About
This blog was kept as a component of my THE 450 course, where I interned with Synchronicity Theatre the year of '09-'10
Women and War is a play with a "startling, hopeful, funny and heartbreaking tapestry of text, movement and striking visuals- the dynamic ensemble explores what it means to be a woman who has been touched by war. "

Megan Draper, I know you read my Tumblr. You’ll never be me. How very unfortunate you are. Trying to replicate my famous ice cream move? Not even close. Again, just proving how I know you’re “lurking” here, because you’ve obviously seen all my lovely photos and the imitation is flattering, I suppose. I’ll always be the Original Mrs. Draper.
PS: Are you intentionally trying to dress like a flight attendant? Perhaps that would be a more suitable occupation for you. Everyone knows you’re the office tramp. I’ve heard Pan Am is hiring.

Looking for my personal blog?
Unfortunately, at this time, tumblr can’t set a “default” blog when you have multiples. I began this blog to supplement my THE 450 internship. Read below to learn more about my experience.
:) on the back it reads- Women and War ‘10
This is your story too.
Don’t tell me this is the last night of Women an War. I have truly loved working with everyone here. I know that I haven’t posted recent happenings in the theater, but it has only been because things have been rolling so smoothly.
Last night was an important night for us, I stood beside the back curtain and watched the curtain call. There was a man here from a new civil rights building that is being built between the Atlanta aquarium and the World of Coke. It’s a huge deal to get these people to sponsor us, and make our show known. We are truly hoping to get this show on tour, because it is so applicable to global awareness.
What really pleased me was that two of my close friends came to see the show, and one of them felt as though her life had changed. She is an IR major who has been writing papers on the Bosnian conflict for the past two years and she said that she has never truly been able to explain the gravity of the stories until she saw Women and War. It made me really happy.
It makes me feel like I want to mop twice tonight just so that I can spend more time with everyone. Rachel May gave me one o the stones with a message that read, “Lee, this is your story too.” :)
Last week to see Women and War
I can’t believe this is the last weekend with the cast. I’ll be off on Spring Break soon enough, and the show will be over. My internship as a WHOLE will be over. It’s a pretty sad feeling, I’ve really enjoyed the time i have spend with all of the actors. It’s been a a valuable, fun experience. Please, please please consider coming to see this wonderful work. I promise you mind will be challenged. It it a great learning experience.
I’m glad that I have made some great contacts along the way, from learning about the acting world through the performers in the show, and hanging out with the stage manager.. really.. everyone. I wasn’t able to work the industry show last night, and It was sweet to know that I was missed (not juuuust because someone had to pick up my work). I’m glad I have made a difference. It’s a great feeling.
I can’t thank the women of Synchronicity enough. Thank you to Rachel, Amy, Jenny, Kathy, Charlie, Teagle, alll of the actresses, and the quirky crew that comes along for the adventurous ride. I love you all. :)
Fun times at the theater. Only one more week to see women and war! This is Amy’s last night, and I’m very sad to see her go. She was one of the first synchronicity women that I met, and now is probably one of the last nights I will see her! So this post is dedicated to Amy, thank you for all of your hard work. :)

“I tried to be a suicide bomber.. but every bomb I tried on made me look fat.”
A controversial quote among several in the “Comedy Tonight!” scene in Women and War. I don’t want to give away the rest, but it’s pretty insane and thought provoking.
Last night we had a talk back session after the show (which some Agnes girls attended, yes!) and there were women from the refugee services located in Decatur, Ga. It was interesting to hear their thoughts on the comedy section, because although it is jaw dropping, it’s giving a sense of “this is what we have, and sometimes you have to make light of your situation”… to get through a long day of work. It was interesting to hear about their work, and what they do for the families, such as giving them housing and trying to help them adjust slowly into a new environment. It’s pretty cool.
I have been feeling like there is going to be some sense of monotony over the next couple of weeks where we just settle into the motions of the show. But to my delightful surprise.. some temporary chaos ensued, which I’m totally down for. I love being challenged and I might take on just about anything someone asks me to do. (For work, at least). Well, I was going to the fridge early on in the night to get the strawberries for cutting. (Why yes, I was on task) But when I opened the fridge.. there were no strawberries. So of course they wanted me to ask the guys in Java Lords if they had seen it. And even though I knew the answer, the response was pretty much, “Lady.. I just got here” Cool..
At any rate, some people freak out because that’s what we do when it’s 30 minutes until the house opens (EEP), and I drive over to the Kroger on North Ave (aka, murder Kroger) to pick up strawberries. I pick up the LAST carton of strawberries as if it was meant to be. Basically I saved the night. Just saying.. :)
Oh, the enthusiasm and small victories in the life of an ASM..
