Goal #8 Complete!

I've officially completed one of my goals! Goal # 8 Start working at The Actor's Gang again, is complete!

I'm actually going to give this an official completion date of 07/06/09, because that is the day I got fully into the rehearsal process. For those that do not know, I was previously a stage manager for The Actor's Gang, which is Tim Robbin's theatre company in Culver City. Shortly before my senior year of college, I had to leave the company to finish my obligations at USC. I graduated college, and then life happened so I just hadn't gone back. I went to see lots of productions in the meantime, I just had not stage managed again. The Actor's Gang is a great group of people and the theatre and productions have such a great energy, I really enjoyed working there. I didn't really have a good reason for not coming back, I suppose I just needed a stage managing break.

Once I got out of my stage managing blahs, I decided that I would actively pursue stage managing at The Gang again. Shortly after I wrote it down in my list, I went to go see their production of Our Town with some co workers. After the show, there were some people there that remembered me and just like that, I was asked to come back. About 3 weeks later, I got an email asking me to stage manage their summer in the park production of Cymbeline The Puppet King, and the rest they say is history. It's been great being back in the space and rehearsing with everyone. Our official opening was on Saturday and it's been pretty hectic. The opening weekend went very well.

It's amazing how after I wrote down my list, little things are starting to happen that are allowing me to work towards completing my life goals. I don't know if it's all in my head or if my writing down of my goals is somehow facilitating what I want subconsciously. It's a mystery and a journey and I love it!

P.S. I totally missed an opportunity to sign my name in wet cement aka Goal #76 . They were pouring cement at the back of The Actor's Gang and I got there too late. Boo! Oh well, next time.

Live.Laugh.Love.
