@halflokum You might enjoy this vignette (after I read your post #19)…

So, I already related that my D only did summer stock one summer (out of choice) and even though she was in a professional production that included Equity actors, she was officially called an “intern” which is what the handful of college aged actors were called. One of the other interns was a theater student at a well respected BA program. It so happens that my in-laws (who have graduate degrees) live in the town where this young man went to college. My in-laws have been auditing classes there as senior citizens for 20 years. Soon after my D did that summer stock intern job, my in-laws were auditing a theater related course (academic in nature) at the college in their hometown and this same young man who spent the summer with my D as a summer stock “intern,” was in the same class with my elderly inlaws. On the first day of class, the students had to go around an introduce themselves and my in-laws participated in that. This college young man says on his turn, “I spent the summer scrubbing toilets with their granddaughter!”
