What are good cities to find theatre work in?
I recently received my bachelor's degree in theatre and am in the position to move, just about anywhere...but I'd like to know where there are hubs of theatre where I can find good, paying work. Washington and Texas states are preferred, but I'm open to other suggestions. If you list somewhere, please tell me why/give me actual reasons/theatre names. Don't say Hollywood or Broadway, please, let's be realistic.

Answer 1 :
Send your resume out to various Theaters in the areas where you want to work. Even Hollywood and Broadway hire occasionally. Seattle has a large theatre community as does Austin and Houston. If you don't get a hit from any of those, try to contact the theatre unions in those towns. Also look into going on the road with a band or show. Just get out there and look, there are all kinds of ways to get a job.
Answer 2 :
If you're really looking for theatre, NYC, Chicago & Atlanta are your main hubs - Dallas has a few theatre spots as well. Why not bway? You say "be realistic" but Washington & Texas are clearly "unrealistic" for theatre. Are you a member of a union? That will determine where you'll get the most work. Atlanta is a right to work state, so you don't have to be equity to work there. But if you want to get paid, you need an equity card....that goes for Chi-town and NYC and Dallas. actual reasons - bcuz those are theatre hubs....... theatre names - you should probably do sum research yourself.

Answer 1 :
They live in denial because they are a bunch of hippocrytes.
Answer 2 :
There are certain reasons that the American public shouldn't know where politicians live.
Answer 3 :
Suburban Virginia. Liberals tend to prefer to live in the District of Columbia itself.
Answer 4 :
Wherever they wish. Prolly on really nice estates too. Just like all the other politicians.
Answer 5 :
While some GOPers live in DC, they tend to flock to the Commonwealth of Virginia, since they feel safer in "a death penalty state." (I swear, a hard core GOPer once suggested living in VA for this stated reason.) They also prefer VA because it provides for legal discrimination against gays. It should be noted, however, that Northern VA is quite Democratic. The DC 'burbs (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, etc.) are the reason Sen. Webb won in '06 and swung the Senate Democratic.
Answer 6 :
If the Liberals had their- way probably in the parks on benches instead of Red-Roof Inn's.
Answer 7 :
In more of the upscale cities such as Potomac, Md, Chevy Chase, Gaithersburg, Germantown. and certain parts of Va such as Fairfax, Rossyln, Tysons Corner area and its a couple more cities and towns in Va too just cant think of them right now.
Answer 8 :
The White House
Answer 9 :

Answer 1 :
I'm not positive, you should check with a professional, but I'm pretty sure you'll pay Oregon income tax. I know a lot about the tax system (my grandfather was a CPA), but confirm that with a professional, not me.
Answer 2 :
You pay state income tax where you live & either the employee or employer pay state unemployment tax where you work.....so the answer is yes. You will pay Oregon state tax if applicable...
Answer 3 :
Yes
Answer 4 :
Generally speaking, a person who works in one state and lives in another must report the income to both states, but effectively pays tax only at the tax rate of whichever state has higher taxes. If both states tax the same income, then the person claims a credit on one return for either the tax paid to that state on income also taxed by the other or tax paid to the other state on the income also taxed by the first state whichever is less. To clarify, the credit only applies to tax on income taxed by both states, not to tax on income tax by only one of the states. In the specific case of an Oregon resident with income from Washington state, for 2007, you could claim the credit on your Form 40 Oregon resident return, line 38. For 2007, your credit was the smallest of the following: • Your Washington State 2007 net tax liability. • Your Oregon tax liability after all credits, except the credit for income taxes paid to Washington. • The amount figured using the following formula: Divide your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) taxed by both states [this would be the amount earned in Washington] by your total MAGI. Multiply the result by your Oregon tax after subtracting all other credits. In other words, your MAGI taxed by both states ×Your Oregon tax after subtracting all other credits / Your total MAGI. For 2008, the rules will probably be similar, but the line number might change. Oregon does not tax active duty U.S. military pay earned outside of Orgeon. If this income was reported on your federal tax return, you include it on your Oregon return, but claim a subtraction using code 319. This does not apply to work as a civilian federal employee or to national guard/reserve weekend training.
Answer 5 :
Yes. If Washington State had a tax, you would end up filing both Oregon and Washington. ( You would just do NON RESIDENT for the state you did NOT live in.) But since WASHINGTON is a NO STATE INCOME TAX state. You just gotta do OREGON (+ Federal). Oregon taxes you because you live there, use their roads, their housing, their policing, etc etc. And if sometimes it really sucks, I lived in Multnomah county once, and I worked in Vancouver, I had to pay, Federal + Oregon + Multnomah County itax. ( That really sucked, what's next BLOCK TAX? - can you believe a county can make you file & pay taxes too?
