Theatre company logo drafts and a new play



I suppose I could use these interchangeably, I can't decide at the moment between the black and the white. I'm also drafting a new play that I think might be longer in form then I've attempted before. There's no title yet, I'm trying not to preemptively title things anymore so it doesn't inform how or what I write. But I can say that it's a touch autobiographical. More to come, stay tuned.

Valentine's at the theatre.

The Moscow Ballet brought their productions of Giselle and Romeo and Juliet to the VPAC this Valentines weekend, and I had the pleasure of running spot for them. I found it to be a very appropriate and cathartic way to spend Valentine's Day, both as a single man, and a theatre maker, as it were.

No dice.

Never heard back on that gum commercial, which filmed today while I was loading in for the Moscow Ballet at the VPAC. It's just as well though, I made money backstage today and it was my first callback after all. It would've been dumb luck to have booked it this time around. 2014 is off to a strong start, all in all. Tiny victories and all that.

Callback.

I had my first commercial callback today. It went really well and I got to read with a really cute girl. There's always a plus when giving up your entire day for a shot at a national commercial. And then there's that few thousand dollars you get paid for two days work. It was for a Swedish gum brand I probably shouldn't mention for fear of being blacklisted from commercials forever. If I get the part it's going to throw a huge wrench into my work schedule at the theatres, but hi diddly dee, an actor's life for me. Fingers crossed.
