I've been back in Columbus for about 2 months now, and i'll be here for another two. I've accepted a job back at STNJ, which i'll begin on January 4th. I'll be acting as manager for Shakespeare LIVE! the winter touring company for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. The first month of the 6 month contract will be spent in the rehearsal room with the ensemble, and then we'll have 5 months out on the road.
The 10-person ensemble will tour two productions, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, and we're responsible for our own scenery, costumes, props, and sound. We'll primarily be doing day tours, staying within the tristate area (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania; occasion ventures to Connecticut or WestVirginia), and performing in schools. I'm looking forward to a lot of days starting at 5am, and MANY hours spent in a 12 person cargo van.
As the manager for the group, i'll be responsible for time and space management of the group, being a communication hub between the artistic and production teams, maintaining the director's vision of the show throughout the touring process, acting as a liasion between the venues and STNJ, and making sure that the actors are given a workable condition. *phew*
In the mean time...
I've been babysitting, trying to figure out how to start a mural business, cooking, being with family, cooking some more, and enjoying being home. It's been a great 2 month battery re-charge. I'm looking forward to the holidays at home (being away last year was hard!), but boy, i'm ready for work as well. I've still have two months in this holding pattern though; it feels like i'm taxiing around the tarmac....
