Now I’m REALLY Famous!

I didn’t know how I could top yesterday’s post about being cast in Guys and Dolls, but how about THIS? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4567988/ Yep. That’s me. I’m officially an “actress.” If I ever get an agent, I’ll make sure he puts a great picture up there. A nice, photoshopped one, of course.  

Luck Was A Lady Tonight

I’m floating on air! I was just cast in the musical Guys and Dolls! By the way, I stole my blog title from a friend on Facebook. He’s quite clever. I have no idea what the show is really about, nor have I heard any of the songs. (Other than Luck Be a Lady to [...]

Look What I Found!

Ever find a note left inside a library book? (Sometimes the note is more interesting than the book itself!) I love to read other people’s notes. Not people I know, necessarily, but just random notes. I think about what the story is behind those notes. I wonder if the recipient got the note, or if [...]

The Miracle on Olive Street

As many of you know, our church is putting on a production, The Christmas Shoes, tomorrow night and Saturday night. Our last dress rehearsal was scheduled for Tuesday night because, even though we wanted to have a dress rehearsal the night before the first show, there were too many school-related activities, so in reality, about [...]

Oh, and One More Thing, Hollywood…

When you cast a b-list, or heaven forbid an a-list, performer in some kind of crime drama, we already know that actor is the guilty party. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be on the show for just a scene or two. Their parts will have to be significant, and therefore, they are the killer/robber/kidnapper. As much as [...]

Note to Hollywood

It is been said recently (and often) that politicians are out of touch with the common man. I believe that is true of Hollywood as well. For example, I know very few people that drop “f-bombs” as often as they use the word “the.” But, watch a few rated R movies, and I begin to [...]

Still Laughing!

As many of you know, misspellings in public drive me nuts!  I may not have blogged about it, but it truly gets to me.  In fact, recently I ordered a cookie bouquet for a dear friend who just had a baby.  On the bakery’s web site, the picture showed a cookie that said, “Its a [...]

Things That Keep Me Up at Night

Okay, these things don’t exactly keep me up at night, but I do wonder about them. How long will we still be using the phrase “hang up the phone?”  We no longer use “dial a number,” we now “call someone.” On a similar note, it is so frustrating to not be able to “slam” the [...]

Nunsense

Friends have asked for details about the next show I’m in (and, no, I’m not making that up), so here’s the link for the info!  http://www.moonlightingtheatre.org/ Note:  Friday night for an extra $5.00, you get to play Bingo with the cast before the show!

The Acting Career, Part Deux

I just finished up my second play ever,  “Anne of Green Gables.”  I had a very small part, but I truly made the best of it.  I loved every minute that I spent with the cast and crew, and had an amazing director that was always open to ideas.  Plus, she complimented me on my [...]
