...not that they actually perform outside when it's raining this badly, but me getting there still involves a very, very wet Jay.
It was fun. Not hard at all- just selling tickets and handing out raffle tickets, but it's made me realize that there is an actual theatre community in London. It's not huge, but it's there... and it doesn't have a lot of Stage Managers.
What am I? Oh that's right... imma stage manager.
So, I've had an epiphany. Maybe, just maybe, I should get up off my arse and actually look for a job that has something to do with the degree I went to school for. I was talking to a guy last night, and it doesn't even seem like I'd need to join the unions in order to do that, so I really think I'm going to go for it. Even if I'm having to look for work more, it's a word of mouth business, and if you do well, a lot of the time, people are seeking you out. And while it doesn't pay a lot right off the bat when you compare it to a profession, say, or being a teacher, which is the whole ultimate goal, it pays more than working at a movie theatre, which I'm rapidly disliking more and more.
Plus, the AH said if this works out, and I like it, we could look at moving to Stratford [has a HUGE Shakespeare festival that's months long, tons of theatre there] once he's finished with the having-to-take-classes part of his doctorate. So that's something too.
So that's my great epiphany. Now I just have to get up off my butt and do something about it.
