The Director Sector

I’ve taken the next step.  I’ve moved away from the town in which I’ve spent the past 8 years of my life.  Somehow, I don’t feel much different.  I feel a little more empowered, a little more free to do what I want.  I feel a little less encumbered and a little less trapped.  But overall, I don’t feel like anything major has happened.

Make no mistake, this is a huge move.  I’ve spent the past six years waiting to leave, but every time I tried, something pulled me back in.  I’d expound upon this some more, but I wrote an entire play dedicated to this situation, and I don’t feel like rehashing it much more.

Right now, I’m kind of in limbo.  I’m trying to further my theatrical career, but it’s difficult.  I have no idea where any of the local theatres are, but believe me, that’s one of the first things I’ll do.  I need a job, cause I have a lot of bills to pay and very little money.  And finally, I’m waiting to hear back regarding some graduate schools that I have applied to.

I had a very successful interview at a school last week.  I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, I loved the faculty, I asked a ton of questions (thanks for the tips, Scott!), and I was very impressed by the facilities.  The town itself is once again in the middle of nowhere.  The big differences is that this time, the town is ten times the size of my last hometown.

So, here’s to the future, to the next step.

Break a leg.
