Hello!
I'm a California-raised Korean currently finishing up stage management internship at the National Theater Company of Korea. As my internship comes to an end, I'm wondering if I should explore my options in the Americas again before deciding to stick around in Korea for good. But to be frank, I've no idea how to even get started on the search in terms of jobs and I was wondering if I could get some advice on couple concerns I had:
1. As a foreign national is it possible to work on union productions?
2. Are there theater companies/rental companies/tour teams that could sponsor a work visa?
3. Is there a website for theater job listings?
4. In Korea, experience on productions abroad don't always necessarily "count" unless its with a production with high name value. Should I assume this to be the same if I do decide to look for a job in the States/Canada?
These aren't really specific questions and probably not questions that are frequently asked..? So If anyone has any general thoughts and comments even remotely related to the questions I've posed, I'd really appreciate it
