‘Momager’ Continued from page 36

Melissa Chamberlain says it was Andrew’s theater experience at McCarter, which requires hours of rehearsal time and several mati- nee and evening performances, that helped prepare her family for the new whirlwind of activity re- quired by his success. “We made adjustments and completely orga- nized our lives around Andrew’s schedule. But we were so thrilled he was having the experience, and we enjoyed every minute of it.” She says their home life is not as affected when Andrew is making a film. “Shooting a film is a different type of disruption because Andrew and I are away from home. Fortu- nately, we haven’t had to go too far for too long — Brooklyn for ‘Bub- blegum’ and we’ll be in Sussex County for ‘Hide Your Smiling Faces.’” Chamberlain says no day is typ- ical, but each day can be as ex- hausting as it is exciting and fulfill- ing. She says the skill set she ac- quired working as a marketing di- rector would make her a good pro- ducer. “While films are artistic en- deavors, they are also products that are enormously expensive to pro- duce. I’d be the person watching the bottom line.” But when it comes to managing Andrew’s ca- reer it’s her organization skills that are most called into play. “We use a giant desk calendar to get a quick visual take on what we need to do and where we’re going to Virginia in 1988, she began her Lights, Camera, Action: Clockwise from upper left: Karron Graves (Fan) and be but sometimes an audition will marketing career in that state, Andrew Chamberlain (Scrooge as a boy) in 'A Christmas Carol,' McCarter come up, and you have less than a which is where she met her hus- Theater, December, 2009 (photo: T.
