Working the lovely outdoor box office with AshleySo... I did something crazy. But, it is crazy in a good way, rather than a bad way, and i am almost certain i won't regret it! Guess who is going to now be spending a WHOLE MONTH in New York City Stage Managing a show? You've got it - me! I have officially extended my visa and (hopefully) rebooked my flights and rearranged my entire August all because I got given this amazing amazing opportunity to SM a show at the NYC fringe. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time, because i am not nearly ready to leave this country or these people yet. It has been tough to leave here, and the goodbyes are still continuing (which is super sad...as the liklihood is i won't be back very soon, as least not next year. Financially - and in terms of my education - it just isn't viable) but it makes things easier that i will at least still be in the country! I am going to be staying with Janine and Drew (Dan, one of the playwrights, parents) in the Upper West Side of Manhatten, which is exciting. And although it is exciting, i am also rather nervous and daunted - this really is a big deal. It was an opportunity i couldn't really pass up! These past couple of weeks have been crazy but good - i did very much enjoy working Box Office for Hamlet (mainly due to the wonderful people) - it consisted of sitting outside for about 6 hours every evening, which was tough in the heat and with the bugs, but it wasn't too boring and it all went very smoothly. We even got to babysit a baby one night, which was fun! We played lots of games of cards lol, and read lots, and chatted - it was, in general, good. So, this is short and sweet, because i leave at 6.30am ish tomorrow morning to go to D.C with Katie (yay, excited!), but i wanted to update just so i remember what this part of my amazing american journey was like!!
Ciao ragazzi xxx
