schedule schmedule!
Sun, 4 May 2008, 02:53 amI was just wondering if anybody else had any trouble trying to fit theatre AND "work" into there week/month/year??? any helpful hints from those who have "been there done that" would be greatly appreciated!
You'll be fine...for a while

Pauls right - theatre and work is fine. Plus life ARGH!
Luckily my friends are at theatre. I met my fiancee at theatre (so he is usually about). And my parents have worked professionally in 'the business' their whole life, so they understand TO A POINT. My friends that don't 'get' theatre life email me and we have a cyber friendship.
I've taken the next 6 months off from theatre. This means only doing a one night a week Improv course (Black Swan - Sam Longley ROCKS!) with my partner. And checking ita website on a daily basis to get my fix.
When it comes to doing/not doing another play for 6 months, i'm hoping that absence makes the heart grow fonder...and that the yearning will get so strong i'll figure out a way to fit theatre/life/love/work all together.
My tip - that I haven't yet followed, but will stick to with my next play - put a limit on the finishing time for night rehearsals. If a director says they are fininshing rehearsal at 10.00 - let them know that you will be finishing at, exactly that, ten. But for gods sake...be there on time.
Everything in perspective.
