If nothing else, I do feel that I am becoming expert in moving. Especially from state to state.
After being offered a disappointing next season from The Cleveland Play House, I decided to start sending my resume out. Not saying that I won't be coming back, but I'm definitely looking for better offers.
Last Wednesday I saw a posting, and sent my resume in. They called me a few hours later saying they were passing my resume along. Thursday they called again and offered me the 2 month stage management job. In Washington DC.
The weekend consisted of me frantically trying to find housing and decide whether or not I actually would accept the position. It's been very stressful, but I am going to do it.
I have a place lined up to live in DC, so now my issue is what am I going to do with all of my stuff in the meantime. It's hectic, but somehow it's all falling into place.
We are coming into our second weekend of 'Legacy of Light' at CPH, and the crew has been with me all the way in my decision. Every single person I mentioned this to contacted at least one person they know in the DC area to try to find me housing. Wow. I am very blessed to know the people that I know.
A quote from our show, something Voltaire always said, "no problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking." Very very true.
So in 9 days it will be saying goodbye to this:
And hello to this:
It's strange. If I had been offered the same sort of thing in New York City I would have turned it down. I don't know why but Washington DC seems like a better fit for me. Even if it is only for 2 months.
