Long Days & Fast Friendships
The four Davidson interns met the four A&T interns just weeks ago and have already formed their own small world as they prepare for the company’s first season.
They’ve painted, built and staged props. They’ve memorized lines, and managed lighting, screens, and casts. One designed the promotion posters, and all worked on a social media campaign.
In a separate venture, they’re writing and producing a children’s show they plan to put on at local summer camps.
“After going through this, I realize I can conquer anything,” Corin Davis, a theatre arts major and rising senior at A&T said. “It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had, and I’ve worked at Chick-fil-A and waited tables. But I’m thankful and grateful to be part of this. If you love something, you need to make sacrifices to achieve your end goal.”
The interns live in a Davidson residence hall. They work long hours and often share meals. They have become friends—and each other’s future connections.
“After work, we all hang out together,” said Davidson’s Katie Stewart ’23, the company’s stage manager. “It’s been so great. Everyone is united by this. We all love theatre and we all love putting on a show.”
The Davidson students have introduced their A&T partners to their favorite places in town. The A&T students have invited their Davidson crew to visit Greensboro and attend their school’s homecoming in fall.
“I think of it as more of a melting pot than a culture clash,” said Joshua Suiter, who recently graduated from A&T, has a leading role in Violet, and is pursuing a theatre career. “We genuinely love them.
“It’s been a journey, but anytime you can do what you love and make great friends along the way is a blessing,”
