Before I get to the projects, let me first say that if you got here by NOT going through my site, then I need to let you know that it exists. It was created by my "brother by another mother," Martin, whose link you can find on the site. Tell him if you think he did a GREAT job, OK? The site is www.billyholly.info.
Today has been quite a day, two calls offering two projects! One is the sports show I mentioned last entry and the other is a charity showcase for orphans.
The sports "interview" will be filmed this Friday. I will be playing a troubled former-baseball player, Lenny Dykstra, who is being interviewed and later, gets into an argument with someone who stole some of his money in a shady deal. It will then be put on the internet and all of you will be able to see it.
The charity event will be a combination of songs and monologues concerning orphans, presented on November 1 in New York. It will have about two weeks of rehearsals and then off we will go! I am guessing that ticket sales will benefit the orphans and we actors should invite our friends, agents and countrymen. I won't know much more about this for a while. This was the audition that I tried out "Great Balls of Fire" at and they seemed to like it. I also did a new monologue for only the second time. I guess the song DID get their attention. One of the evaluators knew about Mountview, where I had done a musical theater intensive course, thank goodness!
I have another audition in about an hour for a scene from "Death of a Salesman" at Columbia University. It's a director's project that will be evaluated by Ann Bogart, a very well-known director and choreographer. I don't see myself as a Willie Loman, or however you spell that but I don't even know what part it's for at this point...maybe the neighbor?
More to come!
