Jan 18, 2007

On Jan 2nd the rep from Florida Studio Theatre called my agent & left a very nondescript message: "We're going in another direction."
2 call backs, keeping me on hold over the Christmas holiday AND calling people off my resume for references.......they didn't cast me. I spoke to the people that gave references & they gave great referrals...?!

I'm over it. It would have been a fun comittment, but such is life... I know, there's something else waiting in the wings for me....
Ahhhh Life.

My agent's assistant asked me if I wanted to be submitted for the European Tour of West Side Story for the character Gladhand..... I asked if it was B & B Promotions? he said yes...I said NO! a few years ago I was cast in the South Asian Tour of the same role & show & they did not include in the breakdowns that the "guaranteed 24 weeks of work" were in a 52 week contract & there was no pay for the weeks not worked, along with other discrepancies.
again, Ahhh such is life.

I did begin to pen my 3rd screenplay, and the investor's trailer for "Mary's Dilemma" is almost finished with editing. I also put the screenplay up for sale so which ever comes first.

I have extra time on my hands now... well sort of.... I still work daytime about 25 hrs per week at Plays for Living but Lincoln center is dark right now so no need for us Union Ushers. We go back to work there when "South Pacific" go into Previews on March 1st.

How is my life? DO I have all that I want? No. BUT Am I better off today than I was one year ago? Yes! So for now I have no complaints.

I love to share, thanks for reading.
