So I work with a fantastic community theatre in Louisville co. I have worked with them for almost three years. I have stage managed almost every show they have done in that time. I am also on the board there. But that is not really the point of this post. In the time I have worked with them a few of my friends from A-State have auditioned and even done some shows with us. It has made me realize that I am very fortunate to have come from a theatre dept. that really did prepare us for doing theatre out in the "real world" The people I have worked with from A-State are always so professional and do a wonderful job. Trust me that is a big deal for me. I have worked with some casts of "professional actors" who are not at all professional and have treated me, as their stage manager, like complete crap. All of you that I have worked with and seen audition in the last three years, and there are only 3 so you know who you are, have always auditioned very well and have been some of my favorite people to work with and watch audition. You are always very polite, you never complain about costumes or the very strange way we have to do things at Coal Creek because of the whole shared space thing, and you are always willing to help out. It is very refreshing. I am so excited to continue working with A-State grads in I hate Hamlet. I will not say his name in my blog just in case he doesn't want me to but he had a fantastic audition and will be playing one of the leads. To the other A-Stater that auditioned for this show as well, I am bummed things didn't work out but your audition was also fantastic and you should defiantly keep auditioning with Coal Creek. So thanks A-State theatre professors for making sure we leave not being complete divas who know how to treat tech people. I promise you not everyone knows how. I have seen it and been on the receiving end of this.
and for those who really want to know and have been following this...Carol is back and starting next week I am working part time for this crazy office.
