New York Theatre Debut!

Our show (from l to r, top to bottom): Steve (director), Brenan (Gabe), Lindsey (Claire), Mike (Rick), and me (Betsy)

So, on Friday I performed in a 10-minute show! I did it! I was cast in something. And I rehearsed for it. And performed in it. For an audience. In New York. Debut unlocked! YAY!

Also, it went well! The show was a shitshow. Most of the scripts were not good (too long, bad material for a one-act), but ours was! And people laughed! And they liked it! They even told Steve, our director, that of all eight of the pieces, ours was the best. I mean, WE knew that, but validation is always a good thing.

Plus, as we were getting ready to head out for a celebratory drink, one of the other show's directors grabbed me to get my contact info. Turns out he's usually a playwright/screenwriter and wanted to shoot me some of his scripts to see if I'd be interested in any of the roles. I, of course, gave him my info and have spent most of today's work day reading them. They're not necessarily the best things I've read, but, especially if it would give me more on-camera experience, I'm willing to consider them. Exposure!
