Dear Anatoli,
How are things going? I hope Dangerous Liasons went well. I wanted to
let you know what I am up to right now. I am currently in Seattle,
Washington. I am working on 2 shows right now that pay money, though only a
bit. I also have arranged for my own show (The Devil & Billy Markham, the
storyteller piece I did for Winter Shorts) to be produced in September.
This group is called the Fringe Festival and if it works out it might be a
good thing to pass on to students and such.
It's primarily for original pieces and the entry fee depends on how
large an audience you want and how many performances you plan to do. In my
case I'm doing 6 shows for 50 people and it worked out to about $455. They
provide the venue (they pay rent) with a local theatre, house staff, light
crew, house manager, ticket person, press, and general publicity. We do our
own marketing and pay for rights (if any). I set my own ticket price and
they take an additional $3 per ticket and I keep the rest. They also offer
to compensate pay for your director and performers (Since I am filling both
hats, I plan to pay my director and performer rather well). The average
price is $12+ for a given show, but I'm only charging $7/$5 for mine because
my main purpose is exposure.
Things are going well acting wise, but it is hard to find good work in
Seattle. Unless The Devil & Billy Markham pans out with serious acting
work, I plan to move on to L.A. soon after. I also have my headshots done
and have just joined an extras' union here so I am waiting to see where that
leads me. Please say hello to Faculty and friends at UAF for me.
Best Wishes,
Shannon.
