Daily Bread
Today was harrowing. I woke, tried to do some casting for the staged reading we are doing at Tex in the City, tried not to freak out about the fact that we lost our space once again, did some last minute marketing and PR for "9th Street Water", printed out the 25 additional resumes needed by the producer, went to my newest client who is being audited by their funding entity, and desperately tried to get to the theatre on time (I was 2 minutes late.) At one point it seemed like I was literally doing three things at once and bemoaning my "outcast state".
But tonight it's all fallen to mist. Tonight, I got to walk up 7th Avenue, past the delis and Madison Square Garden, past the myriad of Starbucks closed for the evening. Tonight I got to walk home as a New York actress who just opened a show.
So today I will try to find a way to get some free booze since the new staged reading space is BYOB and TITC would like to provide the wine at least, figure out how to get the people who need to see 9th Street water to the show so that maybe one of us or all of us can get to the next step and also spend a copious amount of time at another client who is also being audited by their funding entity.
But tonight...tonight I'll be a New York actress again so it all seems...right.

Once again, Meredith, I am so proud of you for following your dream....keep plugging. It looks like good things are happening already. I so wish I could come up and see the show. Why don't you try to get it booked at the Alley? Then I can see it in Houston....send the Alley all the rave reviews you will be getting.

It all sounds right from what you say too. Congratulations on a wonderful evening.
