Music Man

I’ve been going back and forth about The Music Man more than I ever expected. I was originally offered an amount that I felt seriously undervalued what I was being asked to do as both director and set designer, so I countered. That number was declined, and the offer was raised by $1,000 instead. Now I’m sitting here wondering what to do because, creatively, I really want this show. There’s definitely some FOMO involved because I know exactly what I could do with The Music Man, and I think I would regret watching someone else direct it knowing how badly I wanted to do it. But I also don’t want wanting the opportunity to mean undervaluing my time, experience, and the amount of work involved. So now the question is whether I counter one more time and try to find the number and terms that make it worthwhile, or accept that sometimes wanting something really badly still doesn’t mean you should say yes to it. This one is killing me.
