TV Work!

Aloha, Rose ~~~

I'm currently rehearsing for an Off-Off-Broadway play (www.yashka.org), which opens in early November. I have a *very small* part, but it's really the funniest scene in the entire show. I'm also participating in a staged reading of a new, award-winning, unpublished play, and have the *largest* role. The reading is set for tomorrow afternoon, and we did a run-through tonight for the author. She was very pleased with my performance, and I'm very happy about that.

Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking part in a promotional shot (basically, a commercial) that's being filmed for Court TV. I'm only an extra (no spoken lines), but I should get some good on-camera time.

And then on Monday, I'll be taking part in a scene being filmed for a Comedy Central TV pilot. Again, no lines, but hopefully some good on-camera time. Plus, this will be a *paying gig* -- at union rates !!! Nice ..... (*grin*)

Finally, this coming week, I'll be mailing out headshots/résumés to 100+ theatrical and casting agents, with hopes that one (or more?) will be interested and want me to come in for an audition.

Sooooooo -- keep fingers crossed that something good will come of all this. And if not right now, then soon .....

Peace & Love --


Kaye

Update!

I just got home from the Comedy Central shoot -- the pilot is for comedian Greg Giraldo, and the show is (I believe) a series of observations and skits. That means that, even if it were picked up by the network, it probably wouldn't offer any long-term benefits to me.

HOWEVER -- out of the seven actors/actresses in the scene, I was the ONLY one to get more than a cursory close-up, and I probably got as much on-camera time as everyone else combined. Best of all, I got to meet and work with some people who work with Comedy Central, and I know I impressed them with my willingness to be silly and do whatever it takes to make the scene work. So, who knows? Maybe they'll remember me and ask me to come in for another project sometime .....
