About once every three months I'll get an e-mail from someone who's graduating from college with a theatre degree and has begun the process of trying to find work. This makes me happy and nostalgic.

I wish I could offer them work, but since CoD is pretty much just me and Sharon getting up enough script, gumption and money to stage something, there's not a lot of steady work or job security. So, I send them to the Sunday classifieds of the Star Tribune, in the 550 section, which lists the performing arts want ads.
