the sonnet project on a morning talk show

Hey All:
One of our actors was on a morning talk show chatting about our project. Check it out...I am telling y'all this project is large in scope and will be a blast!

Morning Talk Show with the Bard

Class 1

I had my first class with the Pearl on Monday and it was fabulous. I am with a great group of actors and we are going to have a blast working on these Shakespeare scenes. My first role is Rosalind in As You Like It...and let me tell you it is a beast. I am so happy to have this challenge early on and I am falling in love with this character. I am so excited to see where this goes and I know I will come out of this 8 week class with a better understanding of how to tackle text, emotion and action!

Launched

the sonnet project has launched....please check it out! This is a great company and a wonderful undertaking that I am in along with 153 other actors.

I am in a BOOK

I just found out that I am in a published book. The Best plays from the Strawberry One-Act Festival: Volume 2.

Did this play a while back...made it to the semi-finals. Wow nice to have this for the archives!

Crafting anyone?

I am embarking on a 6 week course with the Pearl Conservatory. I am so excited to do something that is simply for me. A way to continue working on my craft and to realize why I still try to do this whole "acting" thing.  I am looking forward to meeting some new actors and to work with such a reputable company. I also like the fact that we had to submit our resume (only serious actors wanted) and if they thought they were not up to snuff we had to come in and audition for the class. I am pleased to say that I was considered "serious" enough...no audition needed.  Well wish me luck and I will keep y'all posted on how it goes.

Funny Story

Over a month ago I submitted my headshot and resume to a theatre company because I was unable to attend their auditions. Well today I received an email from the Executive Director telling me that the actress they had cast in the role I submitted for dropped out so she wanted to know two things:

1- Could I make a last moment audition by 5:30?

2- Do I really look like my headhsots...because if I do... I "look" or am way too young for the role. And what was my real age (curiosity)?

I assured her that I do indeed look like my headshot and that I just had them taken (4 months ago) and that I did not have any touch ups done to them. I then sent her 2 unprofessional & recent pictures of me to prove my case.

This is the headshot I sent

 

 

 

A picture taken...when I was tired, sweaty and after a 7 mile ride

 

This was my latest picture (2 weeks ago)

 

 

 

I was not asked to come in for the emergency audition.

The role was for a woman in her early 30's...what was I thinking????
