  • Milestone.

    It is not often that you are aware of an actual milestone in your life as it happens. But today my career hit a milestone, one I’m sure I’ll remember for a very long time. Scott Thompson is doing my show. Scott Thompson, from Kids in the Hall, thinks my show is awesome. He’s coming…

  • pre-canned.

    Was I bragging yesterday when I said I had to take another job? It didn’t feel like bragging. Well, in any event, somewhere between the hour that I updated my journal and the time it took to drive to the other side of town, the job went away. They decided to tell me after I…

  • Huh.

    I don’t have much to say, but here’s a weird thing. I went to see Confessions of a Dangerous Mind last night, and my Tupperware Lady has a considerable role in the film. She plays the NBC tour guide who Barris sleeps with when he first starts working at NBC. And it’s so weird, because…

  • “How Do I Feel About This?”

    “How Do I Feel About This?”

    Okay, here’s a little game I call “How Do I Feel About That?” I tried it last night with my friend Jessica, and it seemed to go over well, so we’ll play it together today. It’s kind of a role-playing game, but I don’t have to call you “M’lord” or “M’lady.” Ready? Dig if you…

  • Put on a Happy Face

    I’m sure you’re sick of me talking about the show. But Backstage West reviewed us this week. That’s the review I was worried about, since she was there on that night with few people in the audience, where people afterwards were asking me to discuss where I came up with the idea for the show…

  • Press Two to Record

    Only moments ago… [scripty] PAMIE You have reached the reservation line for “Call Us Crazy: The Anne Heche Monologues,” located at the, performing at the, DAMN! press nine. press two. PAMIE You have reached the reservation line for “Call Us Crazy: The Anne Heche Monologues,” located at the Hudson Avenue Theater, that’s five blocks, wait.…

  • I Was Just About T–

    There’s no way to say this without coming across kinda princess-y and precious, but I was sending out my thank you cards from Christmas (yes, about a month late, thanks), and I noticed that one of the gifts purchased from my Amazon.com wish list never arrived. If you sent me The Donnas, I didn’t get…

  • Between Shows

    So last night, we sold out. That’s how it goes in theatre, I guess. I’m unused to how LA theatre works, but it appears that Megyn Price, our special guest of the night, has a good group of friends, the LA Times article helped, the Daily Bruin article helped, and the constant whining, bitching and…

  • Quietly.

    It’s 11:00 on a Friday night. I’m home alone. I’m wearing socks, shoes, jeans, a t-shirt, a heavy blue hoodie sweatshirt and a scarf. I’m still freezing. I’ve been sick for three days, and I just did my show. Despite the good review in today’s LA Times, we had a very small house. The smallest…

  • the beautiful ones.

    We were setting up the stage Friday afternoon, putting Glow-Tape along the edges of the platform. I was thinking about Glow-Tape, the glow-in-the-dark strips of tape that keep actors from falling on their faces in the dark, and how it was such a big part of my high school theatre experience. Glow-Tape reminds me of…
