I wanted to sort of introduce my character - or at least get her started on the journey to the weird ass theatre company. However it's Sunday, and I need a day off, so this is really all I feel like writing.
I stared at the computer screen. Twenty jobs and about three-quarters of them were non-paying fringe gigs, and most of the rest weren’t doing living wages. Considering that I got into the production side because I wanted to get paid, this development was disheartening. I might as well get the practice interviewing anyway, so I sent off my resumes to the ones that at least paid something. And then I started looking at the non-theatre gigs. Not that I was actually good for anything else – though maybe I could get some sort of filing job.
I was just about to get onto Monster.com when my e-mail dinged. I wasn’t really expecting anything - mostly spam, so I was surprised when it turned out to be a reply for a production assistant position. That was fast. I looked at the posting. It was actually one of the better ones! It didn’t pay particularly well, but it was summer stock, and room and board were included.
They asked if we could meet at a Greenstem Park, on Monday at 11:00am. I looked at my schedule. Yep, I could do that. It was a little bit of an odd place to meet but at least it wasn’t a bar. I sent a reply. Maybe I wouldn’t have to look for another job after all.
