We're Opening Doors...
Well, some of life's insanity has taken a vacation and after being sidelined for three weeks with a horrible cold/virus/plague, I am finally feeling better and thus ready to tackle some small projects left undone.
Fixed the wonky problems with the site and am almost done fixing this blog so it looks like the rest of the site.
We got out closing notice at Betrayed and our now closing June 16. Not for any financial or audience size reason. We have extended, thankfully, beyond any date that anyone foresaw, but actors' previous projects are now creeping up and the logistics of trying to find and rehearse replacements was going to be a nightmare, so we are shutting the doors...for now. Who knows what will happen with the show as the response is still positive and fresh. PBS is taping the show on June 2 for broadcast (not sure when it will appear on TV). And there are other plans in the works that will hopefully come to fruition.
I am proud of myself for making every single show even when I thought I was going to die from exhaustion or illness. This is by far the longest run I have ever sustained or had the opportunity to sustain so I feel like after the last 3 weeks of double duty and sick (with bronchial pneumonia first and then a sinus infection married to pharyngitis....nice) I can handle anything. It's been rough some night, but I have found that I don't get bored (impatient, sometimes, yes) and am driven by professional obligation and passion. And a paycheck....yes...a paycheck, musn't forget that.
And thank god for Equity League health insurance to get me through the last couple of weeks.
After the show closes, who knows? I am starting classes with William Esper (the man himself) and am looking forward to tweaking and sharpening the tools in the drawer.
I have an amazing audition set for this coming week that could mean something huge if the cards fall right, but I am trying not to think about the situation in either the positive or the negative. Just want to go in, not fall on my face, do my job, and, hopefully, land the job. To say I am excited and nervous would be a massive understatement. This is probably the most rattled I have been since I got to New York (almost one year and 6 months ago).
Keep fingers crosses, candles lit, and prayers uttered.
