Goals

Short Term Goals:

Within the next year, I hope to expand my theatre experience with university, community and professional shows. Over the summer of 2010, I intend to participate in my local community theatre. I was unable to apply for summer stock due to scheduling conflicts. During the next school year, I hope to stage manage another show here on campus, as well as take the stage management theatre production techniques class.
During the fall of this year, I will begin submitting applications to summerstock companies. My top choices are currently Santa Fe, Tahoe, and Utah. However, I am always open to suggestions, particularly if there are any opera programs that I haven’t discovered.
Next fall, I will begin taking Spanish to fulfill my language credits. This will include the Spanish drama class, so that I can learn more about theatre in other cultures. It is my goal to become fluent, before attempting the French or German language, while here at Henderson. At some point, I wish to begin learning Italian. I am going to start with personal programs until I am able to find a tutor to assist me with the language.
With the intention of increasing my ability to read music, I will be resuming piano in the fall. I believe that doing so will increase my marketability both to graduate programs and future employers.
As I continue to study here at Henderson State University, I will be maintaining a high G.P.A.
I will be applying for the stage management mentorship program with U.S.I.T.T. next year. If this falls through, I hope to be a student volunteer again. While at U.S.I.T.T. in 2011, I hope to sit for a portfolio review.

Long Term Goals:

After graduating from Henderson in the Spring of 2013, I will be attending graduate school. It is my hope to attend the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinatti to obtain a Masters of Fine Arts. I want to stage manage opera and as far as I can tell, they are the best equipped for such training.
My second graduate school option is the University of Delaware Professional Theatre Training Program. The program focuses on the classics, something I would enjoy greatly. Second to Opera, it would be my dream job. The program is intense and I feel it would better prepare me for the life I want.
It is my ultimate goal (and far-fetched dream) to stage manage productions either at La Scala in Milan or at The Globe in London.
