Still nothing yet

I STILL need a job. I have 4 auditions coming up but unless I get a contract that's not the same thing as a job.

I have been offered a 1 day gig for $150 + a new suit. If I can find a suit this will be the easiest gig I've ever done.

I've been offered to teach a workshop slated to start in November. 2 things about that...1) Much like the auditions, until I'm standing in front of the class it's not really a paid job. 2) I am deliberately not mentioning the class because I genuinely like the folks who run the organization and I know they too are struggling for cash but ... well.. they are paying considerably less than I get paid elsewhere to do the same work...on the other hand NO ONE is paying me right now so there's that. I HATE having to give my work away becuase I can't afford to turn work down.

I want SO BADLY to be done with Tapestry Theater and it is still lingering on because Karen and I have about $800 in debts to pay off. I've drafted a workshop/performance scheme that I would like to sell to a college or university for $1200. 2 shows and a 6 hour master class. 1 buyer would pay off the debts and we could be done with this albatross. More than 1 and we could maybe pay ourselves a small token...something we haven't done since the company started.

I was reading some bios for other improv instructors and, as usual, misread the title of one person's solo show. However, the mistake was funny enough to me that I may just find a way to make my own show... how's this for a title:

SHAME FEST

I see a lot of potential in a shame fest. Not certain yet whether I would be shaming other people or exposing my own shame...perhaps both so the show is fair and balanced.
