I don't update my personal blog very often, huh? I built this massive blog of research materials for this show I'm interning on (The Tin Pan Alley Rag), and I work on Meridian 13 News pretty regularly, but I just don't ever seem to do anything for my own blog. I think it might be because I don't really like sharing details about my own life, but I feel like it's important for me to write daily, and that's the whole reason I started the blog. I'm thinking of making it more of a "theatre" blog in an attempt to get me to write in it more often. I'm not really sure how I would "theatre" blog. Maybe just review the things I see and write more about my attempts to be part of this big Broadway world... Problem is I can't blog about things happening in school in detail. I could be writing about the shows I see and my internship and auditions and festival submissions, etc. I should, really, be doing that I think.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions for how to make this a better blog, please let me know. I need to take more photographs, that's for sure.
There's no time like the present, right? This morning, on my walk to the Roundabout Theatre rehearsal studios on 45th Street, I passed the Booth Theatre and thought, "why are there so many people lined up for Next To Normal rush tickets?? Surely they don't have this many rush seats. Then I realized it's Saturday, and there are two performances. Then it hit me that I'm involved (even if it is just in a tiny way) with a show, since I was headed to a rehearsal studio at 9:45 on a Saturday morning. It'll probably hit me again on Monday when I have the day off. I'm an intern for the playwright on this show, but that essentially means I'm a dramaturge, which is really enjoyable. I had no idea that verifying facts and doing research could be so fun, but I love it, and I think I should definitely look into dramaturgy as a way to earn money in the theatre while I'm writing and auditioning. I don't really know how one gets jobs as a dramaturge though. Google, here I come, I guess.
Anyway, next post will have photographs. Promise. Back to rehearsal.
