Last Day Being An Apprentice: What's Next???

Today was my last day being the Education Apprentice at the Walnut Street Theatre! It's been a fantastic year: I've been able work in the various Educational Programming, understudy and perform on Tour, teach hundreds of students, lose dozens of hours of sleep, work with some really cool people, and get to clown around with my friends! While I have no idea what I'm doing after the summer ends (if anyone's hiring, hit me up!), I'm going to be looking back at this year and miss every part of it.
What makes today not hit as hard is that while the apprenticeship is over, I'm not fully saying goodbye to the Walnut. I'm fortunate to say that this place is my artistic home so the only way I'd leave is if I'm forced out the door kicking and screaming. I'm here all summer for the various camps and I'm literally in the building tomorrow to help run acting apprentice auditions for the 26-27 season.
It's been a fantastic four years at the Walnut so far and I can't wait to see what's next with my time here now that I'm no longer an apprentice!
