The first two shows have gone great, with the Sunday 9pm show definitely shining over the opening night. And if that pattern persists, then it can only get better from here! I’ve posted pics from the tech rehearsal in the gallery for everyone to check out. Thanks so much to those of you who have seen the show already! I’ts so fantastic to have such supportive friends, family and colleagues, and I am so thrilled that you enjoyed yourselves!

For those of you still planning to attend, please take a minute to wait in the fringe lounge behind the box office after the show so I can say hello and thank you!

Enjoy the show everyone!

Well, we have had a ridiculously productive week rehearsing for this show; we have a rehearsal every night this week. We had our fight rehearsals over the weekend with fight choreographer Dave McCormick. I learned so much, and I have to say, the fights are gonna look awesome! I’ve been practicing my slapping, and I think I’ve just about got it down. Our tech rehearsal is at the theatre in Hamilton on Thursday, and we open Saturday. A great group of people have already RSVP’d on the Facebook Event for the show, its so exciting to know that people will see this and enjoy it!

T-Minus 4 days! Can’t wait!

I am very excited to have my new voice demo ready for submission! I have now posted it in the “Mixed Media” section. If you have a second, I would be honored if you would listen to it, and let me know what you think using the contact section! Thanks!

I recorded the demo with Kim and Craig of Kim Hurdon Casting, and I was so happy with the entire process; they were so helpful to work with. I’m really excited to get this clip out there!

Thanks again!

Another commercial audition today for “Project Medic!” Awesome and exciting! This ball is definitely rolling in the right direction! I ran into Trevor who I worked with at Fearfest at Wonderland in the audition waiting room, and I went into the audition with Jenna who I worked with on the film “The Boulevardier” last week. Small world!

And now, to book the gigs!

I had three, yes THREE auditions on Thursday/Friday! Two commercials and an industrial. I’m sooooo excited at the prospect of booking something! I really itching to be on set right now! Think positive thoughts with me, lets all channel “The Secret” together! Ommmmmmmm….

Here is a quick quote from writer Sabrina Noble about her new play “Dark City Street”, that I will be a part of next month at the Hamilton Fringe Festival. I play Sidney Sheridan:

“Directed by Julie Florio and written by Sabrina Noble, Dark City Street is parody of film noir: the conventional male characters are female and vice versa. It’s a murder mystery that will put a smirk on your face.

Sid (Sidney) Sheridan: Female 20s: Drew’s daughter, not known for her brains but valued for her obedience.”

Sound like fun! Venue, ticket info and show times are now posted on the gig calendar.

I hope to see you there!

I got a part in the Hamilton Fringe Festival production of “Dark City Street” by Savage-Noble Productions. I am playing Sidney (Sid) Sheridan. I’ll post more info on the production after my meeting with the Director and Producer on Tuesday.

Also, I had an audition with Charles Roy and the Classical Theatre Project Team on Thursday, and I’m crossing my fingers for a company spot in their upcoming season! Cross your fingers with me? I would LOOOOOVE to be a 2008/2009 company member and be a part of their productions! Thanks!

This past weekend at the Actor’s Symposium was fantastic! Who knew you could pack so much information, experience and learning into two days! I had a chance to see Ron Leach again after taking his Audition Dynamics course in the Winter (which was absolutely an invaluable class!) and I also had a chance to learn from Brian Levy, Crystal Kramer and their guest Steven Mann. I’m overwhelmed with the opportunities and possibilities that this weekend has opened my mind to, I just hope I can effectively follow-through with what I have learned and take my career along for the ride!

Ron, Brian, Crystal, thank you so much for including me in this event, I am truly honored to have participated.

Today’s recording session was fantastic! I’m so excited to hear the Vex commercial on the air. I’ve been told to keep an ear to 104.5 and 103.5 in Toronto, but its also airing in BC, Alberta and Nova Scotia! I’m getting a copy when its completed that I will be sure to post in the mixed media section in case you don’t catch it.

Thanks so much to Mike and Pino at Post City Sound, and to Manny, Jody, Nadine, Richard and Jimmy for making it such a great experience for me!

Vex anyone?

I’m very excited to be recording a radio commercial this coming Monday at Post City Sound. Its for “Vex” drinks, and if you happen to catch it, please please please let me know what station you were listening to?

I have also narrowed down my headshot choices, and I want to thank everyone who gave me feedback on the shots. I really appreciate all of your thoughts and comments, its so great to have opinions from so many entertainment professionals that I have such respect for.

I’ll be scanning the final shots this weekend and will hopefully have them laid out online soon after.

Thanks again everyone!
