Last evening, standing outside my front door, was thinking about how I was going to arrive at the theatre, my choice being the bus or the subway. As I moved to the corner, to walk to the subway, roaring down the street comes one of those black government cars, with sirens and flashing lights, and …

A Tiny city
Presently am in what is known as Upstate New York. [There is a proper definition, it means generally, heading north or west from the City and after about 2 hours you are ‘Upstate’]. It also means that folks live here who may have never been to the City and don’t care if they ever do …
If You Want the Best Audition-
Be booked out of town on something else. Without fail. When I was in Australia, two great opportunities presented themselves, but I was of course gone. I am actually out of the City on another project. Missed an audition for three day booking for AARP in Washington DC, National Campaign commercial and today, wouldn’t you …
We Didn’t Win
We, as an ensemble, had great shows last night; back to back, 6:30 & 9:00 pm. But we didn’t win the competition. We didn’t see the show of the playwright that did win, so we don’t know if it was deserved. It did seem that the quality of the shows was higher than it had …

Thank you to one of you readers, RG, indeed the two cars parked on the street were 32 Ford’s chopped. Still don’t know why they were there or where they were going… but it’s great to have the scoop. Thanks.
Outside My Window -part 3
These I recognize, and they are the most disconcerting. There were three of them, and the fire appeared to be in the 4th building unit of my building. Most of our units have fireplaces, but if the owner hasn’t remodeled the fireplace in your unit, then it is beyond unsafe. Every year a new tenant …
Outside My Window – part 2
This looks like a ‘panzer wagon’. Wonder if it was for the climate march?
Actors
are a crazy lot. When waiting around, as we were this past week to go on in our spot in the one act competition, the discussion began on what were the titles of the two people on the subway train who are either driving or are in the middle, pointing at the sign as noted …
