GOT AN AGENT! -Dec. 18

I last mentioned getting two call backs.  Well, change that to four in ONE WEEK!  Two were for musicals, "Cabaret" and "Anne of Green Gables," one for a film, "Patriotic Retribution" and one for a TV series pilot, "Beat Cafe!"  With the Holiday break, I'll probably be waiting for a while until something happens in January. 

In the meantime, I have a little film project for "Alcoholics Anonymous" that will be Sunday.  It'll have a  "vintage" footage look from the 1950's.

However, the BIG news is that I have an agent to freelance with that handles commercials and TV.  Some people end up with several to freelance with, working unsigned.  However, I'd prefer to be signed with someone at some point.

I went to their office, did a monologue, read a commercial and they suggested I start doing voice overs here, as well, something I've been wanting to do, as I had done them in Europe, so why not?

Today, with a very nice lady, we sang Christmas carols at a soup kitchen on the lower east side of NY.  It was an extremely moving experience that is difficult to describe.  It was a very special morning, to say the least.  I got there about 15 minutes early and the line had already covered one side of the block and much of the other side, as well.  It all opened 75 minutes later and as soon as they got in the door, the frustration of waiting out in the freezing cold was forgotten and a party began!

Last weekend, I joined a LARGE crew in doing a make-over for a MS teen who only had the use of her head.  My job was detail painting, something I've done before for theater work.  You should have seen Keosha's smile at the end!  There must have been at least 50 relatives and friends that came to the "reveal!"

Between these two experiences, I can again see how we are all one family on this little planet.  God is so good.

"PERPS" ARRESTS AUDIENCE!

Tonight was THE night!  Our audience crowded into the Loewe Reading Room at the Dramatist's Guild for six of our songs and to hear from Laura's hilarious script!  Laughs abounded and now we'll see what happens next.  The site for the show will hopefully have photos from the show and maybe some clips... Who knows?  Look at http://perp-o-rama.com/ for the bios for now!

It's a majorly busy weekend that will include TWO call backs and an audition that I was selected for, after sending in my resume and photo.  That really contrasts with the rejection that has been such a challenge so far.  It's especially nice since they're PAID projects!
