Hello all! Janell here. I have been a member of SM Network for a while, but have been reading more than posting. So as long as I am here, I thought I might finally do an introduction.
I am originally from the outskirts of Mobile, AL (on the Gulf Coast), and I attended a year of college at University of South Alabama. i speant this summer working as a Stage Management Intern at Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery. Then, due to some unfortunate circumstance, I found myself unable to return to school this year. So I began looking for other options, and found a job as one of the full year Stage Management Apprentices at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, FL. I am hoping to return to school at some point, but may have to keep pushing forward in the professional world despite a lack of formal training.
I came to SM Network because it seems like a great resource [a fountain of knowledge, if you will,] for someone with my lack of experience and lack of training. I am here looking for advice, help, a bad joke, anything. Please feel free to email me with anything you've got.
