December 2008
3: Had another voiceover & ADR session for Prologue. That evening watched The Dark Knight at the dollar theatre with Daniel. Still awesome!
4: Long day. Crashed Utah Shakespearean Festival's auditions and finally seen after a long wait. Union members got to present contrasting monologues, but only one for non-Equity. I finished reading Scapino (zany!) before my next audition, an appointment this time, for Remy Bumppo. The notices said that one monologue should "show skill with language". The director appreciated my choice for that, said Plenty was a favorite play. And then back that night to complete the Back to the Future trilogy, with Sheila, Liz, Justin, Dan, the Sarah's & Jon.
6: I had car trouble, and was running behind all day. Auditioned for Crossroads Repertory Theatre, and had to tell them I was unavailable for dance or acting callbacks the next day. And then barely in time to be a blackjack dealer for a corporate charity event. Weird gig, pushy guests, really wanted to win the meaningless chips.
7: I had submitted my materials before crashing Illinois Shakespeare Festival's Equity auditions, and subsequently received an appointment for this non-Equity date. They taped this one.
11: Watched The Day the Earth Stood Still and ate cookies with Sarah, Daniel, Allesha, Justin, Dan & Jon. [I think this was the classic b/w version, not the recent remake. But eventually I saw both, so this could be either.]
15: Finished reading House of Blue Leaves. Bells on!
17: An audition for a nearby college's radio spot at a local ad agency.
18: I attended a screening for the Intermediate Film Production class, and the professor noted and thanked those of us who were in multiple shorts (4 for me).
19: I had a voice audition for a re-dubbing of a cartoon. They didn't say what it was, but from context it must have been Numberjacks, an English educational show. No appointments and the producer was late. That night watched my high school's production of Twelfth Night. My friend Tom Noe (text coach) stepped in for someone who couldn't perform (ill?).
20: Went to Justin's family's cabin on Crooked Lake, did some tobogganing, ate lots of food and watched Home Alone with the family, Jon, Ricky and others
21: Drove down to Indianapolis to work the strike/load-out for Actors Theatre of Indiana's A Year with Frog and Toad. They weren't paying much more than the expense, but I got them to throw in a comp for the show too. Kyra Jeanne Kenyon, who was in The Selfish Giant with me a few years back, played a Bird and Turtle and did an excellent job. The whole show was fun, and I met a few people during the strike that I had only known online previously.
November 2008
[Note that future posts will be titled simply as the month and year, and should have updates for that entire month.]
1: Took in a midnight performance at South Bend Civic Theatre of Dracula by Steven Dietz. Not as good as I hoped it might be -- the script struck me as overly narrative, especially near the climax.
2: Filmed a scene (6) for Prologue with Mark Weber. Screeching tires, fake blood and simulated violence attracted a lot of attention from the parking lot adjacent, so we dealt with cops. Cops. And more cops. Apparently even when they know what's the deal they still have to check out each call.
6: More scenes (3, 4) for Prologue, with Charlie Buhler and Mark Weber.
8: Shot a car chase and fight scene (58) for TOW, with Adam Newell, Emily Wood & Christopher Hunt.
13: Watched Back to the Future with Justin, Jon, Emily, both Sarahs, David, Allesha, maybe more?
15: In the morning, shot the final scene (7) of Prologue, with Charlie Buhler. That evening, watched Quantum of Solace with Sarah, Liz, Kyle, Ricky and Allesha. Since it starts briefly after Casino Royale, wished I had rewatched that recently. Nowhere near as good, but solid overall.
16: Finished shooting my scenes (28, 30, 32) in TOW with Adam Newell, Emily Wood, Christopher Hunt, Michelle Shea Walker, Marcy Shwegman and Marti Rams. A fight scene, drama, some intentional and some unplanned comedy. The bits I liked the best were the accidental straw bit (a close watch on the finished scene reveals each actor losing it a little there), and a non-verbal bit I asked to add (and had to remind to include, as I cleared the frame just before (to allow for a cut if needed)).
19: A photo shoot with Lucy Lavely to include in the credits of Through the Window (added per a suggestion from the class after an initial viewing), then caught Burn after Reading with Ricky.
20: In the morning, shot some of Nice to Meet You with Nicola Menchetti (this is a color version/further development of Thanks, I Owe You One). Then Back to the Future Part II for Jon's birthday that night, with also Justin, Ricky, Liz, Dan, Allesha, Sarah & Sheila.
21: Waited half the day to audition for Illinois Shakespeare Festival - glad they remembered me.
22: A voiceover & ADR session for Prologue, which I also utilized to do ten takes of a line for Quantum Leap: A Leap to Di for.
24: Shot the end of another student short, The Thrifty Gentleman, with Lauren Bergstrand.
25: In the morning, shot more of Nice To Meet You; then in the afternoon, The Thrifty Gentleman, scenes with Laura Mooreshay (although mostly alternating scenes with her, as we didn't share the screen much).
26: Watched Batman Begins at Mike's with Justin, as I was hoping to rewatch The Dark Knight soon at the dollar theatre.

Surprise! jaw's edge of a dangerous game, thanks for the picture-window title.
[These dates are from 2008 - sorry for the negligence!]
1 October: Auditioned for Cardinal Stage Company's Treasure Island & Santaland Diaries, which was mostly prepared readings from sides. They seemed to like my outlook on Snowball, and walked me through some imaginiative work on one of the two Jim Hawkins' sides. I guess they're going much older for the pirates, etc.
2 October: Auditioned for FTP Pictures' For Travis Preston, a short 'dramedy'. Cold read for a lead (Cory) and one other mystery role.
Then ushered and watched Pasquerila East Music Company's Edges, a song-cycle lightly-reminiscent of JRB.
4 October: Filmed a couple scenes (9b, 11) of TOW with fellow cast Adam Newell, Christopher Hunt and Michelle Shea Walker - I found out about 9b upon arrival; it was written the previous night. Brilliantly-sunny, apropros for the scene despite the actual temperature. A nice lunch afterwards.
5 October: Readthrough of Out the Window [later retitled Through the Window], and then they took some photos for use within the film.
7 October: Audition for an untitled feature, including cold reads both from the script (the lead, Tad) and a side from Jaws, reinterpreted per a different character description.
10 October: Filmed half of Window. Did I mention I'm starring with a SAG actress (on student hiatus), Lucy Lavely?
11 October: A meeting/readthrough for Prologue [for an ND Advanced Film Production class], then they had me record two takes of the v.o. which runs throughout the film.
That night, watched The Express again, with Kyle, Beka and Marcus. Marcus apparently missed the whole point of our going, at one point, excited and/or incredulous "What? Daniel's in this movie?!", before they all saw my moment of Hollywood fame. Kyle wondered how anyone could miss me 'mugging' up there . . .
14 October: Busy day. First, started filming a then-untitled b/w 'noir' [later: Thanks, I Owe You One] ; then, finished up on Window. Then a meeting about a stage production of The Passion of St. Marcellus for the feast day, and finally another about Prologue, checking out possible costumes and discussing scheduling and several alternate endings.
15-16 October: More filming, eventaully finished Thanks.
16 October: Watched Ironman with Jon, Justin, Dan and Kyle (I think).
20, 25, 27-29 October: Rehearsals for Marcellus, myself in the title role.
24 October: Another v.o. session for Prologue.
30 October: Two performance of Marcellus, one for a school and the public one - part of the anti-war events that day sponsored by The Center for Peace & Nonviolence of St. Joseph County.
Also filmed a scene (2) for Prologue, involving some interesting camera movement and as many extras (mostly other students from the class) as could be wrangled.

informal, heavy puppet express fu
8 September: After the previous late night filming, made my way (via Dayton and visiting my brother and his family) down to Charlotte for the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) fall professional auditions. As usual, the space is quite dry, so that coupled with being in the first group of the morning may have kept my audition from excelling. Still felt pretty good.
I had several callbacks. Jefferson Performing Arts Society asked for my headshot/resume. Then I had another with The National Theatre for Children, whom I have seen before at an UPTA and another time as well (maybe two UPTAs?). Pat remembered me right off and I jumped into some cold reads and a bit of improv. We interview a bit after that, and turns out we had added some more people in common acquaintance. Next was an informal callback with Harold Clurman Laboratory Theatre Company (new professional wing of Stella Adler Studio of Acting). They hadn't cemented their season yet, so just expressed interest in my talent as they could gauge from one short monologue! Johnny had worked with Bridgework a while ago, so we talked about that some, and he also encouraged me to look into their Studio also and forward along any questions.
9 September: On the way home (again with a rest in Dayton), stopped in Indianapolis for a reading of TOW with a portion of the cast/crew. Some heavy hitters among them, at least for Indiana.
10-11 September: A few final rehearsals of Complete Works - a lot of improvements had continued in my absence.
12-14, 16, 18-21 September: Run of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) to mostly enthusiastic crowds. Due to my duties (calls, running a few props, puppeting the Ghost), I couldn't see most of the show, but every night I could watch the Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet-interactive scenes, which were the highlights for me anyway, so that worked out well.
17 September: Got a chance to catch a sneak peek of The Express in Chicago, although they overbooked and I, even leaving right after work, was not near enough to the front of the line. I ended up explaining that I had traveled to be there, had worked on the film and would really appreciate getting in, and a few of the nice ladies from Davis Entertainment found a way to make it happen. They got me into an alternate screening with the Boys & Girls Clubs, which was an experience in itself. Dennis Quaid (flight-delayed) finally came in and gave a stump before they rolled.
The film was better than I had expected; the editing, which was not exactly to my general tastes, worked well for this story, although it did make it difficult to look for myself in the background. Finally saw myself near the climax of the film, laughed out loud at the characterization I had effected in that few seconds (and probably a bit from anticipated surprise as well).
27 September: Saw Kung Fu Panda with Kyle at the dollar theatre. Funnier than I had expected from the previews, which I think were misleading; still sachirine and a falsely-deep 'philosophical' bent.

ghost-private technician
Ongoing: More rehearsals for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), solidifying my involvement as Assistant Director, Stage Manager and Puppeteer (for the Ghost of Hamlet's Father).
27 August: Auditioned for The Swan Repertory Theatre Company's Private Lives. I got to the Equity office early and it was not busy, so I got to do my monologue and then had time to look over an Elyot scene (with Sibyl), and they had time to ask several question about my experience at Cincinnati Shakespeare as well as the locations of Riverside Theatre, The Old Creamery Theatre Company and Southeast Missouri State.
6 September: Filmed my scene (11) in Quantum Leap: A Leap to Di for, with a role as an IT Technician. The real focus of this scene was the impressive set, which had to be completed before filming began. This allowed for some downtime with the always-enjoyable cast and crew. We did a group photo that night as well.

close complete, leap pineapple, ribald fortune
10-11 August: Final performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Felt good, even as it was bittersweet, to see one of the new actors mouthing lines in the audience, to meet another replacer for one brief night before we left the house, to ride over with a new intern getting started on this show, at this theatre and on her path.
We then struck Barefoot in the Park. Odd closure to dismantle a set never-used, to stow our own equipment for additional performances.
I like a lot of the traditions this theatre has, too, for opening, closings and so on.
14, 18-22 August: Over a brew at the local pub, discussed some problems (health and otherwise) the Civic Theatre's production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) has been having, and agreed to join, for an indeterminate period, the ongoing rehearsals. So I have been holding book, taking stage managery-type notes and offering assistant directory-type suggestions and commentary. They have discussed the possibility of me serving as stage crew as well, although I have some conflicts during tech week (and have been auditioning for additional possible conflicts).
15 August: Traveled along with a friend for his scene (6) in Quantum Leap: A Leap to Di for and ended up helping out as a cord wrangler and general p.a. Great energy among the cast and crew!
16 August: Watched Pineapple Express with Kyle. Not knowing much of what to expect from the film, I was reassured by Kyle's assertion that he doesn't really see bad movies (although we had previously watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls). Turned out to be hilarious, unobtrusively-formulaic and slightly subversive, although having a few tone wrinkles. Some good performances by some actors I don't know or hadn't thought about much.
20 August: Auditioned for Lookingglass Theatre's 2008-2009 Season, which includes The Brothers Karamazov (an adaptation of one of my favorite books), Our Town and Arabian Nights. The producing artistic director then asked me some questions and had me redo my monologue, bearing more presently in mind the line that encapsulated my objective. Nice to be able to receive some feedback and take direction at an audition!
23 August: Auditioned for The Sapphire Theatre Company's Lysistrata, the premier production of a new theatre in Indianapolis. This involved, in addition to the monologue, telling a joke. So, of course, I told my favorite, the stupid pirate joke. It was also fun to hear some of the other auditionees jokes, a wide range of joke-style among only a few samples - and all bearing in mind, at least somewhat, the tone/subject matter/concept/bent of the play. I was only able to read an old, somewhat stilted (but in other places quite amusing) translation (Jack Lindsay) of this work by Aristophanes, while the production in question is from an adaptation by the theatre's founders.
I ran into some cohorts there, Nikki (a lead in A Leap to Di for) as well as Lynne (director of all four Bridgework shows), Matt and Emma (her husband and precocious daughter), and then had an amusing lunch with that last three.
Then auditioned for Tow (Grillbust Productions), a murder-mystery feature. This one was a cold read, with which I didn't think I did anything too spectacular, but the auditors appeared to be appreciative. Not sure I'd really like to play the character for which I read, but I will be considered for other roles based on the read.

A Midsummer Night's Dream!
9 August: Penultimate performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. We are so good! Despite the fact that we haven't needed it for some time, I am going to miss even running-lines-in-the-car-on-the-way-to-the-show with this cast.

dead vs. iguana
24 July: Forgot to mention, watched Shaun of the Dead with John, Liz and Sam. We were thinking about that previously but had decided on Starship Troopers first since most of had seen Shaun and not Troopers. Enjoyable, more so then the first time I saw it, I think because I was more removed from/less invested in the story, and this made the jokes funnier.
4 August: Watched the second season of Red Vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles. I don't think I had watched this in order, as when I first got into RvB they were not all as easily found. The O'Malley plotline makes a lot more sense now. Looking forward to what happens next.
6 August: Read Trust Amanda by Don Yost, one of several Bridgework scripts I picked up while helping clean and organize when they closed. I liked this one better then several of the ones with which we toured.

quick gulch blog dream-sequence
28 July: Auditioned, prepared reads both, for The Overwhelming (Next Theatre Company) and 10 Cent Night (Chicago Dramatists), both new plays. The first was with another actor, the second alone, but each without any direction - one take. Quick!
30 July: Watched a bunch of youtube with Dave Rader, including Season 1 of Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles. Still funny.
2 August: Watched Act Three Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, thanks to a tip from Aiea Sauer that these were still available online. Quite a different feel from the other Acts, enjoyable but distinct. I still like the first part, specifically the laundromat song, the best.
3 August: Performed our antepenultimate A Midsummer Night's Dream. First time we've had our standard mics in a while (after not having electricity, using the library's, not needing them (or perhaps there was some problem with the board temporarily)). The crowd energy was a little muted, but it proved to be another solid show.
4 August: Watched Before the Devil Knows You're Dead with John. Superb acting! Unrelenting film that took me to unexpected places; interesting out-of-sequence story (with a few moments repeated in different context) that provided some interesting discoveries and also a few unneeded confusions.
