Gearing up for January

Pirates opened to good reviews on friday. One such review, by Beverly Creasey, mentioned me by name. I guess that thing about 'no small roles' is true after all. This weekend's shows are selling well, and we are recording a cast album on thursday. I haven't been in studio in ages, so it looks to be a good time.

Sexually Frank has been submitted to its first round of festivals, and is garnering its own share of press. Check out an interview with director extraordinaire Frankie Frain here.

I've started submitting for auditions in January, and have been working on my mailers. While my hopes are not high of being 'discovered' in time for pilot season, my goal is to be called in for multiple principals for next year's summerstock.

A Hell of a Town

The inevitable has happened-- I've started considering relocating to New York. I find myself continuing to wait for work that local casting directors and "industry professionals" promise will arrive...to find a big fat nothing.

I am a little sad that I've locked up my weekends for the foreseeable future. It has put a real dent in my ability to take on student films, which leaves me with an incomplete reel. I need to start seeing what older footage I can get my hands on from High Heel Samurai and student films.

On the to-do list for today: renew my StageSource membership, and sign up for ShowFax on Actors Access. I don't know how much work I can realistically submit myself for with my limited availability, but I think its worth a shot.

On the list for the near future: get a new headshot. One with my hair down, looking prettier than I do in the old headshot.

Game plan now that weekends are unavailable: earn as much money as humanly possible this Christmas season to prepare for probable moving expenses.

My current commitments have me in Boston through the end of January. I guess we'll see if work magically shows up between now and then.
