1. Production Assistant at the Houston Ballet- this job is essentially the majority of the jobs one does as a theatre manager and assists with operations of the theatre or the company. I would like to work at this job because it would be a stable job that is still within the arts. My qualifications come from working for the University in the management payroll. I know how to communicate within other sections of production teams and I’ve assisted in hosting events with the theater and how things are run.
2. Leading Role in Seminar at Theatre Three Dallas- I would love to be considered for a leading role in an Equity show but I do not have my Equity card, therefore making me unqualified. I would have to gain more onstage experience professionally and really market myself in order to be more qualified for this position.
3. Roles at The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company in Thousand Oaks, CA- CLASSICALLY TRAINED actors with SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE in the performance of Shakespeare for our outdoor summer repertory season to include Twelfth Night and Antony and Cleopatra. I would love to be a part of a Shakespeare Company to perform classical pieces.
4. Other Desert Cities at International City Theatre at Long Beach, CA- They are searching for actors for this performance and I would love to do that show! I would need to be a part of Actor’s Equity and some more professional experience.
Teaching
5. If I would want to graduate from SHSU with a teacher's certification, I would have to spend three semesters to earn my education minor while getting my theatre major. I would need two semester credit hours plus an internship and would have to spend about $4000. One semester I would be taking Methods courses, and the other semester I would be Student Teaching at a high school. I have no desire to go through this process because I have absolutely zero desire to teach in the high school or middle school level regardless.
6. If I wanted to get alternative certification at SHSU, I need to complete 1.5 semesters of credits with an assistantships. This process still does not have a huge appeal for me mostly because I do not want to teach below the college level.
7. Midland (TX) Community Theatre (www.mctmidland.org) seeks an Educational Theatre Intern to assist with Pre-K through twelfth grade classes. This Education Assistant will develop skills and experience in educational theatre with duties including curriculum planning, teaching or assisting with on-site classes for Pre-K through twelfth grade students and students with special needs as well as teaching theatre outreach workshops in the public schools. Additional responsibilities would include administrative assistance for all educational programming. The educational assistant would begin work in the fall of 2014 and continue through spring of 2015. This position is paid a weekly stipend.
This position is not appealing to me because there aren’t really any community colleges that are hiring with positions that I would want.
8. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS. To be part of the directing faculty in an undergraduate BFA professional actor-training program. Applicant will teach third and fourth year directing classes in both theory and practice, advise student directing projects, direct main-stage productions featuring third and fourth year BFA acting students, and periodically direct and teach studio projects in the acting track curriculum.
I would need to have earned master's degree in the teaching discipline or earned master's degree with a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience is required.
Graduate School
9. Realistic and Ideal M.F.A. graduate program- The Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Arts program at the University of San Diego utilizes, as primary training tools, the professional performance opportunities at The Old Globe and studio productions. The curriculum has been developed to support and expand the work in performance. Each of four semesters concentrates on a specific period of dramatic literature. Course content and instructors vary, a comprehensive performance skills curriculum is taught each semester, including: Acting, Voice and Speech, Literature, Movement, Alexander Technique and Yoga. Additionally, a variety of workshops and master classes are offered in such areas as scansion, period styles, stage combat, audition technique, stage make-up, and acting for film and television, among others. Summers are generally reserved for performance work with the Globe's professional company.
The admission process required a submission of an application and then auditions either on sight, in New York or in Chicago. You would need to bring a contemporary and a classical monologue contrasting and totaling 4 minutes. My plan would be to bring amazing pieces that really showcase myself as an actress and to show off my dedication to classical theatre.
