It's Stefanie and geeeeezzzz... it has been awhile since I've updated mostly because I've been so busy!
When I last left you I was working on Pride & Prejudice I think... so let's see. That obviously closed it's NYMF run but I think it has a very bright future ahead. In fact, the production won the most awards in the whole festival including "Most Promising!" I absolutely miss it. The people were great, the show was great, and it was just a wonderful atmosphere 100% of the time. I would probably even go so far to say it is the best theatre experience I have had to date!
After that I headed back to the homeland for a week... and it was really great! It was just what I needed. A little escape from the city, but also just a reminder of how much I love New York. I was definitely ready to come back. I really missed my family so seeing them was so heart-warming. (sentimental moment there...)
ANYWAYS! The breaking news... which I guess isn't breaking anymore... is that I signed my first Equity contract and am now officially a card-carrying member! The show I signed with is "Give A Man A Mask" down at the York. (which is where I interned when I first moved out here) And it has been an interesting experience so far.... it's only 2 and a half weeks of rehearsal and I think everyone is feeling very rushed and overwhelmed as we open a week from Thursday! Here's a link to the article about the show for those interested: Give A Man A Mask- York Theatre Company
Still trying to figure out what I'm doing next... have a few balls up in the air so we will see!
ALSO let me just say going out on Halloween night with Karli/ Black Swan in NYC... was OUT OF CONTROL. So many people, so many weird costumes, so many drunk creepy guys.... but so much fun!!!!
Lys is sitting next to me being beautiful as always. She just got back from a trip to good ol' Oxford. She had tons of fun of course but is super excited to be back in my arms. :) She wants me to leave a plug about her new blog that you all should check out! http://theholdingroom.blogspot
I feel like there's more but I can't remember any of it right now. So I'm outta here... gots things to do.
Love you all,
Stefanie
