What I Did On 2009-01-05

  • By busy schedule this week: http://tinyurl.com/8cxran #
  • Off to buy some fruit. #
  • Enjoying fresh strawberries and a cup of Peach White tea. #
  • OK, no voice over for “The Interview” which means “Bright Flames” rehearsal tonight. Maybe, and that’s a maybe, for voice over tomorrow night #
  • Which means possible missing a Gwinnett Gladiator’s hockey game Thursday so I can audition for Driving Miss Daisy if I can’t tomorrow night. #
  • Those last two tweets were both exactly 140 characters. #
  • Crap. I may miss an audition because of all this re-arranging. S’pose I should at least email and express interest in auditioning. #
  • Know the director of Driving Miss Daisy, but not sure who is directing Sabrina Fair. It’s at Kudzu and they like me, so I have an in at both #
  • Not that having an “in” means getting a role. Just that they know my work. #
  • On my second cup of Mandarin Orange Green tea. #
  • Well, I am off to Bright Flames rehearsal. #

First full week of 2009

Today, I mailed off the application with headshot and resume for the Unifieds. Deadline is January 16th. Hopefully I will be accepted again this year. Last years attendance got me auditions at The Alliance, Theatre in the Square, Marcus Jewish Community Center Theatre and with Tyler Perry Studios. This year, I plan to work with Pat Hurley on a couple of monologues in preparation for the Unifieds.

Tonight will be one of two things: Ether voice over for on the short film I did in August (The Interview). And/Or rehearsal for Bright Flames TV. Let’s talk about The Interview. My understanding is that this is nearly complete in post-production. Matt McGahren is hopping to submit this for the Atlanta Film Festival. Deadline is this Friday. I assume the voice over is for my part. I guess the sound is not what they wanted when originally shot. If not tonight, then tomorrow evening.

On the Bright Flames TV front, apparently Robert Howell has found a crew with equipment so we are not dependent on the local community TV studio. The local community studio never could get their act together, so this will be good. Robert wants me (and I assume the rest of the cast) to do a voice over for a trailer. And the new shooting location is at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. Looks like a very nice place. If The Interview voice over is tonight and early enough, I can make tonight’s Bright Flames rehearsal.

Tomorrow AM is a stress test with the cardiologist to see if I can exercise without killing myself. I have been on medication for high blood pressure now for 6 days. Not fun. I have to drink plenty of fluids so my pressure does not drop too low. It did Saturday night, not enough intake during the day. So light-headednes kept me from going to the Gladiators game that night. Last night I did not sleep very well. Due to fluid intake/output, I believe I am short on Potassium. My back of my legs really ached. Very painful.

Tomorrow PM. Depending on if I do not have to do The Interview voice over tomorrow night, I plan on auditioning for BOOLIE WERTHAN in Driving Miss Daisy at Act1 Theater. BOOLIE is the son of DAISY WERTHAN. But if the voice over is tomorrow night, then I will audition on Thursday night, missing another Gladiators game.

Wednesday PM is an audition for Sabrina Fair at Kudzu Playhouse. I think I would make a good DAVID LARRABEE. DAVID is the younger brother of LINUS LARRABEE JR.

Thursday PM will hopefully be a Gladiators’ game, but that depends on … well, see above.

Friday PM is supposed to be another Bright Flames rehearsal.

So everynight this week is something. <sigh>

Linus Larrabee-; the father, whose one passion is attending funerals
Margaret-the Larrabee maid/Mother figure to Sabrina
David Larrabee-the younger Larrabee son.
Gretchen-David’s ex-wife
Sabrina Fairchild-, the daughter of their family chauffeur. She is bright, well-educated, and has just returned from five years in Paris, where she has done a brilliant job as an executive in a U.S. government overseas office. She has come home to find out if she is still in love with the younger Larrabee son, David.
Fairchild- the chauffeur who has been dabbling in the stock market and likes his job because it gives him time to read

2 young women-at the party
2 young men-at the party

Monday’s Auditions

I went to two auditions yesterday: The scheduled audition with Theatre in the Square and an open audition at Lionheart Theatre Company.

For the Theatre in the Square Audition, I arrived 15 minutes early and they were running 45 minutes late from my scheduled time. So I waited an hour before I auditioned. I was called in, did my 1 minute comedic monologue, read the part of FLAGMAN and was dismissed. Callbacks are on Friday. I am not hopeful, but just have been seen at a professional theater is good.

The timing worked out good for the second audition which was at 7 PM. I arrived from Marietta to Norcross by 6:30. Lionheart Theatre was holding open auditions for their production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder. I read mainly for the part of STAGE MANAGER which is the narrator through the entire play. I believe I did well, but I am not hopeful.
