Well, well, well... looks like 25 is my new lucky number!! (listening to: the Hallelujah chorus)
So, today is my birthday. Which isn't all that great, considering my dubious birthday track record. However, this one is absolutely fantastic thus far!! I have tickets to the Flaming Lips show tonight at the Fair with the very lovely KR, which I've been dying to go to since I heard they were coming to town.
But, not only that, I have ALSO been cast in my first TRP show! I will be playing Giles in their production of The Mousetrap this winter. Details on their website or mine. For those of you keeping track at home, this makes 7 auditions, 7 callbacks, and 7 castings in a row. I'm on a heater!
Thanks to everyone who's wished me a happy birthday thus far today, and if you haven't.... where you at?
PS- Daisy has been accepted to some acting program in LA, so her decision to move out west is now definite. Please wish her the best as she moves on to fame and fortune, as we all knew she would.

TAPE
Two shows down, Three to go. (listening to: "I Fought the Law" by Eddie Cochrane)
**UPDATE**
Only one show left! Please come and see it if you haven't yet!!
**END OF UPDATE**
We had our second performance of TAPE yesterday afternoon, and open our third this evening. Our first show was meekly attended, but those who were there were very responsive and clearly enjoyed the show a lot. Yesterday was MUCH better number-wise, and the audience REALLY enjoyed themselves. They were laughing at all the right times, and quiet and thoughtful exactly when we wanted them to be. Also in yesterday's audience was a reviewer from the St. Paul Pioneer Press. His review is below:
Stephen Belber's play — which was made into a 2001 movie with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — is really more an exercise in dialogue than a story. This story of three people in a motel room rehashing the events of a long-ago night has more improbabilities, red herrings and false endings than a bad detective novel, and its 20-something characters are Myopic with a capital M. But the first-rate cast of Christiana Clark, Stephen Frethem and [The Madjai] gives a smooth and polished reading under the able direction of Dana Buchwald. Nothing too Fringe-y about it, but a good effort.
- Dominic Papatola
Basically, he didn't like the show, but he liked us. Fair enough, Mr. Papatola. Fair enough. If you haven't seen it yet, please come. Dates and times are on the Fringe Festival website. Or, you can check out my homepage with a link on the right.
