Sarah Gehring hasn't added a story.
As you may know, I'm working for a Small Professional Theatre as an
apprentice right now, hopefully the starting point of my career as a
theatre artist. Although I am working over 50 hours a week as an
administrative assistant, casting director, box office, website admin,
and assistant director of community partnerships, as well as being the
assistant director on productions, I am being paid about $100
quarterly, along with housing. Such is the living of being a young
person in the arts. In order to make ends meet I have been working
graveyard shifts once or twice a week, which require me to work for
about 20 hours straight (did I mention no days off ever?).
My birthday is on the 29th, and I am asking for help. I am
asking for the ability to rest for 8 hours every night. I am asking
for the ability to grow as a theatre professional by fully committing
myself to the work, and not being distracted by my desperate need for
outside jobs and money, or utter exhaustioin. I am asking for a small
safety net in case I need to make a co pay this year. Any kind of gift
you guys can make would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to see exactly what kind of work I'm doing, go to
portlandplayhouse.org (which I helped create)
portlandplayhouse.tumblr.com (which I created and run),
portlandplayhouse on instagram (which I run), or Portland Playhouse on
facebook (which I have nothing to do with).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please feel free to share my
small campaign.
