I'm moving to Alaska in September. I mananged to land this season long internship with a theatre up there as Props Inten. So I'm going to be living in Juneau working for Perseverence Theatre. Not only am I excited about the location ( any city with more hiking trails than roads is a great place) but the fact that this theatre is doing vital interesting theatre in a small city (Juneau is 30,000 people with no road acess). Some of the shows that they have done in the last year include Tommy, an orginal work about the Raven in native mythogly and Equs. They've in last 7 years they have also done HEdwig and Angels in America Millennium Approachs. So I'm looking forward to doing a good mix of stuff as well as getting to know this place.
Now I know I'm gonna get questions like "Chris you realize its gonna be colder and darker than WI, right?" Well sort of, it will be darker but not 3o days of Artic darkeness, I'm well south of the Artic circle so the earlist the sun sets there is around 3:00 pm which is earlier enough, but it won't be weeks of total night. And for the cold issue, since Juneau is located between the ocean and the moutians, I get to live in cooler wetter version of Oregon. There winters are in the 30s and 40s with rain and occsional snow. When it was 20 below in Wisconsin it was round 38 above in Juneau, which really made me want to relocate then and there. Rain will be interesting to deal with as Juneau is in a temperate rain forest so it gets a lot, somewhere in 100 inches are year mark so I'll have to get used to being a little damp. But yeah I'm moving to Alaska. :)
Nothing like having the family spread from Deva Romania, to Juneau Alaska. :)

wow! Congrats on the job! I hope that you will be happy there. I look forward to a beautiful pictures when you get there. Best of luck darlin'!
That's AWESOME!!! Congrats :):)
That's so cool. I'm so excited for you. YOu'll have to let me know about the culture of Alaska. I'm glad you found an exciting gig at what sounds like a progressive theatre in an interesting city. I'm confused about when exactly you'll be there though. A season? Are you still spending the summer in New Jersey? Email me. Send me your address. Most importantly - what does this mean for me? Are you still going to be able to send me books. Do they have a lot of books in Alaska or are they harder to find? More expensive? Please let me know. Don't keep me in suspense!
Yeah, congratulations. Now call me so we can go out for pizza already. xx
