Just Another Lurker Saying Hello
« on: Mar 24, 2013, 01:55 pm »
Hi all,

I'll be graduating from the University of Florida this May with a B.A. in Theatre, emphasizing in stage management/production. I started stage managing in college, when I spontaneously decided to study theatre with no idea of what I wanted to pursue. But now I really enjoy it--I've stage managed a few shows at school, both musical and not. I'll be working at the theater here in Gainesville, FL over the summer, but I'm looking for SM internships or non-AEA work for the fall and on. Thanks for all of the advice (and paperwork)!

--Erin

Hi and welcome to the forum, Erin! Take a look at the Internship Survey (in the upper right-hand corner of the page) for info on internships that other members have completed, if you haven't already. Are you planning on staying in Florida after the summer, or moving elsewhere?

Congrats on your upcoming graduation!

Have you tried the Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach, FL?

Thank you! I've never heard of the Riverside Theatre, but I will have to look into it. I don't have plans to stay in Florida, but I don't have anywhere specific I'd like to go, either. Ideally I'd like to move to a city or metropolitan area, but I will have to see what jobs are available.
