Two-fold entry today, here we go...

My audition this morning for Pirandello's "Naked" went unbelievably well. I got a "wow" out of the director. Not sure what that means. I actually saw this play years ago when I was in London and Juliette Binoche (English Patient) played the role I auditioned for. I remember after seeing it, how badly I wanted to do this play...in this part. Hopefully, I'll get my chance. It's amazing how different Equity auditions are from non-equity or even when their combined. For the first time at an audition, I felt like I was finally being taken seriously and it made all the difference...not having to be above all the bull and facades while trying to prepare. Anyway, so I called my agent and he was happy. Then and again, I guess any 80 year old man on pain killers would be happy if a 26 year old woman called him enthusiastically.

On a personal note, anybody who really knows me knows that I'm not one to keep anything inside...anymore. I'm very passionate about my craft, my family, my friends...all the people I love. In this Bohemian lifestyle (bear with me left brained people) I'm constantly transcending...myself. I'm everchanging...it's the nature of being an actor. Naturally, my life is full of drama and I'm used to that. However, as of late I feel like the "drama" (for lack of better words) is happening around me. All of the people in my life that I'm beyond close to seem to be going through this pivotal period causing them to feel immense pressure and in some cases extreme pain...and I can't help them.

Some affect me directly...others indirectly, but their all going through this right now. Some may argue this was always going on and this might be the first time I put aside my self-absorbed issues and open my eyes...I don't know. I feel exposed, empathy, distrust...pretty much Naked.
