It&#8217;s actually really embarrassing that it&#8217;s January and I haven&#8217;t updated since November.  I&#8217;ve been busy, and to be honest, the Facebook epidemic swept through the <i>Frankenstein<\/i> company and took up most of my webpage-updating energy for a while.<\/p>\n<p><i>Frankenstein<\/i> has now been closed for a month, and I&#8217;m currently working on an adorable new musical called <i>Wanda&#8217;s World<\/i>, which is billed as &#8220;a musical for the &#8216;tween in all of us.&#8221;  The site appears to be down at the moment, but here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatermania.com\/content\/show.cfm\/show\/138891\">tickets<\/a> page.  Anyway it&#8217;s a very fun show, aimed at middle school kids, but with a great score and a very talented cast that I think will make it entertaining for all.   We&#8217;re currently in tech.  I&#8217;m assisting (again!) so I&#8217;m sitting alone backstage while they work on a giant dance number.   I really want to PSM something, but I&#8217;m going to be careful what I wish for because I could very well wind up doing a show in the spring right before going back to <a href=\"http:\/\/headsetchatter.com\/blog\/2007\/05\/anatomy-of-a-summer-stock-season\/\">Reagle<\/a>, and that means 4 PSM jobs with no time in between.  I would probably be burnt out after the first show at Reagle.  As it is, I&#8217;ve learned that it&#8217;s best to leave a little cushion before the start of the summer.  I had about 18 hours between my last show of the spring and when I left for Reagle last year, and I was worn out very early in the summer.   A job is a job, but if I have a choice I&#8217;m going to consider the importance of my sanity for the rest of the summer.  I had less than a week between <i>Frankenstein<\/i> and <i>Wanda&#8217;s World<\/i>, so a week or two of intermittent sub work would be just fine whenever it comes along.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing I can say about my career right now is that I have so many insurance weeks that it&#8217;s a non-issue in considering job offers, and I have enough savings from Reagle and <i>Frankenstein<\/i> that I can afford to work at a loss for a while.  This is very important, because every now and then the job that pays the most or gives you the pension &#038; health points is actually not the most challenging or most helpful to one&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on.  Sorry to keep you waiting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got called out by a friend of mine the other night &#8212; &#8220;The Go Button, not updated so much, hmmm?&#8221; Yeah.
