The Post-Post New Years Post

First off, Happy New Year! Whether it was loud or quiet, I hope your celebrations were good ones. I was truly blessed with the number of you I bumped into this past month. There's no better gift than getting time with those you care about most.

Some interesting facts about the blog: it's been viewed almost 1800 times and it has been read in 10 countries (whoa is right!). So thank you for helping me make a grand splash for 2010. We'll be making a lot more waves this year!

Let's look at remainder of the month at all the happenings.

• Now, many of you have been expecting stories of the tour. Those will be coming shortly. I promise. I am sorely behind and intend to at least give you one good account.
• A few of you suggested I make a list and of all the places I've went to stuff my face during my travels...consider that one an on-going project (too many eateries for me to remember!).
• My actor thoughts and plans for Resolutions.
• And what I'm 'bout to say below...

Ok, now for the REALLY REALLY good news: I'm in another show! In New York City! And it's a brand new play called Unreachable Eden. (WOO-HOO, ticker tape!)

The show opens February 9^th and runs through the 26^th of the same month. Thursday through Saturday shows are at 8pm and Sunday's will be a 3pm matinee. You can already get tickets through the theater's website here.

This is based on the true story of a woman named Eve Adams, a Polish Immigrant who lived in Greenwich Village back in the 1920s. And through some great misfortune, found herself deported into Europe...right in the middle of the ensuing chaos that was soon to come. It's been really exciting since we have primary documents (their letters, transcripts of trial cases, etc.) and other research the author has collected on Ms. Adams, as well as some well-known authors that she happened to know—like Henry Miller and Anais Nin, for instance. A lot of work and love has, and continues to be, poured into this project. The whole cast and crew has been absolutely awesome and rehearsals are moving with haste. We're also extremely grateful to have Theater for a New City supporting us. If you don't know who they are, check them out: they've spent over 40 years devoted to the creation of new artistic endeavors.

Given the number of people already asking about this show, I've posted all the show information and more in a box near the top left part of my blog page titled “UPCOMING EVENTS”. For the facebook inclined, there's also a facebook event for the show you can get to through this link, with lots of cool graphics and stuff (sorry folks, still a bit on the low-techie end here). However, I have attached some very purdy digital postcards here...

so spread the word!
