it's over

and, oh yeah, the shows are over. suddenly. at one point it felt like they'd never begin or end and now they're over. time to move on. it's a very weird feeling, but i don't have the sadness i did after book of days.

atlanta here i come

i bought a ticket to atlanta today to visit a certain georgia boy who i've known for a million and a half years. i'm really looking forward to seeing him, but i'm still a little peeved that he screwed up our plans to go elsewhere...first it was montreal, then boston, then dc and new orleans was even a destination for about 5 minutes. i mean (and no offence to anyone) but what is there to do in atlanta, anyway, besides drinking a pepsi in front of the coke museum? (and i'm going to hold him to his promise to come up to nyc for my halloween party because he screwed up our vacation).
seriously, though, i'm glad to be going. i love catching up with him and i desperately need a little time off and away from nyc (the last time i left was for a theater retreat on long island in february). maybe i'll even be able to relax and do nothing for an hour. i think the last time that happened was when i visited him in north carolina a few years ago.
i leave friday. yes, i know it's very last minute. i hope 1. that the week goes very quickly, because i know the weekend will definately go too quickly and 2. that i somehow find the time to get everything done this week that needs to be done.

sex, drugs, rock'n roll and conjoined twins?

i saw the poster and i was interested.

i watched the trailer and got really excited!

first off, the poster reminds me of trainspotting, which is one of my favorite movies. it's about punk music, another love. and it's got hot boys in it, which is always good. so what if they're conjoined twins? i guess it's trainspotting meets velvet goldmine if ewan mcgregor was a conjoined twin. this is the first movie in a long time that i've really been excited about...my roommate commented how twisted it looked...so does it surprise anyone that i'd get excited about it? i'm so there opening night (july 28th)! i just hope it doesn't suck.
and yes (after some research) they are twins, but they are not really conjoined. :)

buzz buzz

so not only has united stages wrote an article about priscilla (the show i'm acting in), william niederkorn (the shakespeare scholar and nytimes writer) came to opening night of hamlet and wrote about it on his blog. it would have been nice to have been written up in the times, but we'll take what we can get. ;)

headshots and costumes and theater...OH MY!

the shows are going. we're getting some nice buzz and united stages even wrote a piece about rewriting shakespeare/priscilla/jeff (the playwrite). check it out: www.unitedstages.com
i think the shows are going well (even if last nights' performance was possibly the oddest i've ever been involved in). had a bit of a break down about the costumes for hamlet (long story), but everything seems to be running smoothly now.
my mom is in town and this will be the first thing she's seen me in since 2000. i kinda wish she would have come for book of days last year, but nothing i can do about that now. tomorrow we're seeing hamlet and saturday my roommate is taking her to see me in priscilla. i'm a little nervous about it.
despite the press attention we've gotten, we're not getting much of an audience. so if you're in the nyc area, COME SEE MY SHOWS! they're good...i promise. (see previous blog for show info)
also after a lot of deliberation, i've narrowed my headshot choices down to 4. i just need to knock one more off and i'll be set. it's SO hard. i've never had so many pictures of me that looked good. grrrr....
which one would you vote off the island? (please remember that these are yet to be touched up before reproduction). there is another shot that i'm definately keeping. i'm only including the three that are questionable.

new headshots

i got new headshots taken a few days ago and i need to pick two or three to touch up and then have reproduced. maybe i'll start getting called into auditons more often with these.

any favorites?
