The first time went really well in that I got accepted to a great program. Not so great in the fact that I really wasn't ready for it, personally. I decided not to go and now here we are.
I am thinking about applying again, but not for Stage Management this time. I am looking into Production Management/General Management this time and I think it could be a very interesting path for me to take. It is something that I am very interested in and this seems like a great way to get into a new part of theatre for me. I love stage management, but sometimes I want to do something bigger than one show. I want to get shows up and running and then oversee them through their runs. I want to be a part of the process of getting it done from the very beginning. There is so much that happens before rehearsals and I want to be a bigger part of that than just production meetings. I want to be an important piece for a theatre as a whole.
I have only found one program that I am really interested in so far, but it is a great school for theatre and it would be a very difficult road for sure. It is the North Carolina School of the Arts. I will be mulling this over for the next couple months while I start getting my materials together. We'll see how this goes.
You'd be wonderful as a Company/ Production Manager. Absolutely wonderful. I also think you'd love grad school.
