It’s been a busy month! I filmed that leading role in the artsy short film, which was a really great experience and I think will be a beautiful finished product. I also booked that leading summer stock role that I blogged about last month having the final callback for; I leave for that next week. Then shortly after that I go off to have the starring role in another regional musical! There’s still the downside of some other big auditions and meeting not resulting in anything, but I am trying to focus on the positive – and it does feels really good to be on a little bit of a roll here!
Of course, another down side is that I will be missing a bunch of auditions while I’m gone, but hopefully something will happen to work out audition-wise while I’m back in NYC between shows, for a Fall show. And/or when I get back things should be picking up again for TV and Commercials, and then I could even stay in NYC and still be working (which is the eventual goal anyhow).
Health-wise, I’ve been good about getting to the gym and lifting 3-4x/week now, plus adding in a bit of cardio every time, and going to dance class at least once a week. Seeing results! The next couple of weeks out of town will be hard because there is no gym near the theatre, and no daily NYC walking around, but hopefully we will all be able to stay in shape walking around and hiking, swimming, and all that other outdoorsy stuff.
Relationship-wise, still dating, have some prospects, keeping things casual for now since I’m not going to be around the rest of the summer anyhow.
Budget memo: -$916. How did that happen?! Well, I did go on a crazy spree and bought tickets to see all the major Broadway shows just before the Tonys, because I wanted to see them before I left for the summer and knew it’d be harder to get after the Tonys – I’ve seen like 6 or 7 shows this month, and have tickets to some more in July when I’m back in between shows. It was worth it; I’ve been so inspired by some of the fine writing and acting and productions I’ve seen. I also have money coming in from some print gigs and such, plus the decent money I’ll be making from the 2 summer theatre gigs, so I’m not too stressed out about finances just yet.
