Well, I Lied

So I didn't actually make it into New York last week to hand out resumes, due in part to an out of date resume (a faculty member changed their mind about the contact information she had originally provided me with--and I found a spelling error). I headed in today instead, stopping at three costume shops. The first, whom I had heard was a hard company to deal with, not only informed me they were pretty certain there would be a spot open next fall, but also gave me a tour of the shop. Currently this particular shop has the majority of the build for the upcoming revival of Chorus Line, Mame, Drowsy Chaperone, and bits and pieces of rebuilds for Lion King an Wicked, in addition to a large hunk of work from American Ballet Theatre. I would be working as a shopper which mostly entails the purchasing manager handing me a swatch and an address and telling me to pick up the items. Still, shoppers tend to interact with the designers a lot more (and a lot of designers come to this shop) and I'd become familiar not only with the way a Broadway costume shop works, but also with the fabric stores they patronize.

David also offered me a potential internship with him on the Circus (yes Ringling Bros). I'm still waiting to here from the designers I mailed resumes out to though. Once I've settled at APT for the summer, I'll start making phone calls to keep the process moving.

Now that my portfolio is in the clear (a lot of nit-picking at my review, which is an excellent spot to be in) I really need to focus on packing. It still feels like there is too much to do with very little time.
