People have been asking me what I've been up to - and I figure I will mention it here, only because people have actually asked. For example, it's been a busy week... or two... where I have been auditioning, filming and performing onstage, along with working at my new job here... with the filming on all projects finishes up for the year, this weekend (as long as there's no ADR necessary).

I must admit that even though there is a surfiet of work out there not much of it is paying (although some of my gigs have actually paid, which is always gratifying)... but the current lack of paying gigs out there well right now?, there's the rub. Well then, why waste the time... er... why do the work? It's because actors LOVE the work, Gods know that I do, I always have. Just getting more work to pay for my time is the next important step in my book.

I'd like to introduce Jason Glenwright, our lighting designer. Words don't really do justice to the creativity, passion, and genuine talent that Jason has brought to the lighting of Brontë. We are very blessed to have him.

Brontë  opened on Wednesday night to a full house. There was a great buzz in the audience after the show, and cast and crew were much relieved to be finally underway. The party went on way into the night...

With only one week left until opening, Hannah Levien, who plays Charlotte, talks about the challenge of playing this legendary woman...

Meet Catarina Hebbard: our Brontë  assistant director.

Cat won't tell you this - but she is one of the most amazing people you are ever likely to meet, and Brontë has been blessed for her being on board. She's a great cook too!

Name three Brontë novels...Jane Eyre....Wuthering Heights...yes? Something that Anne wrote? Anne, you say, who's Anne?

You know Anne, the youngest Brontë, author of two novels, passionate feminist, spinster, and generally nice girl. What novels?

Meet the wonderful Kitty Taube. Our set designer.
