Here I was, moseying along, waiting for my show to open, and BAM.
It did, and the weekend has been nothing but amazing news!
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" opened to GREAT audiences, and we simply had a blast. I had some of my most treasured friends come out for the opening weekend! This morning, a rave review flies into my inbox from the local Ridgewood Patch.
"True Picasso and Einstein drive the plot and play, but barfly Gaston (J. Michael Polisano) and barmaid Germaine (Jen Ponton) vie for top billing."
Read the rest of the fablulosity HERE! The show was well-loved, well-received and very well-played (I am just crazy about the cast).
Good News #2: I receive a phone call from my manager today. He asks how my day is going. I say that it's great. He says he hopes he's about to make it better (!). Last month I auditioned for a SAG Low-budget feature, "Jack & Diane." I hadn't heard anything, so I assumed it was finished, y'know? Turns out, they wanted to book me for the role (a principal)!
OHMAZING.
OH. And it's not yet over. I'm about to geek out, here. So in my scene, it's basically me and a sort-of a frat boy, and my manager says, "It'll be you and Ben Foster." Hmm. That name sounds familiar. I sidle up to Google and confirm what I'd imagined--Ben Foster was Tucker in Disney's "Flash Forward" (which was an incredible show)!
I. LOVED. That show. So I'm super-excited to work with him, and I'm really hoping I don't swallow my tongue.
The end. XD
