What do I have to do, beg?

I know that I do a lot of theatre.  I won't apologize for that.  I've worked very hard to fulfill my primary dream of being a (constantly) working actor.  I should have been more specific and asked to be a highly paid working actor.  But baby steps. 

And I know that I am always asking you, my four readers, and others to come to see my shows.  And I am so fortunate to have so many supportive friends who come to so many things.  And if I'm being honest, I probably don't see nearly as much (but I do see everything that I can).  But we have two more shows in this run, and we have like 80 available tickets out of like the 120 that we can seat on those two nights. 

And I'd really like people to see this. 

Here is why it is special:  This is Bill's full length directing debut.  We had a blast working together in crafting this thing, and I'm super proud of him for doing something this good for his first show.

Tara was terrified to do what is essentially a two-hander (although there are three of us, she has at least half the dialogue).  And she's crushing it. It's been such a delight to work with her on this.  I feel like we work really well together and have elevated the script to something really lovely and charming.

Greg is getting to step out of his casting and play a genuine badass, creepy fucker.  Greg is my guy!  I brought him into this family and I cast him in his first romantic lead because I knew he could do it, and I was so happy to see Bill cast him in this.  Because he's a real actor.  He can do anything.  And he is killing this.  My sister-in-law wondered if he really was such a scumbag in real life.  And that's good acting, because he's the best human you can know.

And me?  Well, people have been surprised that I can be charming, likeable, and funny.  Every time I hear these things it is both hurtful and flattering. 

So, there's my pitch. 

Oh, also if you want to come this Wednesday (4/4) I can give you $15 tickets.  Can't help you on Thursday. 

All this being said, I am so grateful for all my friends who have come to the show.  My heart is full.  I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people in my life. 

And I know that there are so many of you that come out to so many things...and I am not trying to make you feel guilty for not being able to make this. 

I'm just hoping that maybe some of you out there with an evening free in the next two nights will get this gentle nudge and come on out. 

You won't be disappointed.
