A New Acting Job

Got another role. It's a small theater in Hillcrest called the Real Theater and we are putting on a series of one act plays in March. The show is called March Madness and I'm in the one act called "The M Word" written by Alan Ball (American Beauty, True Blood) about two professional people discussing a marriage proposal as if it were a corporate merger. Very funny.

I'm excited and thrilled to be a part of it. Last night was the read-through and then we only have ONE scheduled rehearsal before the week of the show. YIKES! I've got a lot of learning to do. The show opens March 6th and will run Friday and Saturday nights through March 28th.

The theater just opened and it's inaugural show is Star Spangled Girl (Neil Simon) opening Jan. 23rd.

The First Gig

Okay - lots of you on Facebook asked how it went so I figured I just put the one post here instead of trying to write to everyone. It was so much FUN! Everything was digital and HD. It was shot on a green screen so I can be placed in a home setting. It's was really tough standing in this huge room all alone with cameras and lights pointed at me.

They had me say each line several different ways looking straight into the camera. I think the hardest thing was figuring out what to do with my hands! I had all the lines memorized, but I was nervous and at one point, just completely had a brain fart. My mind went blank and I just stopped mid-sentence. It was so weird because I knew it, I just couldn't remember it for a second.

Then it was all over. It only took about 20 minutes for the whole thing. They don't know yet where or when it will air, if at all, but they are going to send me a copy when it's finished so I can add it to my "reel." I'll post it as soon as it comes in so everyone can check it out.

I'm addicted...I want more!!!
