Get thee to the Village Gate!

I've often been accused of living in the past: to me it will always be Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the 9 train still exists. Along those lines, in my head, the Village Gate still exists! And now, thanks to Kevin Michael Murphy and Caleb Hoyer we can all experience it again...at least on Sunday nights between 10pm and 2am, that is!

So check it out - sing a song or just sit back and enjoy!

See you there!

I won!

Ah, the life of a performer - often glamorous but mostly really not. Thanks to the Galinsky brothers and the Manhattan Monologue Slam last Saturday night, however, THIS performer feels like a million bucks! Yes, that's right, I won!

Well, okay, a caveat's necessary here: I didn't win the whole thing, I won my division - the 30 second monologue division. But still! Winning Audience Favorite after having been picked from a large group of performers by five industry judges STILL feels pretty kick ass awesome!

So I'd like to thank the Academy, my agent, my...oh, no, wait...that's for farther down the road....

Let me rephrase that: I'd like to thank the judges, the Brothers Galinsky, Amy Ambrosino, my darling husband and, of course, SVETLANA!

It's good to be queen - of the 30 second monologue contestants, that is!

Below is rehearsal footage of my entry - live footage of event to follow soon!
