TheatreworksUSA

I got a job.

I now work for TheatreworksUSA and in the spring I will be out of NYC 60% of the time on tour with Max and Ruby. We will perform the show up to 12 times a week in school auditoriums, cafatoium/ gymnasiums and "real" theatres. Sometimes we will be under a "sponsor" which means a venue has brought us in to perform and sometimes we will be a "field trip venue" which means that Theatreworks or another larger organization has bought space in a theatre and we are performing for audiences to whom TW or the Larger Organization has sold tickets.

I will most often be sleeping in hotels throughout the country and we will travel in one cargo and one passenger sprinter vans. The company reserves 4 rooms. 3 doubles and one single. The single is for me. I have 4 girls and 2 boys on my show. Every night that we are staying in a hotel we will be paid a per diem which will cover the cost of the room. Once a week we get a day off from traveling/ performing. During that day we can re-pack, clean, repair, rest, go to the mall, see a movie or get the vans serviced. It isn't the same day each week so sometimes we will go 13 days between days off.

For this work I will be paid (fairly well especially considering how much I have been making) and I will get overtime AND my equity card. I will also get to travel the country and get to know 6 hopefully cool people.

I'm looking forward to it. TheatreworksUSA
