Just a few pieces of theatrical news that don't fit anywhere else...

Cory needs a stage manager for "Fuddy Meers" at the Empty Space, which is just beginning rehearsals this week. If you're interested, either contact her on MySpace or call me and I'll give you her #. You can reach me at (661) 428-1005.

Julie wants me to start buzzing early about auditions for The Graduate which is going to be directed by none other than Mr. Hal Friedman at BCT in January. Auditions are coming in November...but let me tell you this play is hot and still very scandalous and relevant. You've seen the movie but the play is much much more. Let me give you an idea...Mrs. Robinson, full frontal nudity in the first 10 minutes. And it goes on from there. Excited? I am.

The Philadelphia Story, playing for the next two weekends at the Empty Space is excellent as it turns out...making August a killer month for local theatre. We've got three great shows playing right now that you would be foolish to miss. You probably know the other two are "History of Rock & Roll" at Spotlight and "Sam Sleuth" at the Gaslight. I'll have a fun and interesting "Philadelphia Story" podcast online in a few days, God willing. That is, if He will just keep the voices away for a few more days. JK.

The BCT Awards are coming up this weekend, I'll be posting a notice in a separate blog in a few minutes. I had intended on doing a podcast announcing the nominees kind of like the media announces the Oscars but I'm out of time! I'll do a post-show podcast, though, and that should be fun. Read the BCT Awards blog and I'll see you there???

I plan to "cover" all of the awards shows from now on so I'll be attending the next Empty Space awards as well. It's only fair. Are there any others I should know about? Anyone?

I'll be posting the second blog from Thespian Tsarina this week. She's really fun and I can't wait to read more about her "falling off the wagon" as she reveals in the newest blog. Did I just give it away? Damn, well you'll have to read about it anyway. Such fun.

That's it for now.
