Students and Novice Stage Managers / Just graduated and need advice terribly
« on: Jul 01, 2009, 03:37 pm »
I hope this is the right place to post this question, but my story is:
I just graduated from college and am taking some time off before applying to graduate school to build up my resume. The problem is, though, that whilst in college I didn't discover Stage Management till a year and half before I graduated and so have almost no experience. I have applied to some internships but didn't get them because my resume was so bare. I live in Phoenix, AZ, which is not the greatest place for theatre, although there are some places. Does anyone have any advice on how to get your foot in the door or what I should do, and also, for those who have applied and gone to grad school, how much experience are they looking for? Thanks so much. I am a bit terrified, being at that point of having just graduated college without a clue (besides knowing that I want to be an SM) of what to do next.
