cell phone is for plugging my entire schedule into a mobile organizer. The planner is my paper and pen back-up schedule. And the magnets are for tacking up the original schedule copy on my fridge. This may seem crazy but sometimes I spend the day in four different departments and need business casual attire, a crescent wrench, and a James and the Giant Peach t-shirt. Things can get hectic and sometimes overwhelming, but every week I look back, assess what I have learned, and feel really great about accomplishing each assignment listed in my phone, written in my planner, and posted on my refrigerator.
