Sean Astin's There and Back Again to be precise. Not because I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan--I'm not (some of the movies were pretty good and I like the hobbit village of curly haired people). But because I picked it up in the store and realized he was writing about his entire acting career, and it's always cool to get inside another actor's head ( Read more... )

Rehearsal tonight was exhausting but good. It was my big emotional scenes. I cried several times. I love when theatre gets as realistic as possible ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, no rehearsal. If I don't have work (which is likely) I have no daytime plans. Maybe I should head down the the Plaza for some character research ( Read more... )

What did I learn at rehearsal tonight? If you are going to do a stripper move in a scene you should stretch first. :)

Went to a matinee of Transporter 2. I liked it. Funny how I've become more of an action/martial arts film girl ( Read more... )

So I was called in for the full rehearsal today ( Read more... )

I just deleted like 80 people from my email address book. Some of them I didn't remember,some of them I did but knew I'd never talk to again. Most of it comes from my theatre company address book getting combined with my personal address book so all the actors who wanted to be on my mailing list, who I don't know personally, got mixed in.

1st rehearsal last night. It was good. Looks like a good cast.

It's very university theatre class style--I have a character bio due on Thursday--which is what I was craving last year. So, it's a ( Read more... )

So cast party tonight at my house and I'm already sensing there will be drama. Marc is dividing up the "shares" and getting very detailed about expenses which is pissing off Kevin. And might I say... for someone who "just wanted to direct, nothing else" what he's doing now doesn't fall under his job category. It's the producer's job. And if people ( Read more... )

Again I reiterate.... I hate working with "actors" who aren't professional, who goof off, and who don't seem to understand the job ( Read more... )

So, I got a call from the director for the Domino Show I auditioned for last week. And I got a role and it isn't the one of the roles I didn't want. :) I am Grace, the burlesque dancer. :) It's an ensemble cast, but there are some roles that either are tiny or have no character growth. Grace is not one of those. When asked what role I would prefer ( Read more... )
