Today's Applications

I certainly couldn't leave you hanging on day 1 without any job applications ... so ... I have just now submitted myself for several jobs - all via email, ahhh, the instant beauty of email.

1. I sent out an adendum email to The Williamstown Theatre Festival where I have put in (yesterday January 10th) a proposal to be the recipient of their Boris Sagal Fellowship. Here's hoping ... it would mean a summer of creative collaboration with ten actors, a playwright and myself - and on an idea of my own origination!!! How amazing does that sound!?!?! Hey, you never know!

2. I applied for the PSM (Production Stage Manager) or ASM (Assistant Stage Manager) positions with Astoria Performing Arts Center's upcoming production of "The Human Comedy"

3. I applied for the Apprentice Program Director position with Bristol Valley Theatre - this one sounds especially up my alley. It would be director (creator) and implementor of a six week program for students ages 11-17 years old with emphasis put on acting, but open to other areas of theatre. And directing the children's show and presentation of work during the course. Sounds great to me!

4. I applied for several positions at Barrington Stage Company for their upcoming summer season. These include Assistant Managing Director, Company Manager, Associate Company Manager and Assistant to the Artistic Director - or anything they think I'm qualified for.

5. And last but not least, for the moment, I applied for the Company Management Assistant with the Utah Festival Opera for this coming summer season.

Phew ... that's a lot of typing ... but it's also a large number of people who will (hopefully) now see my resume ... something's gotta give, eventually!!!

We shall see what transpires!
