Two people that I went to drama school with are nominated for Tony Awards this year.
That just put my acting “career” into perspective.
As an actor and a frequent audience member of theater production I am saddened to see that there tends to be a lack of manners by audience members. And what saddens me even more is that people from my generation, young adults, are the ones that tend to text, show up late, or do other things that annoy me.
So I wrote a blog (on my acting blog) about my rules that people should abide by. Follow the link to read it and tell me if you agree with my rules or if you think there are rules I missed.
I got to see the musical Hair this week. I got to dance onstage at the end of the show. And I got to meet and talk with some of the cast members. I wrote a blog about that so if you are interested you can click the picture to read it.
Roar Theatre was chosen as one of the 365 things to do in San Diego. Awesome timing because our sketch show opens this Friday!
Actress Fiona Shaw agreed to have her brain scanned while performing parts of TS Eliot’s poem The Waste Land.
I like knowing that my brain works differently when I am acting. :D
This is the Criterion Theatre along with the signs of the show, 39 Steps. Very good- I advise anyone in the London area to go and watch it. I’m not that big on theatre- although I do have a soft spot for the thespian arts. However, watching this made me appreciate it even more. So much talent, not only by the actors but all around really- lighting, sound effects, props, costume design- brilliant.
This is one of the best shows I have ever seen!!! I agree that everyone working on the show was unbelievably talented. Plus the Criterion Theatre is absolutely beautiful.
All of us have two barrels inside us. The first barrel is the one that contains all of the juices which are exuded by our troubles. That’s the neurotic barrel. But right next to it stands the second barrel, and by a process of seepage like osmosis, some of the troubles in the first barrel get into the second, any by a miracle that nobody fully understands, those juices have been transformed into the ability to paint, to compose, to write, to play music, and the ability to act. SO ESSENTIALLY OUR TALENT IS MADE UP OUT OF OUR TRANSFORMED TROUBLES.
