Dreams and plans are in the making...

I took a trip to LA last week for an audition, and after the audition drove around to places I've wanted to visit, and found the neighborhood I want to move to! It's a charming beach town. Little yoga studios and cupcake shops lined the street, and the lifeguard towers on the beach were painted in vibrant patterns.

     I'm enjoying my more open schedule, since my last show closed, and getting to do things I never have time for! Like blogging, and disneyland, and finishing projects, learning Italian, starting a new dance teaching class, and working on new scenes in a my acting class.
   But since the show closed, I've been in a bit of a tizzy with this particular company. It was great to work with a new theater, and I was blessed that they took the chance on a girl they didn't know anything about. Made some fun friends, and got to learn a show I didn't know before. But the show closed, and we didn't get paid. Three weeks later, and still the promise of a paycheck without receiving my money. Its sad to see a theater struggle to bring in audiences, but its frustrating as a poor performer, who needs that little paycheck to fill up my gas tank so I can go to more auditions!

     Oh, and I'm doing the most important thing a growing performer can do- seeing other live performances weekly! I live in such a great city. Best shows of the summer? Robin and the Seven Hoods at The Old Globe and Limelight: the story of Charlie Chaplain at La Jolla Playhouse. So much talent on those stages!
