Opened, Closed, Hired, and Quit

Hi, blog! Happy Monday.

UPDATES.

I made my Green Room 42 debut earlier this month, and we raised so much money for The Trevor Project—right now, we’ve raised $1,202.60, which is over our $1,000 goal! I am so grateful to have been a part of this incredible fundraiser among many talented queer artists.

I opened and closed His Name is Eve by Dominic Domenghini at The Tank this weekend! What a whirlwind! We danced, we sang, and we laughed. Not only did we sell out tickets, but we over-sold and had people sitting on the stairs! I was so overwhelmed by the amount of friends, fans, and customers from work who came to see the show. Thank you to everybody who came to support us in The Tank’s Limefest. Pictures coming soon!

WHAT’S NEXT?

I’m working as an actor for a class in directing contemporary theater, taught by my former teacher, John Gould Rubin. My director, my scene partners, and I have been working on a scene from Martin Crimp’s Attempts on Her Life, and we’re excited to share what we’ve been working on with the rest of the class. 

And I quit my job! (Well, one of them). I will no longer be a fast-food cashier. My side hustles are now limited to babysitting and social-media-managing, which offers a flexible schedule and hones in on my creativity.

I’m still working on my play, I’m still warming up every day, and I’m still auditioning. I had a really fun audition at Actor’s Equity last week. I’m alive, young, healthy, and in New York City. What is there to complain about? 

Ok, bye-bye, blog. Behave yourself.
