Ready! Set! ACT!

Had a really great (but long) day yesterday starting with a staged reading of I Married Wyatt Earp directed by Graciela Daniele. The was pretty simple with 11 women including Ann Crumb, Marla Schaffel, and Tovah Feldshuh. Can you say I was completely starstruck for one afternoon. The show was smart, well-written and thoroughly served by amazing music and lyrics. I can't imagine it won't move anywhere beyond the reading. The highlight for me was getting to meet and shaked hands with Ms. Daniele whom I absolutely love and would die to work with. I just think she is such a smart director who simply tells a story and doesn't rely on complexities and flash.

Went to film class again and just felt out of my element and hopelessly challenged. The process and practice of film acting is so completely different from stage acting, and I keep reminding myself that it is only the third time I am in front of a camera, but talking to Brette after the class totally put me at ease. I just need to release the self-criticism (ha ha, right) and just trust my instincts. I seem to be doing something right and she believes I could totally book jobs (from her mouth to God's ears). So Ima just shut up and focus and not think about it and just listen, listen, listen.
