Oasis TheatreGroup.NY Rehearsals

Well now! Holidays are here, New York finally got some snow, and we have entered the holiday blackout period for rehearsals. *sigh* May the new year come quickly so we can get rolling again!

In the meantime, I am posting rehearsal pictures to calm the fidgety nature that arises from lack of creative outlet (in me, of course - maybe you're doing just fine...). Here goes:

The term for a male harem... Anyone? Anyone?


Yup, just one big happy family.

What? Why, no, I won't tell you what the plays are about. You'll just have to show up in January.

OK. Now that's done. Pictures posted, random thoughts processed. Hmmm.

I think will sit with a cup of tea and memorize lines. Or do some script edits. Or dance, just for the heck of it.

Happy days.

Happy holidays.

See you next year.

Upcoming performance and so much more!

Hello all,

First off, I will be performing this Thursday at the In the Flesh Erotic Reading Series with the amazing Mo Beasley and a great line-up of artists, authors and performers.

The show will be at the Happy Ending Lounge (hah!), at 302 Broome Street, Manhattan at 8PM.

And for more about what to expect at the show and to read about the performers, you can go here (I'm not on the bio list yet, being a late addition, but...).

Also coming up: The debut performances of the Oasis TheatreGroup NY! Yes, at long last, at the end of January, we will be performing a series of one-acts written by Matthew Ethan Davis. He's an amazing writer, and my roles are really, really, really cool. :D. OK, all the roles are cool, but I'm biased. Heh!

More info on that coming soon!

And then there is the top secret project I am working on but...shhhhh...unveiling after the new year.

Stay tuned.

Happy Holidays, people.

Aannnddd, another one. Heck, I'm on a roll!

The OFFICIAL subHysteria trailer!

Take a look, comment on it, rate it. We're making some waves - Spain, India, France...

Enjoy!

Ach! Procrastination... it is my middle name.

Because I can never seem to do these updates on a timely basis! What can I say, I've been a little busy. :)

OK, so, first up - a new romantic comedy I am working on called Celibate in Chelsea. It's a Hare Krishna love story.

Yes, really.

And it's also quite an education about a faith I knew close to nothing about (insert airport joke here). As in any religion, there are all kinds of people who follow Krishna, from stand-up comedians to landlords to rock musicians. Not that I had any solid opinions about Hare Krishna followers, didn't really think of them at all, really, but it was nice to get an inside view compared to the Hollywood movie stereotype most of us are fed. And I am happy to say I made some long-term friends on set.

Some pics from the trailer we shot a few months ago (REALLY procrastinating, ugh).


Ram (i.e., the very funny Yadu). Prasadam anyone?


We fight...


...a lot.


Me, frustrated, before...


...and after. I am pretty, oh, so pretty! Who wouldn't love to dress up like this?!?


Just because I like this one. It's my blog, I can do that.


Ah, the happy couple. :)

A Bit of What I've Been Up To...


So.

A few things in the works lately.

First:

subHysteria is finished!!! We had the cast and crew screening last Tuesday at Monkeytown in oh, so trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and it was a blast! A huggy kissy reunion of all us subHysterics, and the movie was great! I am my hardest critic and I am saying this movie is good! A relief, too, as there is a movie screen on every wall of the screening room at Monkeytown, so it's impossible to turn away from the parts you don't want to see. Heh...


Surrounded by 12 foot screens and my face on every one. Aaah!


Everything is getting fuzzy at this point...


4AM, and the manager is kind enough to take our picture before kicking us out.


You can also check out a clip from the behind the scenes documentary by going to subHysteria's facebook link


In more news, I recently finished the short film "Westside Girl", formerly titled "One Cold Night", influenced by the Irish Hell's Kitchen gang called the Westies. Check out the gallery for some images and a better idea of that. Coming soon to a film festival near you!


In the Miscellaneous gallery, you'll see a new image from the Adam and Eve shoot I did in Berlin oh, so long ago. Trippy. It's the only word to describe it. Very cool. Hopefully a couple more images to come soon, once Philip gets back from his latest exhibition in Paris. (Yes, my picture has been in art galleries in New York City, London, Paris and Berlin. That dang picture has done a lot more traveling than I have. And that's pretty darn cool.)


And last, but definitely not least, for the last few months, I have been working with the Oasis Theatre Company New York and loving, I mean LOVING, it. We are working on a number of original plays by playwright Matthew Davis to be produced in the fall. More on that later, just know it is going to be amazing.


That's enough for now. More to come (very) soon.

Everyone enjoy the holiday!!!

Been too busy to write!

Hi All,

I know it has been a while, but here are some basic updates (no details on the new stuff yet...keeps away the jinx factor). :)

Coming up this summer will be some new plays I will be participating in, written by an amazing playwright named Matthew Ethan Davis, with a great cast of actors.

I am currently finishing a short film loosely based on the old Hell's Kitchen gang known as the Westies (eight hour overnight outdoor shoots in the New York winter. Can I tell you how much fun that isn't?), and am also waiting to hear the final decision on a romantic comedy I am up for the lead on.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

More details later, as things get rolling.

See ya!
