This is modern day slavery and should be illegal.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 2:58pmI'm simply reminded of my home state's Senator Elizabeth Warren's simple comment regarding the avaricious culture of investment banks: "Banking should be boring."
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Pre-existing condition exacerbated by stress on the body.
College kids all over the world push themselves to ridiculous extremes all the time and don't fall down dead. Who hasn't done the all night cram session or the all night type the research paper?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Blaming BoA for the death of this kid is like blaming RENT on the death of Larson.

Headband,
Interns are always generally unpaid. That's why they are called interns. Otherwise it would be called an apprenticeship.

"Interns are always unpaid. That's why they are called interns."
If you're referencing BWW interns, then yes, but interns aren't always unpaid. I had two paid summer internships back in college.

Theatre internships certainly don't pay interns much, if at all.
But other professions do pay them. I've known people in stock and nursing internships who received a pretty good hourly wage for the duration of their internship.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 4:57pmThat is such an odd mistake because TheatreDiva always generally has such a good grasp of the English language. You know, always generally speaking.
