Dear John..... THANK YOU!


This post is from our wonderful intern, John Dillon. Today was John's last day with the ensemble -- he is moving on to Greensboro where he begins classes on Monday at UNCG. Thanks, John, for the great attitude and willingness to take on any task regardless of how small or how daunting. We would not be where we are today without all of your help since July 6. Have a wonderful year at UNCG and come visit Open Dream when you get the chance!

If i have said this once i have said it a hundred times. This internship has been so much more than i could've ever imagined. I have learned so much and done so many new things that i have never done before. Everything from using a jigsaw to cutting fabric to observing the directing styles of four different directors in such a short period of time have been incredible new experiences. it has really been fascinating to work with so many incredibly multitalented people. This past tuesday we performed our show "Dream Machines" for the Southern Legislators Conference. It was a great way for us all to see how a very large audience outside of the age range we target reacts to our performance. I feel as though it was extremely well perceived and we heard nothing but positive feedback from the audience. I would like to end this entry by saying that this is in fact my last day with the Open Dream Ensemble. it has truly been an incredible experience. I have learned so much and had some great fun at the same time. The experience i got this summer is priceless and i am sure that it will help me so much in my career, education, and every day life. I will miss each and every member of Open Dream, and i wish you all a fun filled successful season.
