Not in the loop about the takeover? Get looped in here.
The down and dirty explanation: October 14th at 7:00pm Mike Daisey is coming to Woolly to do a benefit for the Interns. Drunk with power, the interns have taken over the Woolly blog. Every day this week come here to learn about a new pair of hardworkin’ young Mammoths.

Emily Cauthorne: Development Assistant
moments after this photo was taken, two laser-beams erupted from the tips of Emily’s thumbs.
Where are you from?
I am from Midlothian, Virginia.
What are you doing this year for Woolly?
I am currently working as the Development Assistant/Intern. I will be assisting our team in the evolution of our Free the Beast Campaign, special events throughout the year, and working closely alongside of our patrons!
Why Woolly?
I chose Woolly for its commitment to promoting up-and-coming artists and taking risks on new works.
Over the course of this year, I will be learning the operations and skill sets pertaining to a field that is entirely new to me. I have consistently been pursuing arts management at a collegiate level and, with this internship, will be branching out to a different side of theatre management.
What are your hopes and dreams for the future?
My immediate goal/hope is to understand Tessitura (Woolly’s very powerful database system), which is fairly essential to do my job. I digress. Though I have mostly been working in theatre administration, I still hope to pursue performance down the road. After Woolly, my semi-planned out, long term goal is to move to L.A.!
Until then, I will be tackling this crazy, Woolly ride over the next year!
Fun Fact!?
I’m ambidextrous!

Sam Lahne: Literary Assistant
Sam Lahne: the littlest ninja
Where are you from?
Silver Spring, MD.
What are you doing this year for Woolly?
I am the Literary Assistant.
Why Woolly?
I haven’t shaved for a while.
What are your hopes and dreams for the future?
My hopes and dreams fall into two major categories:
|
HOPES Be a playwright. Get some of my plays produced. Go to graduate school. Teach. And write more plays. And maybe a novel. No poetry though. And some essays. Also be a dramaturg and translator. Make a life in the theatre and keep writing and reading and thinking and enjoying the experience of live performance.
|
and |
DREAMS There’s the one where I’m a pro soccer player. Or that one where I fly. Or where I get rich but wake up before I can buy anything. Or where this guy named Freddy keeps trying to kill me with his knifeclaws. Or the one where there are all these melting eyes and a guy uses giant scissors to cut one of the eyes open. Then I’m at the edge of a roof with skis on my feet and I fall off, but there’s a guy with no face holding a melting wagon wheel and I’m running down a pyramid with a giant shadow following me. |
Fun Fact?!
