My newest job starts today.
I will be the SM (under a Production SM) for the Capture the Flag Festival with New York Theatre Experiment.
I like this company for several reasons. First- the members are all about my age and finding the funding and inspiration to put together several pieces a year in NYC. That is pretty cool. Second- they have interesting ideas. The show I will be working on is actually a bunch of short pieces based around or inspired by iconic American photography. Instead of using the original piece they decided to recreate each photo using friends and family as the subjects. They get pretty close to the real photos. And Third- They spell theatre with an re. Which means the act of theatre not the building- not all theatre groups know that.
Anyway. I will be assisting the rehearsal process for the next few weeks. And on November 6th it will open and run through until the 16th. Different pieces will run on different nights so people don't have to sit for 4 hours. I mean this isn't "Dances with Wolves" or the Ring Cycle for Pete's sake! (Because seriously can you see Pete sitting and watching something for 4 hours?)
Onward and Upward.

I'd use "first", "second", and "third" because what you're doing is using verbal bullet points, not describing how or when the group does something.
For instance, they don't have interesting ideas secondly. They wouldn't be a remarkable group for that. :) It's more like, "Second bullet point: they have interesting ideas."
Of course, I do use "finally", so that throws a wrench in my logic.
[Blah, blah, grammar, blah...]
Sounds like a cool project -- have fun!
