What about a regional theatre co? Or work experience to get your foot back in the door?

I was fired due to imcompetance by accidentally recording a show. If I done the equipment checks properly I'd have seen there was a minidisc in the recorder and removed it, as it was I didn't and the wrong person found the recording, then they went apeshit at me over copyright. I know they were just trying to scare me now, but at the time I was somewhat scared of being sued.
When applying for jobs after that I found they'd told various people what have happened, or they told theatres who called them to check my CV with them (having worked for both Welsh National Opera and Prince Charles on there makes it slightly unbelievable) which meant nobody wanted anything to do with me. Now, I'm not in a position to get any work experiance (my fault, can't drive to the places where I'll get it). Something I want to change though, so the current job is just a holding position for now...
