Employment / Working Outside the States

« on: Dec 16, 2011, 11:34 pm »

Hi everybody-
It's kind of nice to get back onto SMNetwork after a hiatus for my senior capstone

So here's my question: I'll be graduating from my undergraduate program in the spring, and I'm not inclined to beeline directly to New York. I'd actually like to get some work in the UK or Canada if I could, and I was wondering if anybody had had any experience with that? I'm doing some research on dual-citizenship, but I know I won't be able to go on a student visa anymore, and I'm also not quite sure what their hiring schedule is like. I'd also like to get my equity card at some point, and I hear our point system in the states is mucho different from the point system in England especially.

Really I'm just trying to figure out how feasible this is going to be, and I'd appreciate any and all input.

Thanks!

College and Graduate Studies / USITT Conference

« on: Nov 07, 2010, 10:19 am »

Every year, the tech majors go to the USITT (United States Institute for Theatre Technology) conference, and the powers that be are trying to decide if SM majors should go as well. I've heard nothing but great things about the conference, but only in strict regards technical theatre. I'm told that there are some great lectures, and there's always free stuff, but I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who had gone as a stage manager and found it beneficial. Money is tight right now, so I don't want to spend it to go if I won't get anything out of the experience.

Thoughts?
