So I went to yet ANOTHER party last night (without Jackie, although I did get a call concerning her) and it was fucking good. My friends have this huge house and they just go balls to the wall for Halloween.They even hired a psychic for the party. Actually, I think she was more of a tarot reader than a psychic, if you want to get technical. She was lovely. She helped me figure some things out that I needed to figure out (and as a tarot reader myself, it's always nice to have someone else's perspective). She even told me she'd like to keep in touch with me - she asked me to add her on Facebook and told me about some movies she thought I would like. We even discussed Marilyn Manson briefly (and damn if I don't love me some MM).
Othello closed today, and we struck and immediately began setting up for the next show, which I am stage managing. It opens Friday, which gives us a 4-day tech week. Fucking A. Working close to full time for a quasi-rep is exhausting, especially if you're SM/AD for three shows in a row.
Recently, I was offered an assistant director position for an upcoming show, and today it was explained to me what the exact duties of an AD are. Turns out I've assistant-directed many of the shows I've also stage managed, and nobody bothered to let me know/credit me/compensate me. So there's that. I guess I can add AD to my resume then.
(But seriously, goddamn.)
