So, this is turning out to be a fabulous latter half of the year – I’ve just booked another theatre show, which will be my fourth major regional role in a row since the summer! Between my last and current shows I literally had a one-day turnaround in NYC to repack; now I’ve just booked another principal role in a major regional theater that also starts the day after my current show ends! In fact, it actually starts rehearsals the weekend before, but they are letting me start a couple of days late to finish my current show. This next show runs through the new year, meaning, I’ll be working for a straight 6 months in principal roles at major Equity theatres! Hooray! The key has really been to have a good team of coaches to prepare for auditions and callbacks – I started scheduling quickie 30-min coachings before every appointment/callback that has sides, and it has literally changed my life!
Also, clearly that speaks well to my new manager. This next gig is just outside the city so hopefully I’ll be able to get in for some on-camera auditions; we’re looking ahead to more of that but for now we are on quite a roll!
In other news, I’ve got a new roommate in NYC but I have only been there overnight like once or twice since she moved in this summer; sounds like my subletters are not giving her too much trouble so that seems to be working out fine. My current subletter may be interested in staying longer and hopefully that works out with her staying through my next gig.
The gym is going well; am not cheating as much and have really started to notice some good muscle gain. Now of course it’s difficult to gain muscle and not gain fat, so I’ve really been trying to do the cardio on my program and count calories to try and work on getting abs. I think it’s working!
No love life to speak of here though, there is no one eligible in the current cast (not that I would anyway), nor in the neighboring towns. Alas. Well, it’s all a balance, right? Everything else is sure going swell!
Budget memo: +$450. Yay! I’m in the black again as I make a good amount on this contract, and ought to be able to put a little towards credit cards by the end; then my next contract is even better!!!
