<p>I'm applying for a bunch of internships in theatre design/tech for this summer. I know it's a little late to be applying for summer internships, but I've found some where I haven't yet missed the deadline. But I'm worried about references and letters of recommendation. I know I can't expect anybody to give me a letter of recommendation with such short notice. But I'm hesitant to even just ask my theatre tech prof if I can use him as a reference because of how many internships I'm looking at. Like, I really don't think he wants 20 calls about some random freshman, you know? So I'm really not sure what to do or how/whether it's appropriate to ask him for a reference at this point. Never mind that most of the internships I'm looking at ask for 3 references...</p>
