Wyoming

Hello all!

I know it has been awhile since my last post but alas, grad school papers, exams, and graduation have taken precedence. I am currently working in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with Sight & Sound Productions on South Pass the Musical. This week begins my second week working as an Assistant Stage Manager which is exciting for me as I have never officially been on this side of the fence before. I have greatly enjoyed working with this group of people and am very excited for our show to open in July. Because of copyrights and the like, you will never see me post about anything specific regarding rehearsals or the script.

I did however, get to try my hand at writing down blocking today which allowed me to take the opportunity to see more of what a stage manager does with regards to preparing for the show. I am excited to see how well this show is being put together within a short period of time. I am working with so many wonderful people who will provide with me with opportunities to work with professionals later in life. It makes me wonder what I will be doing in the next few years and what opportunities lie ahead of me; whether they include working with a professional company or if I would be better in an academic environment. I suppose I have a couple of years to think about these things.

I hope everyone is doing well back home. I am find that if I don't keep myself busy, I am homesick, but I know that is to be expected. I do enjoy what I am doing, but I think I will be most happy when I come home. That still remains to be seen.
