Wow, one week after the experiment began and I’m already late on my weekly blog post, BUT, I did post (separate from my weekly post) a couple of days ago so technically I’m ahead of the game. Exciting things a brewing in Tahiti Land!

1) You’ll see on the podcast page our January/February podcast is finally up (yes, I know, it’s a bit late, but it is still February so I’m still technically on time with it.) When you get a chance, give it a listen. In this month’s podcast, I sit down with, actor, writer, dance, choreographer, and movement coach Dana Boll, to talk about her project, Bella’s Dream and the life of an NYC artist. Also, this coming Friday, I’ll be recording our March podcast, a conversation with Carrie Keskinen about Cat Lady Without a Cat and her long career as a professional NY actor. Carrie’s podcast will hopefully be posted by March 1.

2) One Act Factor – I just agreed to direct a One-Act called, The Day Job, in The Secret Theatre’s One-Act Festival, OneActFactor. We just started rehearsals yesterday and are looking forward to a fun (and competetive) 3 evenings of One-Acts (there are 3 different series – a total of 22 plays – over 3 performance nights. My play is a part of series B and runs in the first round on March 16th and March 24th). The performances for OneActFactor begin in Mid-March and, since it’s an ajudicated festival, we’re hoping to do well enough to make it to the semi-finals and possibly the finals! For details and tickets, check out: 

3) Cat Lady Without a Cat tickets are on sale now!!! Join us for Carrie Keskinen’s hilarious show about a “self-proclaimed cat lady cleaning house in every possible way.” Cat Lady… runs for 3 performances only at The Secret Theatre, March 9-10th. For tickets, go here.

4) GTTP has applied for the FringeNYC festival this August. For those of you unfamiliar with FringeNYC it is a month long festival in August where more than 200 plays are produced, for an average of five performances each, in 20 venues around Manhattan. Because of past scheduling issues we haven’t been able to apply in the past for this competitive and exciting fetsival, but finally, this year the timing worked out. It’s super competetive so I don’t kow if we’ll get in but as grandma always used to say, “you can’t win it if you’re not in it” (grandma was a big lottery fan) and you can’t be in it if you don’t even apply. So, dear readers, I’m calling out to all of you to put in a good word to the universe for us. We applied with a very strong project (which I don’t want to reveal here because I don’t want to jinx it) and I think we have a decent chance. Accepted productions will be notified in April/May so I’ll keep everyone posted.

See you at the theater!
