Check Please: An Evening of One-Acts

I'm currently in a show called Check Please. This production is the 10th annual series of One-Acts written, directed, produced, and performed by members of Theatre 68.

A little backstory - I've been a member of this theatre company for almost 5 years and it has been a source of inspiration, creativity, powerful friendships, and community since the day I joined. Due to new ownership, we are now being forced out of our Sunset Blvd. theatre space, as it is scheduled for bulldozing by the end of 2013. This isn't the end for us or anything dramatic like that; we'll find a  new space or even build a new one as forefathers Ronnie Marmo and Danny Cistone once did 11 years ago.   But this will be a huge goodbye to the walls  and stage that have made up a second home for many of us theatre rats. As appropriate to our moving, we've made the theme of goodbyes our central focus of this year's company One-Acts. Some will wave adieu to their past baggage, others to miserable jobs, while others still... to their virginity. Guess which one I am!!! Go on... guess. Ok I'll tell you. The last one. Lincoln Castellanos (pictured above) and I play 50's lovebirds wrapping up our prom night. 

Little known fact - I refashioned an American Vintage find into the perfect 50's prom dress. I'm pretty proud of it. Yup, I like to think of myself as a pro-costumer but I'm really just a pro-faker.  

Back to track - We opened last week to fantastic audiences and we hope to do the same for the run of the show. We have three more weekends - Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm until Feb. 9, 2013 at Theatre 68.
