Where did I put that &*^%$ suitcase???
Feb. 19th, 2009 12:53 pmTime to dig out my travelling shoes.
A friend has offered me a week-long, out of state, stage managing gig, and my day job boss just gave me the OK to take the week off. So in a couple of weeks I will be spending a week in New Jersey stage managing children's theater.
So am excited about getting out of town (heck, out of state) and working with "real" "working" actors. And, you know, the cash. :)
The down side is a week's worth of squealing kiddies... but balanced against the opportunity to do theater for a week, get paid for it (and use paid vacation days for the RL job...) there was no hesitation.
Of course being the obsesessive type now I will spend the next two weeks making lists and gathering a wardrobe and packing and re-packing a bazillion times. But would you want a stage manager who didn't do those things???
