Next weekend, I'll be traveling to Memphis for the Unified Professional Theatre Auditions. It's a chance to see friends who I've worked with in various parts of the country, reconnect with former directors, and, most importantly, audition for about 80 theatre companies for jobs next fall.
I'm really looking forward to it. I'm in a very unique situation this year. I'm fully booked until the end of August, so quite a few of the companies won't even consider me. I'm not having any problem getting costume work in DC, so I don't absolutely need to find a job for the fall. But I'd like to! I truly enjoy acting and as much as I'm thrilled that I'm booked for Tecumseh! again, I'd love to not just act in the summer.
So we'll see. One way or another, it'll be a great weekend. I already have plans to get drinks with several friends and have my eye on a few companies that I'll be seeking out and talking to before my audition. Plus, I don't get away from work very often, so two days in Memphis will be fantastic!
