Interview Today

I'm finally caught up.

Those are all the big things I did this summer.

So let's talk about this week. What's happening now.

I'm in shows for Something You Did (pushing Go) and tech for Scorched starts in a week and a half (I think).

I get to go home/to Harrisonburg to visit in 2 weeks. I'm excited about that. I happen to have off of the two shows and my day job for a day. It's spectacular.

I'm not desperate for work. I like my day job and I'm getting settled into DC. I don't feel like I need to go around and beg for work. I don't have a full season set up, but I'm still looking. I'm not sure I need a full season my first year.

Today's Interview

Today (literally 2 hours ago) I had an interview for a lighting design position with a small company producing a new play. I was very surprised they called me to interview at all since I'm straight out of college. They liked that I had worked in a space with limited resources (Theatre II) in which I was forced to be inventive. They are a low budget company with an environmental space and limited inventory.

AKA how Theatre II made me more marketable.

We'll see if they call me :-p

References:

I wanted to put someone on my resume as a reference who was local (DC Theatre scene) and not part of my JMU life (aka didn't have a JMU professor email address). I have lots of people that I've worked with so far that can attest to my work ethic, but no one has worked with me a designer.

I then realized Michael Dove came to see bobrauschenbergamerica at JMU so not only could he attest to my work ethic (volunteer marketing, helloo), but he had seen something I designed. Turns out that was a good move, since his girlfriend is on their board.
