I was hired as an actor at the Lyric Opera of Chicago for their season opening of Otello and was offered my AGMA card! I'm now a dues paying member of the union!

Save Broadway Sketch
A little laugh for your Friday. I remembered how much I loved this clip when it was on a rerun the other night...one of my favorite SNL sketches ever.

Headshot Prints
I picked up my headshot prints from the J&S printshop this week. They look great, and it's so exciting to have new headshots. I used the first one at an audition tonight!

Fabulously Funny Website!
Here's a site for all the musical theatre kids out there...The Musical Theatre Dictionary!

Some of my favorites...
Downstage Center- noun- The single most desired position on a stage. MT's with egos will try anything in their might to move as close to downstage center during dance numbers, tableaux, and ensemble numbers. Remaining downstage center almost always ensures that an actor will be in the production photos, which is brills.
Jazz Square-choreography- The most insulting piece of dance to ever be given by a choreographer. A more simplified version of walking (instead of a straight line one merely crosses one leg over the over and repeats in a box formation), jazz squares are the last resort when choreographing a company of Sondheim/Character Actresses and barely-Fancers.
LaDuca-noun- The nonpareil designers of women's character shoes. These shoesfeature the support of a sturdy heel with a softer, malleable sole perfect for dancingand other stage business. Moreover, these are the fiercest shoes that any woman canever put on her feet. The ferocity of LaDuca shoes transcends cast dividends: fromingenues to ensemblists, character actresses to chorines these shoes take anyordinary woman and makes them an MT. If you don't have LaDucas and you're reading this, I have no respect for you.
***and yes, I have LaDucas***

Awesome Advice for Actors
"In order to stay resilient in this business, we need to put stock in the little things: getting a callback, great feedback from an audition, or receiving a compliment from a fellow actor. Success, as we seek to define it, is incremental in its development."
~Kate Wetherhead
'Dear K8' goes on with more great advice for appreciating every moment and not getting hung up on only defining success by great shows in great theatres with great revues. Read the full article here.

Bye Bye Performink in Print
Sad day, the June 19th issue of Performink will be its last one in print. They're going the way of lots of newspapers and appearing only online. I got my letter in the mail today announcing the change and the updating of their website. A fancier website will be great, but I'll miss being able to cut out the audition notices and tape them in my planner...
