New Beginnings

So its been MONTHS since I last posted. I got out of blogging because well, I had better things to do. Since I last wrote my foot as healed completely. Not back to dancing yet but I can wear heels! WIN!!! I'm happily single but still going on dates every once in awhile. I prefer to have more me time these days.

I had a BIG audition for the Shakespeare Theatre Company for their 2011/12 season. Hoping I hear something...but probably won't. Pessimistic, yes, but that's the business. You pretend you didn't get it, so when you do it's exciting.

Other news, I moved to another condo...got a great new roommate. He's a guy...we'll see how that goes.

So yeah, things are going well. I have now realized that when you hit a slump in your work day...eat some Doritos. I'm satisfied. Or drink a coffee...I'm doing that too.

I'm thinking of creating another blog...one that's not about my life...one that is about things that make me angry. Thoughts?

Move Over Mrs. Markham

So I haven't blogged in AGES.. Life has gotten in the way and I have been quite busy. I was cast as one of the leads in Move Over Mrs. Markham at The Little Theatre of Alexandria. I am one of the babies of the group but we all adore each other and are having fun. Ok...adore each other sometimes.... KIDDING!! We have a very talented cast and they keep me in stitches. Nothing like bs'ing with your castmates over drinks at Columbia Firehouse.

For the longest time I wasn't confident in my acting abilities because of the whole Aspen debacle, but finally I have gained it back and I am ready to rock and roll. I will hopefully be blogging more often about my theatre adventures and the fact that I am about to move into a new condo on the 1st. Pictures to come soon once its decorated. It's just ME on the lease this time, so I am super nervous to have all this responsibility.

Also, follow my theatres blog too: thelittletheatreofalexandria.blogspot.com There will be pictures and stuff on us and what all we do in rehearsal. I will be posting stuff on here when I can.

XOXO

Times are Unpredictable

Some of you or may not know but I am doing a show up in New York City. Its non paying and its for a festival, but it is damn good experience. It has made me realize that i dont want to move here unless I have my Equity Card. This life up here is soooo insanely hectic and fuck is it expensive. I can totally see how this city can bleed you dry and take away your soul. But it IS exciting at least. I enjoy DC so much because I get city life as well as suburbia and i can actually afford it!

Rehearsals are going well. I am 90% off book and have a week to finish it all up before tech week. I have a fun cast and a great director. Im enjoying working through the script. The bad part is commuting. Im fucking exhausted. Im spending over 8 hrs of my life commuting back and forth. It tends to be a bit lonely though. I am glad i have great friends who give me places to crash. I just wish i could share my experiences with my close friends. Its a little scary to be on a bus considering all the crashes that have happened in the last week or so...but if its my time....it is my time. Sucky to die on a bus though. I wish i had money so i could go shopping but i dont wanna bring back bed bugs...GROSS!! Tonight i get in at 11 pm and will have to do a whole bed bug prevention...starting with washing and spraying all my bags....fun. Sorry guys writing this from my phone. Love and peace to you all.

PS this stuff in Japan is terrifying and incredibly sad....donate people! They dont need prayers they need money.

An Actor in the City....New York City to be exact

So for the month of March I will be commuting from both DC to NYC to do a show at the Manhattan Repertory Theatre. I will be playing Samantha in The Unpredictable Times. We run March 30th and April 1 and 2. I am going up today to rehearse then i head back to DC. Probably will have another blog post up after rehearsal. I'm on the Megabus now....my back hurts. Gonna take the subway up to Times Square ans chill before rehearsal! Cheers. Living the dream.

Aspen...the aftermath.

I am back from Aspen and reflecting on the whole experience. Overall, I think it was a good one, but it certainly had its ups and downs. After my last post, I had the last two performance on Monday and Tuesday. I have to say that for me, they went well and I got a lot of compliments from the audience. I don't know how the director felt, but I'm not too worried. I can only be true to myself, that's why in some weird way I really want my tattoo after this experience. If I hadn't had my foot issue my butt would have been on the ski slopes, tearing it up. I had no idea that such an experience could get me to doubt myself as an actor. Am I giving up on my dream, no, not yet. Am I a little more cautious now, yes and that sucks. I have several auditions coming up in February which is exciting and terrifying at the same time. February and March are HUGE months for auditions here in the DC/MD/VA area. On the 13th I have two auditions in ONE day! Kennedy Center in the morning and The Little Theater of Alexandria at night. I most likely won't be singing for the Kenn Cen auditions because last year I just sucked....trying to save my face this year. We shall see how it goes.

Anyway, this turned into two blog posts in one. Maybe I will post Aspen photos, probably not.

I am home. It was an ordeal. The end.
