Give us all your money.

The IndieGoGo campaign for "Provocation" has raised over $1300 towards our $2000 goal, but we're not quite there yet!

Donations can be as little as $10

And while you've got your checkbook out, let me tell you about someone else who really needs your money.

My good friend Harmony Stempel is another struggling New York actress. In addition to the hustling bustling world of acting, she'd also spent the past few years working as an artist's model. And from her experiences she's collaborated on a show with playwright Andrea Kuchlewska. They're going to be bringing the show to Prague, to be performed in the Prague Fringe, directed by their good friend, Liam Billingham.

They can only go to Prague if they reach their fund-raising goal, so it's very important that people help if they can.

Visit their fund-raising site on Kickstarter.com to watch a video about the project. You can donate as little as a dollar to help them bring their show to Prague.

Think about how much you spend on fancy Starbucks coffee.

That reminds me, I want a latte.

If nothing else, I got a Clementine...


About a month ago I had an audition for a parody news show that I had to miss. I'd woken up that morning feeling really sick, but I was bummed that I missed it.

I sent them an email and told them to let me know if they were going to have any additional auditions, but I didn't think it was very likely.

Well, as it turns out, they did have a second round, and I had an audition for them this morning.

Went in with a pretty chill attitude, but when I sat down and actually started talking about the project with the two guys, I started to get a little nervous. It was starting to sound like a really exciting opportunity.

So I got nervous right before reading the script, and so I think my read was a little... amateur. It just felt a little Drama Class to me. But they had me read twice, and the second time was better. They gave me some good feedback, and I got an orange.

This comes on the heels of receiving a phone call last night informing me that I unfortunately did not make the second round of the National Anthem search, but oh well.

Rehearsals for the next No Tea show begin next Monday, and then I'm shooting a pilot in May. More info on that is forthcoming.

2011 Anthem Search at CitiField

A few days ago I received the most adorable message from my grandma.



So I figured what the heck.

I woke up at 5:30am, and I was so tired that I put the coffee beans in the part where the water's supposed to go. I only live about five minutes away from CitiField so I was there by 7. I was a little afraid that there weren't going to be a lot of people there. I just needed to be in the first one hundred, but if there were only ten people there, I was going to be PISSED that I woke up at 5:30.

There were a lot of people, but I thought it very likely that I was in the top one hundred, since there were a lot of parents there.

NY1 was there, which was extremely exciting.

And so I stood/sat outside of the stadium until 11am, when we slowly began to file in, ten at a time. I sang, I left, and on the way out they gave me two free tickets to a game in April.

I'll find out if I made the second round in the next week, but in the meantime, I was in the NY1 broadcast. I'm rifling through my purse 22 seconds in.

Trailer for Provocation

Yay! It's finally here! And it's gooooooood. After this long, it had better be good.

But seriously folks, it's up on a website called indiegogo, and we are raising money so that we can submit it to festivals. So if you can donate, you definitely should, but nonetheless, check out the awesome trailer!!!

I hope I'm not coming on too strong...

My Rock of Ages campaign marches on.

As it turns out, my very good friend Jen's cousin wrote the original musical, so I've made a video specifically targeted at him.

And last night, the director himself sent out a tweet confirming that they will be looking for unknown actors to play Drew and Sherrie.

Rock on.
