We are in the midst of what I like to call the new year. When I was still a student September always signified a fresh start. Of course it's been years since I've been a student but I still see September as a chance to start over.
This summer didn't really feel like a summer. Admittedly, summer hasn't seemed like summer since I was a student. Once you're an adult summer doesn't hold much allure anymore. You're at work every day just like you are through the months of September-June which robs any sense of summer you may have once had.
With the advent of fall comes all the groups and events that go on hiatus during the summer. I'm already back at the theatre group and we ran auditions last night. We still have two more days of auditions but so far we haven't found our main characters. It would appear that embodying a queen is more difficult than one would think.
I'm really excited about this play. This time I'll actually have a chance to train as a stage manager. Even though I have done this job in the past it's been a long time and I was never trained properly in the role. This time I'm going to learn it all.
The stage manager for this show is fabulous and someone I worked with on the last play. She was an actor in it while I was ASM.
Because this play is going to be minimalistic as far as set and props are concerned it should make it a little easier to learn how to stage manage. I'll even get a chance to call the show one night so that I can actually try out the whole role. It's a long time in coming but I finally feel like I'm back on track as far as theatre is concerned. I've missed it.
