Short and Lonely Contracts: What to do?

short and lonely contracts

Maybe I’m alone in this opinion, but I think short-term regional contracts are, by far, the loneliest of contracts to take.  If you move to a new area, you build a new life, make new friends, join clubs, etc. If you go on tour, everyone is in the same boat and the people you’re on tour with become (at least some) of your friends. But if you go fill do a quick fill in contract for a few weeks or a month or two in another state where most everyone else on the show just lives there, you’re gonna pretty much be on your own.
