Ah… to the Labor of the Love of Acting

And ain’t it grand!  I wrapped up a successful shoot with Kvibe Productions for an Acrilex Commercial and had the greatest experience playing a POP (Point of Purchase Designer) Client.  I worked with some amazing people too– Khoa Le, the director, Frank,  Elia, Rene, Janell (*an amazing make-up artist) and Alycea who knows her food!  (A big thank you for the teriyaki beef jerky!)  I can’t wait to see how the commercial turned out!  Until then, here are a couple of shots from the shoot:

A still straight from the director himself, Khoa Le.

Have a wonderful, relaxing AND rejuvenating Labor Day Weekend!  We all deserve it!

I Think I Saw A Ghost!

Talk about transformation!  I was recently cast as a principal in Celebrity Ghost Stories and got a makeover of a lifetime!  That’s for sure…

Being made up as a leper was so convincing, I was scaring the newly arriving cast and crew on set!  A huge thank you to Merrell Smith and David for making me so gruesome!  I LOVED IT!  Director Tim Smith and his crew were wonderful to work with.  Thank you!

That Gal’s A Character!

This month started out with a BANG! in the role of some great characters… one in which I play a detained Mexican lady who smuggles in illegals for the FBI and another the FBI won’t let me talk about ;).  No, really.  I am not at liberty to say.  This is all in good timing because whilst rehearsing as Ana in “Living Out” I’ve been able to utilize the Spanish accent.  More to come on video…

At Elmwood Playhouse, “Living Out” has just moved its rehearsal onto the main stage off-book and advertisement is newly in off the press.  You can buy tickets here or click on the picture:
