So we begin previews for Art tonight! I’m excited to see how audiences respond to this one. It’s got a lot of humor, but it’s also a serious exploration into the disintegration of a friendship.
Unfortunately this slot in the season is always hard for theatres to sell – right after the new year, people are recovering from spending all their money on the holidays, and it’s 9 degrees out (-9 with wind chill!). So, tickets are selling slowly. I’m hoping they pick up. A) The 3 actors are working their tails off, and deserve to be seen, and B) We need to get some money in the bank!
Not much time to type this morning – but since we’re talking about theatre and acting, I had to share this clip that my friend Candace Platt pointed me toward: It looks like it’s been on YouTube for about 6 months, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it, and it is absolutely HILARIOUS!!
Tony Caselli 
I love that scene. If you haven’t watched it, Extras was one of the best shows on TV the past couple of years. It’s consistently hilarious and so insightful into how bizarre the world of actors is.
I’ve only seen snippets of it, but I’m going to have to rent/borrow the DVD’s, if they’re available, because it looks hilarious!
Woohoo go Tony and Williamston Theatre! I wanna see ART! I’m sure it will be a success:)
THANKS for the Sir Ian clip…NOW I can conquer the one-act I’m in! Move outta da way, Suzuki and Checkov! Sir Ian in da house!
Thanks Renee! Come on out and see it! You and Brian can usher again!
Yep, I bet that Sir Ian advice will take your performance to the next level!
Great clip!
And by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks Jesse! Hope you guys are well!

Yeah, I don’t care what anyone says, I think he’s an elf. I’ve tracked him through the woods, and he’s REALLY quiet and stuff.
