When I considered a career in theatre administrations, I started thinking about what my dream job would be. What I came up with was the opportunity to produce theatre full-time as an administrator, while being given the chance to perform on the theatre's stage at some point in a season. I don't know what made me so lucky but that's exactly what I got.
Every year Pacific Theatre has its annual improv show, SIDESHOW, that in the last few years I have been privileged to be a part of. It took me a while to get into it because I hadn't done an improv for at least four years by the time I started at PT. After a few drop-in workshops I got back on the horse and was invited to participate in the show and have been a part of it ever since. It's pretty amazing to be a part of the theatre's season - even if only for a weekend event. It's pretty awesome feeling like I'm being invested in as an employee as well as an artist. I didn't know how realistic my career goal was, but I'm grateful that I was able to find it.
