So I hadn’t been to the theatre in a while and when I heard Julia Roberts was going to be on Broadway, I figured why not go see her performance.  Well, to say I was dissapointed in the show is not saying enough.  Julia is good on screen but on stage she lacked a bit of stage presence although I did like the second act of the show.

Could it had been the two Corona’s I drank before going to see the show?  Well, honestly I don’t know but hey it was a Cinco de Mayo celebration weekend and I did have a lot on my mind that week, so maybe :/  But if there is any advice I can give, one is don’t spend the 100 bucks or more for the tickets to see this show, which is ending in June I believe and second, don’t go see the show if you had a long day, because once they turned out the lights and started the show it was an ongoing struggle to stay awake… lol

I do have to give the actors credit, there were a lot of scenes that were very dialogue heavy and all the actors did very well with just about every scene.  The second part of the show was probably my favorite, not because it was ending soon, but because it tied all the scenes from the first act together and gave a complete picture.  The actors also ended on a very strong note and it was very apparent they had warmed up to the audience and if there were any early butterflies still present, as just about every actor has initially, they were all gone. 

So all in all, “Three Days of Rain” was not the best of Broadway shows I’ve seen to date.

Recently (March 26th), I had an opportunity to perform for the first time Live!  I did my first Stage performance, well more of a Cafe but still live and in public view (because there was an audience).

This experience was one that I will never forget because it was exciting to go to rehearsals, which I quickly realized that doing theatre is more work than film, just because of all the preparation that is required.  All that aside, it was a whole lot of fun, I had an opportunity to work with a good bunch of actors (Diana, Caitlan, Mike, Ricardo) and was directed by Martin from La Micro Theater.  This also marked my first on stage/camera/modeling/etc., kiss. 

At first when you think about having to do a kiss scene the butterflys come into play because you aren’t used to kissing someone you hardly know, at least I’m not, but when you get into character and realize that the scene and the character calls for the kiss then it puts all of those thoughts behind you and you just move forward.  Not to mention, introducing yourself to the actress’ husband before you perform the scene helps improve your life span … lol

So all in all, great experience, a lot of work went into preparation but well worth it.  Hopefully I’ll get to do it again and invite more family and friends to attend to see me perform.  By the way, I will also be putting up some pics from the show when I get them…hopefully soon

Next stop, no idea…talent manager, casting directors, etc…call me!
