Showcase

The Actor's Showcase went up last night, everything went well enough, I suppose. My scene was good, I felt good about it... but, my only concern... where was the industry? We paid this lady, Camille, 100 bucks apiece for her to organize this thing and get industry there. As far as I know... I didn't see any industry. I suppose some came as the info packets were gone at the end of the night... most of them. But how many were taken by our friends and family? I don't know, overall, I'm pretty disappointed about the money that I spent. I'm not sure it was well spent at all. Ah well.

Last Chance

This is it! This weekend is your absolute last chance to see me as Tom Snout, The Tinker in the Haven production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Fri and Sat night at 8:30 (9/30, 10/1)
Sun night at 7:30 (10/2)

You absolutely want to call ahead for reservations, we have been selling out most obscenely!

Artwork Like Burning

Today, trudging along at the Islands, I couldn't work anymore, I had to go home early. I had been thinking about some adjustments I wanted to make on the clouds/horizons project, and I had some other ideas I wanted to try out for other projects. I got Betsy to move up, and by 2:30, I was on my way out the door.

I headed up to Michael's first where I bought yet another frame... came home, made the adjustments on the cloud project, made a whole new cloud project, and finished up the "OCD" piece. I'm really happy with all of the pieces right now... we'll see how I feel in six hours, but for now, I consider them done.

Now I just need to find the right way to affix the latin to the Boxes and they'll be done. Good times! Getting crap done. Being creative...

Love it.

Latin Update

Jeff did email me tonight with a latin translation that I believe is acceptable... pretty sure. Pin Boxes are one step closer to being done.

First Night Of Alice

Rehearsals started tonight for "Alice Works Wonderland", and I gotta say... love the script, love the music, the cast seems solid enough... I really think this show is going to be awesome. More info coming.

I'm playing Bill the Lizard and the Caterpillar, and I am fucking stoked!

Artwork Update

Last night I finished a project that I'd been working out for about a year involving various pictures of horizons and clouds... I'm pretty happy with the result. A friend of Matt's came by on Sunday, saw the prelims and commented on it in a positive fashion.

I also purchased 2 frames yesterday -- one to finally complete the "OCD" project and the other to start work on the dollar flag. The final cigarette box is still waiting to be mounted and expanded upon... I feel like I'm losing some inspiration with that piece.

And, supposedly, Jeff is going to come through with the latin translations I need for the Pin Boxes any day now... I also emailed Ray, but no word from him yet. Damn you, Latin!!!

USC Or Not USC

On the same day that my roommate realizes that he didn't get the CSI job he had hoped to get, I realize that I never received the phone call from Michael Swingler, the USC director. That's too bad, I really enjoyed that audition and would've loved to do that short, little, spicy film.

Ah well, the audition was sweet enough, I suppose.

Midsummer Extension

It's official, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the ZJU has been extended! The last weekend will be 9/30, 10/1, and maybe 10/2, depending on sales. Hooray!

USC Audition

I just came from an audition at USC involving vampires and prostitutes... actually, involving a vampiric prostitute. I found the audition to be incredibly challenging emotionally (it sounds more ridiculous than it actually is) and, ultimately, very satisfying craftually. The director seemed to like what I did, here's hoping I get this.

Of course, if I do get it, this means next weekend is going to read like this:

Fri night - Midsummers - 630-10pm
Fri night - Shooting "Dark Existence" - 1030pm-3/4am
Sat morn - Alice rehearsal - 10am-3pm
Sat night - Midsummers - 630-10pm
Sat night - Midsummers cast party (?) - 1030pm-??
Sun morn - Opening Islands - 11am-4pm
Sun night - Showcase rehearsal - ??

This is why I moved out here.

New News Page

As you can see, this an all new NEWS page for gregkaczynski.com. I got tired of updating the old flash news page the old fashioned way, and my friend Jenine did this with her info, so I figured... hey, good idea! So here you are.

This will be updated more frequently than the old news, will hopefully be seen more, and will keep you more up to date with what the Greg K is up to in southern California.
