A Young Actor in New York
Jaime is a young actor who has strong ambitions, not to become a famous Hollywood star, though he would never resist that should the opportunity present itself, but to perform in quality original productions and eventually start a theatre company that supported the development of original work. He lived in a small town in rural Kansas before moving to Houston, Texas where he was able to stay with a friend while he looked for a job. Soon into Jaime’s life in Houston he became involved in a company that represented all of his major theatrical interests. He worked with them regularly for a year and was invited to join the small ensemble for a tour to New York. This was almost too good sounding to be true, but it was the chance to perform on a New York stage was suddenly available to this young but passionate actor. Jaime accepted the invitation without hesitation and the company decided which two plays they would take with them. They booked reservations for a two week stay in one of the hotels New York USA and already had worked out a contract with an Off Off Broadway venue on 42nd Street.
Jaime had the time of his life while in the city. When he was not onstage he ate great pizza in a sidewalk café and even talked one of the other actors into taking one of the city tour bus rides. This actually turned out to be more entertaining and informing the either of them expected and they learned a great deal about the early development of New York and the history of some of the city’s landmark buildings. Jaime also visited the Empire State Building felt a little dizzy at the top. The views of the city were incredible though and the trip ended up being one of the highlights of Jaime’s first twenty three years of life.
