At times the life of a theatrical is like a long anxious spring break with no money... yep it's called unemployment. This past week I had cleared for a job that I thought would start right away on. I attended the first rehearsal and was ready for the designer to tell me "ok lets start fittings on Saturday". It's a short turn around, most designers are anxious to start right away. Not so. The designer told me "I want to start fittings next Thursday" leaving me a week and a half that I could have been working off my debts.
I am unemployed.
I am broke.
I am bored.
I had such a frenzy preparing for this week that everything is clean. Everything is ready. I even made myself a summer shirt...
It's hard to be too upset about an unplanned "vacation" but without any money to do anything in addition to the fact that I had rejected work makes it rather lame.
On Thursday I got a call to help out for emergency stitching on Friday and Saturday... Hallelujah!
