So that title doesn't make complete sense because that's what you all should be saying in regards to finding me, because I've been in hiding. But not really.
About 2 and 1/2 weeks ago my phone rang & I was shocked to hear the words "This is Mallory from The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey..." I have handed in my resume there umpteen times and have yet to get a response. 2 months after the last time I handed it in, I got one!
They needed another ASM for their production of To Kill A Mockingbird & because I know someone who knows someone, I got the call. I was so nervous that I almost vommed before my first day. But everyone has been amazing and I've met some incredible people. Hopefuly, fingers crossed it will lead to other opportunities.
My job is not glamorous & the first few weeks were plagued with 11 hour days. But when people would ask "how's work" I would look at them with blank stares, because it feels nothing like work. I'm on my feet pretty much all day, running around getting things for people, lugging trees off stages & rolling windows on. But it's been the best time I've had in a while.
The pay isn't great, I am still utterly pathetic & stuck home with mom and dad forever. But it's a toe in the door at a very very professional and prestigious theatre. Plus I get to watch some truly talented actors work, which has been my favorite part.
I know I've been MIA but now that the show has opened I will have more free time. So, hope to write to you all again soon.
Love your faces.
