I'm officially paid up for the Chekhov intensive. A friend asked me last night what I knew about the other people in the program, and the answer is "nothing." I don't know anything about the ages or experience levels of the people I'll be training with. What will they think of me, or vice versa? When I auditioned I told the Stella Adler folks about the Upstate Shakespeare Festival I've been involved with for eight years,and (although they were all incredibly friendly) I felt as though I might have been wearing a straw hat.
One of the directors in town recommended that while I'm in NYC is try to get in touch with Matthew Earnest of the Deep Ellum ensemble. He has directed several extremely striking shows at the Warehouse Theatre here in Greenville in the past few years, including a great production of Julius Caesar (his own adaptation) this past season. This coming year he's doing The Seagull, and since I'm not going to be in town for the Warehouse general audition it was suggested I attempt to get in contact with him and read or do a monologue while I'm up there. So, I'm going to attempt to make those plans this week.....
