People. People in art will GIVE YOU THE BUSINESS. Here is why you will go crazy: Some people tell you that you are absolutely really good.  Then other people tell you that you are absolutely not any good.   I have been acting a lot lately and I have been getting both these reactions.   It's delusional to believe one and not the other, but it is impossible to believe both. It's the business.

Several years ago I went to Egypt with my cousin to visit her family who lives there.   Her girl cousins waited up for us the night we arrived in Cairo, giddy with excitement. We asked where they wanted to take us. They took us to an Egyptian Hardees. spot the 6 foot tall american! Later we were taken in by a family who owed my cousin's dad a favor of some sort, and repaid it by hiring a

actually, when doing a play, it's probably best not to focus on the play. 1. enjoy the process. 2. even if no one ever sees the process. 3. let's be honest, no one ever sees the play either 4. except for your friends and loved ones 5. and they really just want you to be happy, which you won't be if you're so damn worried that your play will be too long or too heavy handed or not credible or

I've done some mascotting in my time. Let's just say that people treat you differently when you are dressed as a completely anonymous gigantic costumed character with no face.  or a fake face.   People walk up to you and punch you. let me repeat that.

you never know if the play you are working really, really, REALLY hard on will suck for reasons beyond your control. And this is what tempts otherwise sane people to write, direct and/or produce their own material.

In my current play, many friends are somewhat amused to hear that I am playing a Lebanese woman.  It's kind of hilarious. I'm about as Anglo-looking as you can get.  I've even been pronounced "the whitest person I've ever met".   BY MORE THAN ONE PERSON.  However, the greatest stretch is not that the character I am portraying is a 22-year old Arab. It is that she is also a PhD in Pure

I frequently look at their statuses/notes/whosits and think:  What a funny, very smart, exceptionally interesting guy! I am SO glad I didn't marry him!

Last month on our trip, we spent over half our time in Cambodia.  Once there, we resolved to learn what had actually happened with the Khmer Rouge.  We knew it would be grim, but it seemed irresponsible and disrespectful to just sort of know that some kind of genocide had happened. So we bought and read a few history books.  We went to the Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh to pay our respects.  We

I was on hold all weekend to shoot a national commercial. A really, really bad commercial for an unnamed fast food seafood chain. In this commercial, there are two women. One is extolling the virtues of the fast food chain's Super Family Deal to the other, with the emphasis on fried things included in meal.  Stupid but straightforward. So I get paired up with another actress, a talented smart

Tonight is my first night of rehearsal.  My pencils are sharpened, my script is highlighted, three-hole-punched and clamped neatly into my binder.  I haven't started agonizing over what to wear, but that's definitely next.  I only know one kid in my cast.  I hope the others are nice.  I hope the director likes me.  I hope this is fun and good.

I guess I could try to make this about something bigger, but I may as well skip the boring allegory.  Here's what happened:  my real-life-flesh-and-blood cousin just lost her 6 month old baby, who was shaken to death by my cousin's (hopefully ex by now) boyfriend. Everyone in the family keeps trying to find a logic for it.  For example, my mother keeps reminding me that the (hopefully ex by now)

So we got our cousin (who is an amazing professional musician) to play that and another bossa nova standard with us.  I stressed it all week.

Strange success, but: I started therapy this past week, y'all. That's actually a huge success for this girl, who, last time she attempted therapy (at a free clinic through college) was told that she had "some really major issues to work through... more than we can really handle here." The time before that? Therapy involved drugs and hospitalization.  So I found a guy and started on a good

I knew all these auditions with their impending rejection and judgment were making me feel all anti-establishment and slightly nihilistic. And I was on the red line headed to ANOTHER DAMN AUDITION, when I looked up and realized that there was a wall-to-wall, train-to-train freaking BRAWL erupting on the entirety of the Southbound Belmont platform.  And I watched these kids dart, sprint, shove

Generals. General auditions happen once a year. Each theater company holds their own set, and they usually ask for two contrasting monologues.  I challenge you to find me a single actor who ENJOYS doing monologues. BOOM POW POW POW!!!! LIGHT SHOW! THUNDER!!! WHA????? Greetings, young orator! It is, I, Demosthenes (384 BC 322 BC), generally considered the greatest of the Attic orators.

Specifically, the parking attendants in the very large tourist trap that houses the theater where we worked. SOOO mean. So derisive.

Hi. I have something to tell you about booking jobs as an actor. I'm going to say this is true at least 85% of the time.  Getting a callback means you are a strong actor who could play the part. Getting cast means you had the right color hair. Anyone who frequently sits in on castings can't argue. With a few exceptions here and there, callbacks are full of fantastic performances. That really

For college, I moved from a small town in Texas to Boston. I felt overwhelmed and terrified. Freshman year -no, freshman WEEK I befriended a guy named David who lived on my floor in our huge dorm.  He was from a small town.  He was very gay. With nothing to do on an early fall evening in a terrifying big city, we walked down Newbury Street together toward Tower Records, chatting and staring.

A letter from Oscar Wilde, posted on Letters of Note, shared by my cousin Heidi. 16, TITE STREET, CHELSEA. S.W. My dear Sir Art is useless because its aim is simply to create a mood. It is not meant to instruct, or to influence action in any way. It is superbly sterile, and the note of its pleasure is sterility. If the contemplation of a work of art is followed by activity of any kind, the

I woke up for the first time in weeks without something huge hanging over my head. The benefit I produced is over.  We made a night of honest-to-goodness good theater and raised a very decent chunk of money.  My Monday night show is over.  It was a great run and we went out on a fantastic show.  My Cirque audition is over, for better or for worse. It was a struggle and yesterday was tough

from my cousin Genevra's blog: One of my favorite quotes, which found me a few months ago, is based on a Japanese Proverb: Fall seven times. Stand up eight. Earlier today I was not so much ready to stand up again as I was ready to spend the rest of my life face-down on the fucking ground so I would never have to deal with the falling again.

I'm producing a benefit.  You can see Beowulf vs. Grendel at it. Here it is. Please come. It will be very good theater.  It's the kind of theater that makes me want to do theater.

I figure I'll probably be home by lunch, if not a late-morning nap.  Nonetheless, I gotta swing for the fences (wherein "fences" = "6:00, when the day-long audition officially ends").

From an interview with Alec Baldwin, in which he states that he'll quit acting for television and film after he finishes 30 Rock: “The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.” Maybe you never had that because that goal is some unbelievably egotistical sheeeeit.

Shows I do with my company, Barrel of Monkeys, are created VERY quickly.  School shows adapted, staged, learned, prepared in 6 rehearsals.  For the public performances we have even less time: 3 hours on Sunday morning, then boom, the next night it's on its feet in front of an audience. This is liberating and terrifying.  The only way to succeed is just to succumb to the panic and live in it.  I

Someone else has to determine where this falls on the success-fail spectrum. Hi,  Well, you're shapely to be sure, but not necessarily voluptuos. Closer to svelte, I'd say. However, you are attractive in a way that might work for the the Movie Star. And I like you resume and so on.  I'll be back in touch soon.

Hi friends. I have a small struggle. It's not so big. It's sort of private. And it's probably pretty petty. I did my first gig with this theater company 8 years ago.  I've stuck around and always been part of their hijinx, because I love what they do.  They're my second favorite, after my actual theater company.  They have kept me around, and had me do stuff, or not, or then, well, I don't know
