Job Hunting

Despite being wiped for Country Wife, I'm plowing through as many job applications as I can. To date, I have heard no response for the work in March or April. Included among the shows are Baal, Long Christmas Ride Home, Straight to Hell, How to Succeed in Business (a musical I know) and a few new works with little pay. I'm still sitting on several resumes and covers for this summer...mostly because I'm not sure I can handle the summer stock circuit for another year, despite the excellent contacts places such as Berkshire and Williamstown provide. I've begun branching into film makeup and even modeling for life drawing classes (I found modeling an oddly zen experience when at Stevens Point). Maybe I'm just a little stir crazy. I could be using this time to publish my web portfolio. Or relax. What an amusing thought.

Country Wife is progressing very well, though I've reached the stage where I am second guessing everything I've done to date. For the most part the cast seems thrilled with the costumes and have been a treat to work with. No major surprises came out of the designer run I saw on Monday. And except for one of the drapers mis-cutting the most expensive fabric in the show and needing to purchase 3 more yards, my budget seems to be right on track. Everything seems to be going far too smoothly and it's making me paranoid. Of course this may just be thesis jitters.
