Ailey II
« on: Jul 17, 2013, 08:45 pm »
In a whirlwind month and a half of rep summerstock since recently graduating college a year early... I am thrilled to be able to say that I have accepted the stage management position with Ailey II (the second company of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater)! I am so excited!
It's also a bit crazy, as I am moving to NYC Sunday night after a two show day. I'm really looking forward to getting to know the city, and thus far it seems like Ailey is going to be a great place for me. Either way, working in dance has always been a dream, so getting this job right out of school feels pretty surreal and amazing. Thanks for letting me share!

Hey, enjoy!  I did that gig (ten years ago...).  It was a really amazing learning experience.

That is so awesome! Alvin Ailey is one of my favorite dance companies so I'm a little jealous. Congratulations!
