Chuck! Thanks for the nod to "A Chorus Line"!
I wanted to say that I think a great part of community/college theatre around here (and I'm sure you'll agree) is that it prepares young people to work professionally. I thought you might be interested in the students that I know of who will be getting paid to work in theatres this summer.
As for me, I will be working at the Independent Theatre Collective in Wheeling, WV opening Jeremy Richter's new musical "[best imitation]" that appeared at the New Works Fetsival at Marshall last year. This production will have a four-week run in Wheeling starting June 4th, and will tour to FestivALL in Charleston on June 21 & 22. After that, the production will head up to Washington, DC to do a five-performance run at the Capitol Fringe Festival! It's going to be a new, exciting experience! Also working at ITC this summer are Liz Pollack and Ethan Treutle, both from Marshall as well.
Nathan Mohebbi and Scott Burner will be working at Jenny Wiley Theatre all summer long in their season, which includes "Cinderella" and "Joseph and the Amazing, Technicolor Dreamcoat".
Lots of exciting things happening for the students at Marshall! Those are the only ones I know, but I'm sure there may be a few others!
Thanks again, Chuck!
Josh, congrats to you and your fellow actors on the summer jobs in theatre! I'll post this out on the main page for everyone to see - let us know how it goes!
opesomething else of note, our good friend Nick Husted, which appeared in HOT's Oklahoma! and Danny Ray's 1776 along with several other local shows, is graduating with a dual major from Earlham University in Japanese and Theatre. He just finished up his senior project playing Iago in Shakespeare's Othello. He also was just accepted in the University of Hawaii's Theatre Masters Program. Where he will be using both of majors to pursue his degree.
