Women In Theatre Holiday Party

Thanks to Carmen Scott and her friends, the WIT X-mas party was a blast! Carmen did so wonderful, and the mood was perfect, and I got to meet a bunch of new people, including Casting Director Lavonne, who got married on the same date this year as Stephen and I did.

The Party had some great food and wonderful sweets. They also raffled away some theatre books, 1 pair of Theatre tickets, jewelry, and something else, that I can’t remember.

Joining Women In Theatre is always $10 off the yearly Membership fee and we had a few people join tonight. (The regular annual Membership is $50/yr.)

Anyhow, I hope to see you guys and dolls at the next years Women In Theatre X-mas party. To check out WIT go to www.WomenInTheatre.com

SAG Launches Online Service For Its Members!

I went today to the SAG Conservatory Board Meeting and it was quite exciting to hear all the great things that SAG is planning for their website.

But one of the great things that already happened is that you can finally upload your headshots and resumes onto their website.

You can upload up to 5 headshots and 7 types of resumes:

    • Background Resume
    • Dancer Resume
    • Principal Resume
    • Singer Resume
    • Puppeteer Resume
    • Voice Over Resume
    • Stunt Resume

This is awesome! This feature is only for emailing or for database search, not for casting. That will come down the road. But it looks really great!

So, if you are a SAG actor, go and log in to SAG and click on “My Resume” to start uploading your information.

Screening of a Film I Helped Cast

The Lost Journal Of Vice Marceaux poster

Last night, on the 9th, we (my hubby and I) rode down to USC to see JR’s film “The Lost Journal of Vice Marceaux” at the Norris Theatre.

In August I helped with the casting sessions and of course I wanted to be at the screening to cheer on JR and the cast and crew.

The film turned out wonderful and I’m proud that I could be part of it! It was also wonderful to see all the familiar faces I’ve worked with in the past (and hopefully will be working again with in the future.)

During the reception the rain started coming down and I did not want to get on my bike to ride the 7 miles back home. But I had no choice.

We pedaled out into the rain, and as I felt my thighs getting wet, I also started warming up. We passed the Staples center, and traffic was all jammed up, and the only things moving on the road were us and the pedestrians.

It was awesome! That’s one of my favorite parts of riding my bike. Passing all the cars and not being stuck in traffic. I loved it!

Eventually the rain stopped and we rode to El Gran Burrito on Vermont and Santa Monica Blvd. to grab a bite to eat, and we met a very nice Australian family.

By the time we got home, our clothes were dry and I had a smile on my face. Another evening filled with friends, adventure, and a good ride!
