So, how about a real update? Yeah, it is late, but I don't feel like sleeping. I have tomorrow off, so I can sleep in all I want.
Work is going well. We finished teching our next show, "How the Other Half Loves," this weekend. It went fairly smoothly... and it was fun for me because I got to be in the house as opposed to backstage for this one. It was nice to be able to watch a show from the house. I am very good at running a deck, but I belong in the house, at the tech table. We have tomorrow off then our final dress with an invited house on Tuesday, two previews Wednesday and Thursday, and we open on Friday night. Which means intern reviews are coming up. I don't feel nervous about it at all. I feel that I have a great relationship with my supervisor and if she has problems with me, she would have told me. Anyways, after the opening weekend, I will take over the show the next week. It isn't the most exciting show to call, less than 100 cues total (probably closer to 80), but it will be nice to be in the booth again.
This, of course, is just the calm before the storm. On January 27th we start rehearsals for Les Miserables. I think I am ready. I hope I am ready. I will be- I have a couple of weeks. I hate to think ahead, but "Other Half" is a tiny show compared to Les MIz. It will be challenging and a lot of work, but also a ton of fun. It helps that I already know and love the show.
Knowing that May is only 5 months away and that I will be without a job then, I have been sending my resume and cover letters out to theatre companies around the country. I would love to come home to Seattle, but I am not too picky, because Todd's got to get paid. 14 companies have recieved inquiries from me so far, with more on my to do list. We'll see what happens. It is mostly Summerstocks and other summer theatre opportunities, but there are a couple of cruise lines on the list. Now the fun part- waiting to hear back.
In personal news... not much to report. I hang out with the other interns, complain about work, try to watch movies and relax, and occasionally play XBox. It isn't great- and, to be honest, I am not really satisfied with how things are... but I am not putting much effort into it so it isn't that surprising. It doesn't help that I have almost no spare time. And maybe it is for the best, I mean I don't know where I will end up next or for how long. I wish I could say that am going to focus on it this year, but I don't think I will. This year will be about continuing to build my resume and making professional connections. I am going to try to focus on myself a little more. But we shall see.
Well, that is a lot of words. Enough, in fact.
Good night.
