came in. It was an important hub for the North Texas theater community to find new gigs in a way that was informative and easy to read. But after nine years, the website has shuttered.I ran it for about six months remotely from New York,” he said. “It’s just, I kind of want to get into this theater scene up here and it was a distraction.
He taught himself how to work with software, then got a day job as an IT professional. But he kept a foot in the theater world as managing director of Pegasus Theater. Then he tried acting as a hobby again in the late 2000s.I noticed that there was not really a very good place to find auditions,” he said. “So I thought, let me see if I can do something better.”He asked around the theater community about what they were missing from other audition notice forums. He said it came down to one issue.
Kedzierski spent several hours a week maintaining the site at the height of its popularity. He corresponded with those who sent in submissions to gather additional information, correct grammar and put entries in AP style. For Kedzierski, an effort to solve his own problem wound up helping thousands of others in the theater community.
