first rehearsal part the first
WOW.
That about sums up the first night of rehearsal. I could use a slew of other words and phrases: fascinating, in depth, profound, unique, productive, creative, collaborative; but when I try to describe the experience to the people in my life familiar with the theatre process, I stop at “Wow.”
This was unlike any first rehearsal [...]

officially “in the biz?”
I was already planning on doing some major trimming down if I got the part of Mimi, both for the sake of the crack whore look AND for the fact that I will be dancing around on stage in my skivvies. YOWSUH! Then, my director called to chat about the “emotional climate” in my house [...]

If one is number 17 to audition at a theatre, and 14 of the previous 16 auditioners are AT LEAST 10 years younger than one, whatever is one to think about said theatre?
Well I thought that perhaps I had inadvertently stumbled upon a student operation…which is FINE. These kind of youth productions are necessary [...]

SNAFU
I put the wrong email on my resume…the one I handed out to 25 theatres?!?!
So I contacted the email that is listed…and met the owner of said email. She promised to forward any emails that come to her to my ACTUAL address. UGH! I have NEVER done something THIS STUPID!!!
Oh well, what is done is [...]

nerves
I am rare.
I don’t really get nervous.
Usually I will have them AFTER a performance.
Auditions are a little different.
Tomorrow are the Houston Cooperative Auditions. All (or at least most) of the regional theatres in town get together and host two long days of mass auditions. You are given three minutes in which to do whatever it [...]

YES PEOPLE. IT IS TIME. IT IS HERE.
Incidentally it is also queer but that is soooo not the point. It just rhymes.
The first of MANY upcoming Houston productions of this beloved favorite will come from a little known Pasadena company called Slightly Offcenter Players. The auditions are a few days after I return from vacation. [...]

December and January: SPRING AUDITION SEASON (dun dun duuuuuun…..)
Time for new head shots:
This was a self portrait taken in my bathroom. Hey! I am NOTHING if not resourceful.
