It's a Wrap!

Haven't had a chance to blog about my experience doing the show, Forever Fosse. It was a really wonderful opportunity to perform and do what I actual came here to do...perform! Even though it was a small theater, production, etc... I loved that I had rehearsals daily and that I got the opportunity to sing. I am definitely going to look for more theater opportunities. Here are a couple of fun pics:A compilation of Cabaret, Chicago, Damn Yankees and Sweet Charity, Forever Fosse was a blast! Needless to say, we were dressed (or not dressed) for most of the show...hence the black lingerie. Mom and dad approved ;)

Um...somebody thought they were hot stuff apparently. Nice collar (thanks Jeanna for the loan)

LA Comedy Fest and other stuff...

This morning my performance improv group, Duck Tape, and I are hoping to "wow" the organizers of the LA Comedy Festival so that we can perform as part of it in November. After almost two years of working together, each of us knows the strengths/weaknesses (not that we have any) of each one of us. I believe that our biggest strength is our ability to work together as an ensemble...there isn't any of the "hogging/showing-off/selfish" stuff that often times plagues an improv group. I feel really fortunate to have such a kind and committed group of professional actors to work with! Wish us luck.

On another note, I've done some more work with General Hospital and I absolutely love it. I would love to be a part of this show....mostly because the cast and crew are so darn nice. Not to mention, Gwen, the casting director, is the sweetest woman I've met down here in LA - - always quick to respond to me and just treats actors like "people" which is so refreshing.

I've had a good few weeks. Forever Fosse is wrapping up this weekend and my parents are coming down to see it -- yeah! I was also booked for a comedy pilot...and then cut from the script (boo). Such is the life of an actor.

I start my photography classes again in a few weeks and I am so excited to develop my skills in this area. All in all though, a great summer but I can't wait until I book even more jobs.
