Hello from the road! Here on the South Pacific 2nd national, we have just finished our first three cities (Waterbury – Palace Theater, Boston – Boston Opera House, and Baltimore – Hippodrome Theater) and are on our way to Jacksonville (Times-Union Theater)
now. So far, so good! It's been an incredible experience working (and
playing) in different cities and theaters and experiencing different
working conditions. Each space is unique so it adds a new challenge
figuring out the logistics of the show with only an hour spacing and
sound check meeting prior to our first show. Like I said, so far so
good. Our theaters and audiences have been amazing and incredibly
receptive. Let's hope Florida keeps with the trend!
From outside the Green Room:
I was able to meet up with some friends and family while performing in
Baltimore which was really great. When you're out on the road, it's nice
to have little breaks to get away from the show and spend time with
people who knew me “pre-QLC” (quarter-life crisis). They definitely are a
great support system, and it was great exploring the cities with
natives so they could take me to all the hidden gems!
Lessons Learned:
A strong support system in necessary to keep going strong in this
industry. It is so important to have friends, family, and my faith as a
constant remainder that I made the right choice and I'm not going
through this alone. It's easy to get lost in the chaos and uncertainty
of this life, so it's definitely nice having some reassurance along the
way. Find those that know you and love you and make sure they've got
your back... sometimes they'll believe in you more than you do yourself.
Hope all is well,
Andrew Mauney
