It's been a fun couple of weeks in the city because there has been lots to look forward to.  Mom came into town last week for my birthday so I spent a lot of time staying in Midtown with her and seeing shows.  First we saw "In the Heights" a new musical about my current neighborhood.  It was very bizarre to look at a stage and see a set which was ( Read more... )

I woke up today, saw the nine inches of snow outside and thought how beautiful.  I didn't have work, no place to be, maybe I would take some pictures.  Well, the pictures will be on Facebook shortly but it's amazing how in New York City sometimes just stepping outside can be an adventure ( Read more... )

I haven't touched this thing in ages.  Trust me, it hasn't been because I haven't been thinking or wanting to journal my thoughts and life.  I don't really have a good excuse ( Read more... )

Ok. Finally updating a week later. Last week I started work at Broadway.com/Theatre Direct International in the Fulfillment Department. Basically, I do a run to the downtown or uptown box offices once a day (usually downtown) and I help carry out ticket orders, do breakout (it's a sorting process) and generally help make things happen. I'm also ( Read more... )

I leave for my new job at Broadway.com in thirty minutes! Update to come later. Very excited. :-)

I had far too much watching High School Musical 2 tonight. Since when does Zac Efron have a six pack and amazing pecks. Holy shit, it was so hot ( Read more... )

So when the entries last left off I was on my way to Provincetown on the journey back to New York. Provincetown was of course beautiful with its lighthouses and sunsets and beautiful ocean shore. Combine that with tons of gays, happy families and great shopping and you've got just about the best escape you could ever wish for. It was great to be ( Read more... )

All Shook Up closed Saturday night. It was bitersweet, it was a blast, we sold out our last week, it was a ton of feelings all at once. Don't know if I'll ever be heading back to the barn so that was something else to grapple with. An actor never really knows where their life will take them ( Read more... )

A very close friend of my mom's family and my aunt's partner's son Ryan Caliendo committed suicide earlier this week. He will be missed by many of us. When I stood on stage this week performing in All Shook Up the hopeful lyrics of "If I Can Dream" seemed such a stark contrast to the despair and shocking conclusion one must reach in Ryan's ( Read more... )

I was home for about two weeks and thankfully got to see lots of friends. I also saw my baby sister Sarah graduate from high school. She will be attending University of Arizona in the fall. It got me a little emotional when she walked down the aisle to take her place. I couldn't believe that was me just four short years ago ( Read more... )
