Monday Fun-Day!

Hello World!

Don't be miffed by the title of this post (and don't ask me what "miffed" means either) -- I am aware that today is not, in fact, Monday. It's Tuesday! But yesterday was Monday, and it marked the first of three consecutive Monday performances of a fun show I've been working on over the past few weeks called "RANT!" If you live in Los Angeles and want to come see me perform, here are the deets in the oh-so-effective bullet-point format:

• Who: The Theatricians (and me)

• What: RANT! A night of monologues and music

• Where: The Ruby Theatre at The Complex, 6476 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood CA

• When: 3 upcoming Mondays: March 19th (oops, you missed that one! It was yesterday!), March 26th, and April 2nd. Doors open at 7:30 pm; show begins at 8 pm

• Why: because you love me? Or tolerate me? Also, there will be beer and wine (on a school night!!), so that's an incentive, right? This show is short and sweet! None of this "come-see-me-in-a-four-hour-Chekhov-play-and-my-character-only-appears-in-the-final-act" business

• How: do you get tickets, you ask? Reserve online: http://www.theatricians.com/home.html -- tickets are $15 at the door, $10 if you reserve online and mention the discount code "Email. You can check out the Facebook event if you prefer that means of invitation:http://www.facebook.com/events/339408639429751/

Here is a picture for all you visual learners out there:

Last night's performance was a success, if I may say so myself! So if you're serious about coming (and if you're not, I won't take it personally), do yourself a favor and reserve a seat asap! This sh*t's gonna sell out!

I even performed with a lovely case of Pink Eye -- ohhh the beauty of live theatre! (note -- if you've ever wondered what it's like to be a leper, with people terrified of coming into contact with you, let me know and I'll give you a butterfly kiss! Seriously, if you're looking for an avenue to make people to stay away from you, Pink Eye is one of the most effective).

In other recent news, I just shot a commercial for Official.fm. I shan't disclose the details before it airs, but I'll be sure to post it when I can see it! You can also look for me on the walls of any Microsoft store (they have those now -- in LA we have one at the Century City Mall) as a result of my latest print job. It was my first role as the "young mom" (short hair = "edgy girl with dragon tattoo" or "young soccer mom" in the commercial world, most of the time). I'm posing with an adorable little baby.

Finally, if you're craving some musical theatre, check-a-me-out singin' one of my favorite show tunes:

Hope to see you one of these Mondays!
