31 Day Fitness Challenge

So like many of us, I have fallen off the bandwagon this winter with my fitness habits.  Holidays, cannoli, and the weather have not helped.  Still that is no excuse!  Summer is coming and with it the dreaded bathing suit…

On the Air: In Concert – Recap

So we did the In Concert version of On the Air to a well receiving crowd this month.  I’m very happy to say that it went very well, albeit a few hiccups here and there regarding a flying moth (don’t ask), but the feedback we’ve received has been very positive and we feel even better about where we’re going with it in the future.

We have a few things lined up which we can’t share with you JUST yet (I know, I know. I’m cruel.), but I CAN share some photos of the concert that Ned Barber was generous enough to take!

Outlander NY Premiere

Last night I attended the NY premiere of Outlander’s second half of Season 1.  It was a #TartanAffair filled with lines, Scots, and good-looking men in kilts.  Oh the episode was pretty good as well 😉

I arrived around 5 to get online as one with Confirmed tickets.  I can’t tell you the confusion this was.  There were two lines, people with confirmed tickets, and people with first come first serve tickets hoping to get in.  We later found out confirmed tickets meant nothing for some (which I will delve into a little later).  To give you an idea of the craziness, here are the lines:

11 Thoughts Every Actor Has Had

As audition season is nearing its end, I thought I’d do a post about what every actor has thought of/gone through at some point or other.

You are not alone.

1.  Wait, we need a monologue?

Can’t we do two sixteen bar cuts?

Staying Motivated

The past few weeks I’ve been deep in the land of audition season.  I’ve also been extremely busy with some new developments with On the Air (which I hope to share with you all soon!).  I’m sure you can imagine I’m slowly losing my mind (what else is new?) and I have days where I rarely want to get out of bed.  And with days such as these, would you?  I’ve realized however, as I’ve been lining up on lines from here to Timbuktu, that I’m not the only one.  I see a lot of friends and colleagues on these lines and they seem to share the same disheartening, bleary-eyed view–why am I still doing this?

A Gingerbread House Demolition Tea

In case you missed it, I had made a Gingerbread House for Christmas this year.  While I was making it, my family kept asking me what I would do with it.

Me: “Well, it’s meant to be eaten.
Mom/Dad/the bro: “You can’t destroy it!
Me: “Well, it can’t stay there forever.

After they finally resigned themselves to the fact that it would eventually be destroyed, my mom came up with the idea to have a Gingerbread House Demolition Tea.  It would be a fun way to destroy it, while getting rid of all that gingerbread at the same time!

That’s exactly what I decided to do.

Mother nature however, had other plans as it randomly decided to throw a blizzard our way during the time of the tea.  A lot of people couldn’t come, but some still braved the weather (couldn’t believe they trekked out in that!) and decided to come.

Good times were had by all!

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

2014 was a crazy, whirlwind, exhausting, inspiring, self-affirming, and life-changing year for me.  I finally became more focused in my career.  I learned to trust my instincts and not be afraid to speak up about what I want.  I traveled, worked, laughed, cried, relaxed, met some amazing people, and started a blog!

Broadway Shows I Want to See

I get a lot of my friends,particularly those not in the business, asking me which shows are great or which ones they should see.  There are a lot of shows that I want to see and many that I no have desire to.  Being a performer and writer in this business I go see them for many reasons.  I thought I’d give a list of shows I want to see and why. Broadway shows also make great holiday gifts!

Shows I want to see (in no particular order):

images[4]Aladdin

It’s been out a while now. Besides the fact that I loved the movie as a kid, I’d like to see what all the hype is about for “A Friend Like Me”. I saw the Tony performance and while it was enjoyable, I don’t see how it gets a standing ovation every night in the middle of the show. Maybe it’s something you have to be there for?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The_Last_Ship_Musical[1]The Last Ship

I was skeptical about Sting writing a musical, but I heard some if the music and it sounded pretty good. It also got some great reviews. Unfortunately it’s not doing so well and Sting has stepped in to help boost ticket sales. Not sure if I want to see it with him or wait till he’s out…
