i think i might actually start stage managing as a side hustle.....for years ive been a last min "we need someone are you free?" call for friends and friends of friends (and now friends of friends of friends) but after enough layers of separation its like. oh. this isn't a favor im doing for someone anymore lol you're actually just hiring me

#it gets muddier esp cause i only take payment like half the time #i dont take money for kids shows (even though those are the WORST) and i dont take money if the program is being hosted by #someone i used to dance with. if theyre jusy performing and thats how the event got my name ill charge #but if its actually a show that my peers (i say this loosely i mean my former peers who decided to do this full time) are bankrolling no way #like i know what you have to pay your dancers i know what your take home is from tix sales and i know how much the venue charges #im not adding another name to the payroll ill chill with a clipboard for a day if i get two meals and some gossip out if it #all this to say. oh this is dumb but all this to say i cant do the yearly night watch read cause i have to hold a clipboard for nine hours
