This summer, I worked at Brownville Village Theatre in Brownville, NE. It's a town of less than 200 with a repertory theatre right smack dab in the middle. When I got the job, I wasn't really sure what to think. I had to say, before I got here, my expectations were very low. I envisioned working in a one-street town in the middle of the desert with a tumbleweed or two strolling by. Boy, was I wrong. The area was stunning, the town was gorgeous, and the theatre (although it was a little small) was a lifechanging experience. I have learned so much this summer as an actor. It's pretty phenomenal. I couldn't have been happier. This is a picture my good friend Johanna took of the area:
You should check out her blog. Her name is Johanna Jackson with the Jujubee blog! Anyway! Tonight was the first night that we closed one of our shows here at Brownville. It still hasn't quite set in. The show we closed was actually my favourite out of the 5 that we rotated this summer. The other 4 will be closed the next 3 days. It's hard to believe the summer's already over. I have to say, I am excited to return to my old apartment. Back home, I live in a little efficiency by myself. Here, I live with 13 other people. Needless to say, the privacy change was the biggest shock. However, I love my theatrical family here and will be so sad to say goodbye. Although the shows we did were silly, it's sad to see them close.
