Acting News


I have lots of new acting projects coming up! First, Pride and Prejudice with the Newton Country Players begins tech on Sunday and opens March 14. Here is the website for buying tickets: http://www.newtoncountryplayers.org/. After that I will be performing "the Irish lass" in a short play that is part of SLAMBoston, co-produced by Another Country Productions and Company One, two groups that I am so excited to get to know! I haven't started rehearsals yet, but I have been practicing my Irish accent and slang. And third, Matt and I are both going to be involved in Boston's 48 hour film project the first weekend of April. I am acting, he is assistant dp/editor. I was really impressed by the performance quality of the clips I saw from Frog Pond Production's first feature length film, so I am a little nervous, but I hope to get some good advice and guidance from my...acting coach!


I am going to start meeting with Antonio, who was my favorite professor at Emerson, once a week or so. I think that the one-on-one time with someone I really respect as an actor and teacher will be so useful for me and I am really looking forward to it. Again, I am a little nervous, but it is a good nervous. I know he will push me to become a better actor and give me lots of insight on the process, my process, all of these things that I need to be thinking about.


And, I have not had to start my socks over since the last post. I think they are going to fit perfectly. They look gigantic, but that is because they have to fit over my gigantic calves. I hope I don't run out of yarn.


I am watching the mail for my new sewing machine so that I can start on my one-thing-a-week sewing challenge!
