Employment / Internships. How to Proceed from the West End.

« on: Nov 02, 2011, 07:56 pm »

Hello. 

I'm an American SM student doing a Work Placement, or Internship, with stage management at Wicked on the West End.  I'll be going back to the states in 5 weeks and I'm looking for summer internships.  I'm a little stuck as to where to go next.  Can anybody help me with ideas of places to apply?  I live in New York, without a car but I can travel anywhere.

Thanks!

I'm finishing up my freshman year at Ithaca College.  I am full of questions and I'm not afraid to ask.  I find that being able to ask my questions on here should not be an issue, even if they have to do with my homework.  On the other hand if there are people asking others to do their homework for them, then I see the issue.  If I'm having trouble and I need some advice from professionals, I'm going to want to ask and not feel as though my questions are unwanted.  Especially because stage management is something that you learn by doing.  Yes there are courses but you can't learn it from a book, I know I've tried.

Tools of the Trade / Re: Kit: Box vs. Bag

well I found a nice sized bag on wheels with plenty of compartments and I really like the adjustable tackle boxes.  I'm currently leaving it in the management room at school and only taking it out for rehearsals so carrying wise it's not an issue.

What do you guys think about a box vs. a bag?

I like the idea of a bag w/ adjustable tackle boxes inside.  Is this not going to work as I become a more experienced SM?

at my school we're doing RENT (tonight is closing actually).  For the drugs we used sugar and for the pills we used TicTacs.

I shadowed Wicked in January and In the Heights last week.  It is so much fun.  I might be shadowing Chicago in the future.
