Letter #2: Right Now I Have the Best Job EVER

Dear Paige,

I’m on a lunch break at work and it occurs to me to tell you something. Right now I have the best job ever. Please enjoy being in theatre right now and don’t for a second question your choice to do that instead of going to medical school. It’s giving you mad skills you will use professionally for at least 30 years ahead. No, it’s not going to be your profession and you’re going to get let down in the next few years as you figure it all out. But hang tight and learn how to act, direct, build the sets, hang the lights, interpret the scripts, and most of all, hang out with your technical theatre teacher, Andy. He knows everything you need to know about being a project manager and being a fine human being. When he tells you to believe in yourself and your abilities, do it. He’s right. You’re going to learn how to manage both people and work and will find yourself in a fabulous company that cares about their people and is willing to take risks for them — and you’ll be in the big middle of it all!

More soon,

Me
