Hi all,
I’ve had to recently consider a very difficult decision. I haven’t been able to get full-time work or enough work to pay the bills. I will have enough to pay for this month after I work my special event and trade show assignments. So it was either go home or go live in the parents’ condo in Scottsdale, Arizona. So I plan to move there when my lease is up in November if an act of God doesn’t happen to keep me here. I went on a group interview for a position at a Wellness Center, but I doubt I’ll even be considered. I ran into a woman that I attended a group interview with back in August. Wow, things really are bad in this country when a person with a lot more experience than me is still job searching.
My audition for The Next Fairy Tale at Celebration Theatre went pretty well. It was fast and I flubbed the words on my song but kept it going. Callbacks are supposed to be tonight but I haven’t heard yet if I got a call back. Jami Rudofsky was there and she was very nice. She thought my song was pretty. I met a young lady there who was in the Broadway tour of Footloose. That sounds wonderful and Broadway tours pay really well. It makes me wish I had auditioned earlier for the productions that auditioned here. I wanted to audition for Cal Shakes but the audition is next Monday when I have to work. Not that I want to complain about that!
Well, something fortunate happened. One of the concerts that I was assigned to work this Saturday was canceled, so now I can audition for the play An American Tract. I hope it pays well. They sent me sides to prepare and I will set to work on them.
I’ll have to pray my rosary more often. Our Lady has been known to work miracles.
Oh, one final note, I will be setting up a website through Actorplace.com where I can upload audio and video for only $24.99 per year. Their basic profile is free. And I need business cards while I’m at it. Heaven help me.
