@VacationPlanner What do you mean by Free. Free drop off electronics or a free ticket for dropping off electronics? http://twurl.nl/xnai78 in reply to VacationPlanner #
Got a great compliment from acting coach Pat Hurley last night in class. A “1 in a million” can do that monologue. #
Of course I blew it off with a joke saying I was the 2 in a thousand. I shouldn’t cut up so much and accept compliments. #

there is nothing like Ohana getting you to follow him to the cat box and having him wait while you clean it out for him. funny. #
Cali has done that as well. “Follow me my minion and clean my box so I can poop” #
@wcdarling very funny. But yes I am not sure I want to have them go when I go in the same room. in reply to wcdarling #

5 days until the #Atlanta Unifieds. Slot is secure, pictures are in and one more evening with Pat Hurley to work on my monologues. #
I would be nice if by some miracle of money and time that I could go to Netherlands for Trance Energy 2009. One day. #
Pat Hurley just called. Monologues that Work may not have enough students to make. Its at the Tony Award winning Alliance Theatre in Atlanta #
It’s only taught twice a year, so if you are in #Atlanta and want to focus on monologues, take Pat’s class: http://is.gd/phye #
Of course if you don #
doh #
If you don’t want to take Pat’s Monologue class, maybe you just want to follow @alliancetheatre #

Auditioned for the Summer Reps

This past Saturday night was the audition for Summer Reps #1 and #2 with consideration for #3 and #4.

BJ Hughes and Pat Hurley are the directors for Reps 1 and Reps 2 respectively, so the audition was in front of both of them. After introductions, BJ asked if I had any monologues. Monologues were provided if you did not have one. Well, I have been working with Pat on a comedic and a dramatic for the Atlanta Unifieds.

BJ asked me to do the comedic monologue and so I do. And then Pat turns to BJ and says that I know MARTY. So I do that one as well. When I finish, Pat gave me a thumbs-up hidden so that only I can see it. Pat tells me on Sunday that not only was that the best he has seen me do those two monologues, but also that BJ said it was the best he has seen anyone do MARTY. Sweet.

Both were satisfied with the monologues and did not want to see a cold reading. BJ even said he was familiar with my work. I don’t remember BJ being at any of my plays. But he seemed very please.

As I am leaving I hear BJ tell Pat, “Great start to the evening”. It seems to have been one of my best auditions. There was very little in the way of lessons learned except that as I am waiting in the green room, I did not prepare for my monologues. Got lucky. Pat says my instincts are very good. I really should have been preparing in the green room with my monologues or even for a particular role if that is what I wanted to audition for.
