You'll enjoy hearing about the attempts to leave "show biz" for the security of a "real job." Imagine trying to convince the interviewer that your University education is, indeed, valuable. And, once hired, what can you do to keep the job that you know nothing about? Or the follies of being hired by an employer who doesn't even want to succeed! Managing! is a story demonstrating the ridiculousness of reality and how it can make for great entertainment. Forget your (un)employment stresses for one night and laugh at someone else's!<BR><BR>Playwright Matty Sayre is a professional opera stage manager and stage director from the <st1:place w:st="on">NE Ohio</st1:place> area.
