my future
So yeah...where were we?
Right, stage managing in Oklahoma.
and where are we going?
I still have no answer. I am heading to Houston in a week to interview for a nice steady paycheck sort of job. I have been told that I am selling out. I am actually being slowly convinced to move to New York City. The light desinger for TE ATA, Annmarie Duggan (a coworker from Seaside Music Theatre several years ago) has sort of made it her mission to convince me by the time she leaves on Sunday to seriously reconsider my whole ban on the move to NYC (a ban that I instituted long ago presumably because I thought that that life wasnt for me to be a prt of, only to be visit and relish). Annmarie said she knows more success sotries than she knows of failures AND lets be honest...so do I. I pont to Broadway's Craig Grigg and my friend Heather Barr and Big Gay Karl and Bev Lewis and Gay Billy Taylor and really the list goes on.
I was talking to Sherry about it tonight and well she said that I would be working in NO TIME if I were to make the move. She has contacts up there and would assist in finding me something, as would Annmarie, as would several others if I asked and took the plunge. Will I? I just can't convince myself, but if the job in Houston doesnt work out, then I will be looking into freelancing heavily and setting up some sort of shop in Chattanooga. I have also applied for my old job back at ARENA which is would be similar to a move to New York since that theatre scene is quite bustling as well, its also a place where I felt very comfortable and could easily have called it my home had CTC not lured me back. Freelance opps abound in DC and I have many friends in DC as well.
So I don't know. I miss my stuff holed away there in Oxford, but I do enjoy having no rent due, no car payment due and no utility bills due. WHo knows where I am heading. I havent a clue and surprisingly enough it doesnt bother me really all that much...surprise surprise mr too much control, huh?
