It's official! I've been hired as a Production Stage Manager in an Off Off Broadway house called the Castillo Theatre! I'm working on a new play called The Donut Play, and after yesterday's first rehearsal, I am beyond thrilled to be a part of this team. I'm on their payroll! I'm a professional! My outrageously good fortune shocks even me.
For those of you who haven't heard, NYC has been very kind to me.
Quick summary: January 28th, 2014 I fly out to New York for the incredible internship with New York Theatre Workshop (which has been AMAZING). Then my 2nd day in New York, I walk around the neighborhood NYTW is in, in the freezing cold and randomly walk into restaurants asking if they would hire me as a waitress. An incredibly reputable, classy, iconic French restaurant in SoHo (Balthazar) says yes, and is completely flexible and understanding of my schedule. By my third day I was living the dream, having a great and enjoyable server job to pay my bills during the day, and being a superhero artist/production management intern at night. Since January 28th, I've been working 60 hours a week...AND TOTALLY LOVING IT. I'm living in New York City and I'm actually saving money. And with what's left of my free time, I've been seeing a million different shows through comp tickets at The Workshop.
Seriously.
I'm living the dream.
