Sunny With a Chance of AWESOME!

So friends, today was kinda awesome. Remember how I wanted to put my acting career first? Guess what happened today. I auditioned to replace an actress at 11AM, was cast at 11:45AM, rehearsed 12-5, and basically was told the following. 1) I am going to be paid (yes, cross that off my 2012 goal list), 2) for publicity my face will be on a bus. WHAT?! A BUS?!!!!! I feel like Carrie Bradshaw, I just need a tutu and champagne (no mud please). 3) I am privileged to work with 3 amazing actresses who are pretty big deals. 4) I'm the lead an have 5 rehearsals before an audience sees me-AHHH!!! So I'm super duper stoked. Big time producers, directors, agents, actors are coming to see the show. AHHHH!!!! So excited/nervous. Thank goodness I have my family & friends to stop my major freak out session & remind me to breathe and get to work memorizing lines!

The only downside is that the show I was stage managing is now going to be without a stage manager. I feel bad because I committed to that project and I am friends with the director. I feel really horrible about it all. I am seeking out a replacement so if you live in LA let me know if you want the gig. It pays and the people are awesome!

So today was a pretty big deal. Things are starting to move acting wise for me. SO SO SO grateful for my friend who talked me up and got me the audition. He is a true gentleman and friend. So grateful for the opportunity & that I was ready when it came knocking! :D

CLOUDY (YESSSSSSS) With a Chance of Sleepy!

Oh Theatre Thursday...well I had an audition Monday for MacBeth-it went so well I got a callback!

Thursday at 8:30 I call-backed the crap outta that place! I was there (with 4 other actors) playing until 10ish. We were all reading for Hecate & the Weird Sisters (aka the witches). It was fun, silly, intense, and exhausting. But damn it felt good to act the shit outta that space. :D

Then I picked Joe up at 12am from school/soccer/chess club. We went to bed at 1:30am. Did I mention I had gotten up at 6 to go to work, worked, ran home to drop the dog off, ran across town to the back doctor, ran home to grab work out clothes, ran across town the other direction to do PT, changed then ran across town back the other direction to downtown for the call back, ran home to scarf down dinner, ran to USC to pick up Joe, then went home again? I didn't? Well that's what I did. SO TIRED. :)

Thank goodness for the weekend! OH WAIT, what weekend? We are swamped with things this weekend to do. I don't think I have time to rest until the end of October in all honesty. Oh well grateful to be busy and for the opportunity to act this week. Keep it up universe! :D

Sunny With a Chance of an Audition!

I have an audition next Monday night-WOOT WOOT! I love having auditions. Especially when they are cold read auditions!!! I hate doing monologues, I do, I admit it. I feel lame & never very great at them. But boy oh boy do I rule at cold readings. You want off the cuff auditions then I am your girl & I will nail the shit of that baby! It's true, I will. So Monday I have an audition for MacBeth. Which I love.

I love the show. I love Shakespeare. I love that it's cold reading Shakespeare so they'll really be able to see if I can handle it or not. I love it all! I also love that it reminds me of MacBeth in college directed by this man right here:



Frank Rutledge-I miss you! "Creepy music, creepy music, creepy music-Kunzui! What the fuck are you doing?!" was this very show. It's where I met my college best friends (we were the Thane's Wives!). It's where my appreciation for Shakespeare began to grow into a love & obsession. It's the show that housed so many laughs within the green room (Ropera! quotes about licking your fingers after you poop, Bowman's nipple). It's a show that will always have a special little piece of my heart.






I am excited to audition for it once again & hopefully be apart of a production once again. I love me some Scottish Play! :D
