Oh hey. Fancy meeting you here. Ready for a quick month in review? Ooooookay…. GO!

The play went off pretty much without a hitch. I made all of my money back and I even made a teeny profit and paid my people what was made. L.A. is definitely happening and it looks like it’ll be happening in July. It’s been decided that MS is coming with (which I guess now makes any past reference of him in the blog slightly more significant).

That was quick, huh?

I’m heading to L.A. tomorrow morning to find our new little place. Once again I’m learning ANOTHER lesson in letting go of control and chilling out. I’ll be there looking at neighborhoods, etc. and considering that the last time I had to find a place was my senior year of college, I’m a little nervous— no credit (really) and no real rental history.

Anyway, I’m sure it will be fine and it’s only a year in place. I want to walk in some charming little garden apartment, feel that “aaahhhh” feeling, apply and call it ours. It can’t be that hard… right?

Wish me luck! xo

“Lowe’s never been one to seek comfort, though. Good thing, too, since his chosen field, show business, forces people into discomfort pretty much all the time.”

We’re going! We have the rights, we have a WEBSITE (http://2girls1pizzaman.tumblr.com/), and we have a place to buy tickets (buy tickets)!!!!

I guess saga IV is getting people to buy tickets!

Tumblr and twitter friends, come and show us some love!!!

Yesterday marked my 1 year anniversary of quiting TV Production and really pursuing my acting career. Within the last week I met a person who may be very influential in future steps, and SAG and AFTRA merged to become a super union! Although the year seemed slow moving and barely progressive while I was going through it, when I look back on it, it proved to be pretty great! I had my mute but large part on “Unforgettable”, was a core Russian Waitress on “Are We There Yet”, got to the final round of a documentary casting, started working freelance with a commercial agent, and began the process of producing a play.

All in all I’d say it was a productive year!

Although I’ve gotten decently far within a year here in NY, I’ve felt stifled and held back. Maybe that’s luck, maybe it’s as far as I can get in my career, or maybe it’s just not the right time, but I’ve decided to move to LA in June to see what else I can accomplish. Although EVERYTHING I love is here (my parents, my friends, New York City and Bella) I can’t just do this halfway. I left my old life to accomplish as much as I could. Therefore, I present to you what I shall call the “LA Chronicles”, to document it.

It’s been a great year. Stay tuned for more to come! xo

Well, the play is progressing BEAUTIFULLY. Great director, great cast, great crew, but WE STILL DON’T HAVE THE RIGHTS. For all of those who are considering producing a play, let me give you a warning: The play publisher needs to know what theater you are putting your show on at, and the theater needs money in order to reserve the space. These two things rely on one another!! Knowing this, I knew I couldn’t submit for the rights, and I was too scared to put down money, so 2 months before the play was going up I said a big, “fuck it” and did both. So now, I’ve invested money, and time, and so has everyone else, but we don’t have the rights. I feel like it will work out, but there’s no guarantee and it scares me a little.

So, to you aspiring producers, what is the lesson here? I’m not sure actually. I don’t know what would have been a better way to do this, but what can you do? I guess do it even more in advance…?

Well, back to memorizing lines (btw, I’m totally off book, just fine tuning!), and perfecting this play that will (it’d better) go on.

It is stressing me out to no end. For those of you who don’t know what being off book is, it means I need to have all my lines memorized for the whole play. 3 characters+ 80 something pages of lines= a shit ton of lines.

I’ll get it done!

…I hope
