LIVEworks is a smashing success!

With a quick three-day run, the lasting effects of LIVEworks are still being felt. But whhhhhhat IS this LIVEworks, you speak of, my pet? Well, we shall start at the beginning (a very good place to start)...

Acorn Pictures is a production company formed out of the 2007 Atlantic LA program, taught by David Mamet. The company consists of 13 of my near and dear friends, most of whom I trained with at NYU/Atlantic. This blossoming company is such a delight -- hard-working, talented, professional and go-getters. And I'm not just saying that. I'm lucky to be associated with them. They have been producing projects throughout the year, and Brian and I have always been eager to help them wherever they needed. So when it came to their second annual LIVEworks show -- the only LIVE production they do each year as a fundraiser -- they generously asked us to be a part of it. Of course, we jumped at the chance!

In doing so, we each got to work on amazing short plays that became part of an eclectic evening of work. The show was such a hit, and the audiences were incredible. And we got to work with this company yet again, so it was triple-y fantastic.

Have I gushed enough?

Okay, so coming off of that weekend high (literally...we huffed hairspray in the show -- well, we TRIED not to...) I threw myself into Waiting for Lefty for two straight days. Now I'm just trying to recover and find a way to pay for the $600 fuel pump our car needs. Oy...

But all is well in La La land -- fall crispness has finally hit a North Carolina girl who was craving it, so the bliss is all mine :)
