Decided to consolidate my past "news" updates into one blog. Future "news" updates will be individual blog posts. Makes sense, yet it took me 2 years to figure it out

August 2010

I am Not Engaged......despite all appearances in a viral campaign for the healthy snack food Pop Chips. Brought to you by director John Pina, watch the video to see the most epic [fake] marriage proposal to ever grace YouTube. Gentlemen, pay attention (or you might miss the product placement!).

Laughter for a Change received its first grant - from google! More info on L4C: www.LaughterforaChange.org

I recently had a blast collaborating with fellow OU alum Ben Begley and Michelle Gritzer on their webseries 24 Minutes. The series spoofs the popular FOX show 24 and will be premiering in one minute segments online this fall.  

The Long Beach Poppin' Play festival opened last weekend, including two premieres I've been in rehearsals for lately. 
 James Scarborough called the West Coast premiere of Brooklyn playwright 
Nathaniel Kressen's Jumper's with the Gypsy "edgy and profound." The two-person show runs every Saturday night til Sept. 11th.


Also on the bill is my take on "Yin" in Craig Abernathy's short play, What Can We Do?, directed by Jeremy Aluma (of my recent Durang run). According to Scarborough "It comes across as [T.S. Eliot's] 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' on Red Bull." Sweet! For tickets and more information about the 11 plays in the festival, check out Alive Theatre's Website.

I recently became a client of Phil Brock's management team at Studio Talent Group after meeting through Twitter's LA acting community July Generals experiment. We share a love of hiking, community outreach, and social media; I couldn't be more excited about our collaboration!
Twitter is also working to unite LA Theatre Artists with the advent of the hashtag #LAThtr. Read more about the Twitter/Theatre initiative here.
