Back on the road after an awesome week in RI with the fam. RENT, Blackalicious/G-Love concert in Boston, Hoopla and sleepovers, quite a different Thanksgiving dinner, Black Friday shopping ---- I'd say the week was complete.
I'm at a Barnes & Noble/Starbucks waiting for Nick's flight to arrive, and wondering where I'll be in June, September, next year at this time. While at home, I rallied some high school classmates to begin planning a casual 5 year reunion. I warned them I'd probably not be in RI come July, but at this point I have no clue where I'll be. I think by September, I'd like to be working the theatre market in DC/Baltimore, and ideally I'd like to land a role in a summer theater in Colorado.
What I'm struggling w/ right now is the social aspect of this job. It is SO great to be meeting new and interesting people each week, but it's tough having only one friend who is constant out here. Nick is a great partner and good friend, but after this week home (social overload!!!) I want to be in a job w/ more co-workers or just people that know me. I was spoiled living with Meg, Mel, and Jo last year, and can't wait to meet up w/ them in Philly after Christmas.
So, here we go again, year #2 of marketing myself in the industry. I'm planning to hit the MidWest Theatre auditions in late February and send my headshot out various places. TWO WEEKS left before I'm back for Christmas!
Thanks to everyone in RI this week, it was a great time!
Some cool pictures from a road where if you stop concentrating for a sec, you'll be off the cliff!
