Okay guys, I'm in a pickle. I have searched far and wide the internet for summer stock or paying summer internships/apprenticeships... I am a freshman in college, I have a great resume, I can interview well, and I know a little bit about a lot. But the problem is I don't have a name for myself other than being a good worker in my college and a resourceful ME back home.
I'm a Tech Direction major and want to get more into sound this summer. I don't have much experience, I have only been mixing for 3 years, don't know how to design a sound show (but do have books coming in the mail to give me an okay start), but am really passionate about sound. I am a carpenter of 5 years, but want to expand my technical pallete. Any ideas of where I could go/tips and tricks to help me get there?
The pay is only an issue because I need a place to live/pay off college loans. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to last me two months into college next year, when I get my first check.
I would like to work in Connecticut or New York, I am based out of Pittsburgh, but my home is in Southern Maryland, near D.C. I have found a few good places (The Roundabout Theatre in NY seems very promising if I can get my foot in the door), but I am just stuck. Am I even posting this in the right section?
In other news, anybody looking for a touring gig? Avenue Q is touring and looking for a slew of people.
Work Light Productions - Employment
It should be one of the first ones, it's based in NJ.

Seeing as I can't rationalize taking a semester away from college, and the fact that I don't personally think I'd be ready for that big of a job and would prefer to not ruin my name so early in my career, I am passing this on to the people of CB in hopes that the show can go on.
Thanks in advance,
-David
