quick shout out...
.. to all the AMAZING actors I filmed. Your work was enlightening, eternally helpful, and so fucking entertaining I dropped my laptop on the floor while watching because I was laughing so hard. Here’s a list of these amazing people. They should be famous, because they’re all stars.

Phew.
Kit and I have been rolling along- just posted the NYtheatre.com podcast that was a preview for the Ars Nova ANT Fest.. I’m sitting in Sunset Park, we finished the lighting plot, send a few dozen emails, edited (mostly) our film footage, and did our final script revisions. All in a 6 hours work. This has been, without a doubt, one of the best learning experiences of my short life. Also,...

Re-writes and Costume Madness
So last night Jenny G and I sat in my apartment and glue-gunned the crap out of our costumes. Today sequin remnants are thoroughly wedged in the crevices of my hard wood floor. Little bits of clear glue webbing linger on the corners of tables. I have a blonde wig resting on an overturned 2 liter Seltzer bottle. It’s staring at me from its post in my bedroom.
What can I say? In truth I...
PODCAST 2
After a rigorous workshop with our director (11-5…what was I thinking?) all three of us headed over to the nytheatre.com podcast event. It was my first podcast (as well as a first for Jenny & Kel I think) and it went really well. We got a chance to meet some of the other artists performing at the ANT Festival and bookend our day (bookend, new phrase introduced to moi by Kel) with an...

FEELING POS-I-TIVE!
Things are looking good. Obviously we don’t know how good yet, but based on the energy of the people involved things are looking pretty good.
First things first. We locked down our director. The ever fabulous Kel Haney who is currently directing a piece for EST’s ASKING FOR TROUBLE FESTIVAL.
Speaking of ASKING FOR TROUBLE, our very own Jenny Gomez will be performing in the...
FORWARD THINKING
Hey folks,
Things are moving forward in a pretty rad direction. Jenny’s got the filming in check and I’ve done some some work on the music for the live show. We’ve got our director and A.D lined up as well as the wigs and hot pants. I’m trying to work out…you know, cuz I have to wear hot pants. And a bedazzled bra. Working out seems like a pretty good idea. But...

In the thick of it.
Things got a little dirty. The writing process, as normally happens, took a little toll on yours truly and I had the ubiquitous creative meltdown. Pleasantly enough, it practically happened in character. Kit and I have a sporadic process and are going about the playwriting process in such a way that we are using our performance experience as a way to draw the drama from the language. We are...
Tickets
Alas, the tickets for our show are not free but they are ONLY TEN DOLLARS! Booking now assures a good seat and favoritism from the stars of the show.

Wowza. Again, feeling rejuvenated. Once again, Kit and I have returned from Ars Nova feeling super high and super special. We got to meet the whole ANT festival clan (class of 2009 baby!!) and couldn’t be more excited to be part of such a great group (shout out to the Fagettes!).. The crew at the Novs are put together, supportive, and passionate (thanks for the free breakfast!) and their...

Marketing Boner.
Seriously folks, after all the crazy ass grassroots theatre that I’ve done (and I’ve done my fair share, and loved every second of every experience. For the most part….), getting a piece you love with a writing partner that is quickly becoming the creative ying to my yang, fucking rocks. Just got back from the gorgeous, modern Ars Nova where Kit and I had a marketing meeting with...
THE STORY OF HOW
So Jenny Gomez and I met through the Old Vic New Voices Network. We hit it off early on but didn’t get a chance to see each other perform for a few months. Once we did, it was talent crushing on both sides. When I saw the posting for a call of entries to the ARS Nova ANT Festival I immediately thought: 1. I need to get in that. 2. Jenny Gomez would totally do it too.
So I...
WatchTHE TRAIL TO LIONS trailer. This is what helped us get into the ANT Fest. I swear.
