Soap, LA, & New apartment!

Hey there, my wonderful circle of friends and family!

I've had so many people asking me where MarniWatch has gone! You guys know me well enough to know that I rarely take breaks, so this has been a very welcome one. Now I'm kicking into high gear again! :) So here's the big news:

1. GUIDING LIGHT
I finally got a soap! I'm taping the role of a "Social Worker" on Guiding Light on Monday! I'll be in 2 scenes with 4 lines total. Yippee!! So set your VCRs... the air date for this episode is Friday, December 8. Wish me luck!

2. NEW APARTMENT!
November 1st, believe it or not, I'm moving... AGAIN! But this time (I hope) you can use ink in your address books. Jack, Nicole, and I are moving into an amazing new 2BR/2BA in White Plains; it has a gym, a pool, concierge service... it's the nicest place I've ever lived. There's also a shuttle to the MetroNorth, from which an express train takes only 30 minutes into Grand Central. (Faster than living in Upper Manhattan some days!) If you need my snail-mail address, email me and I'll send it along.

3. GOING TO LA FOR TWO WEEKS!
From November 4-18, I'm headed out to sunny California! I'll be in classes with agents and casting directors from Nov. 6-12, and the rest of the time is to get to know LA, see my friends, and hopefully make some contacts for pilot seasons down the road. If you have somebody you want me to meet out there, or a contact you think could help me (for film, television, or voiceover work), please pass it along via email; I could use all the help I can get!

So that keeps me busy until Thanksgiving, pretty much. :)

Also, watch your inboxes when I return for a reading of my new play (one I wrote!) sometime in the holiday season!

I want to hear how you guys are doing, too; and if you are in LA from November 4-18, let's hook up!

Hugs and love to all of you. I'm so lucky to have you in my lives!
XOXO,
Marni

RSVP for Pancakes

I forgot to mention...
If you're planning on joining us for the pancake breakfast social on the 21st,
please email me an RSVP so we know how many pancakes to make!
If you need vegan or gluten-free, let me know that, too. :)
If you want to bring kids, under 12 will be $10 each.
Info on the Pancake Social is repeated below.
Love you all!
XOXO,
Marni

Three things for my NY friends...

Hey there, all you amazing New York friends!

Wondering where MarniWatch has gotten to? I've been laying low for a while, taking a much-needed BREAK, because you all know how much I've been going, going, going... So, more things about my acting career to come soon, but in the meantime, my schedule's filling up, and I wanted to let you know a couple of ways we could get together at some point!!

1. PANCAKES, ANYONE?
On Saturday, October 21st, from 10:30am to 3pm, The Production Company (the Australian theatre company I've been working with: http://www.productioncompany.org/) is having a Pancake Social fundraiser! $25 gets you all the pancakes you can eat (there will be special ones for vegans and us wheat-free peeps, too), plus fruit, coffee, OJ (potentially some mimosas and/or wine), and some socialization with the company that's producing Stephen Belber's next play! Come on out and meet some people, donate to a wonderful up and coming theatre, and see me!

What: The Production Company's Pancake Social Fundraiser
Where: Judson Memorial Church, 239 Thompson St. in the Village
(between the South edge of Washington Square Park & 3rd Street)
When: Saturday, October 21st from 10:30am-3pm - come anytime in there...
Cost: $25 (To a good cause... we're trying to raise $15,000 this year, and this is the beginning)
How to get there: A, C, E, B, D, F, V to W. 4th
Go East on W. 3rd or W. 4th two blocks to Thompson
The entrance is between W. 3rd and Washington Square Park
You can also take the R to 8th Street, walk South to W. 4th,
then West a few blocks to Thompson.
I'm organizing this, so come out in droves and make me look good! ;)

2. I'M COACHING AGAIN!
My students are starting to keep me busy, and I'm loving it. Need to work on a monologue or two? Know someone who does? You know Shakespeare's my specialty, but any audition or performance material is fair game.
I can be reached at 917-653-6924 (cell),
or 212-802-8557 (service)
or via email at theladyhamlet@hotmail.com or classicalcoaching@hotmail.com.
Reasonable rates, midtown location at 55th & 7th. Call me and I'll help you out!

3. FYI: BELGIAN LINENS SAMPLE SALE
I've been helping out at Libeco-Lagae, a 150-year-old Belgian Linens company, and they're having a HUGE sample sale in their offices. (They do all the bedlinens for the royal family... the last Pope slept on their sheets. This is the real deal.) It'll go until the goods are gone, so stop by anytime M-F, 8:30-5:30. I've already bought a bunch of stuff. Cash only... Beautiful linen tablecloths for $30, napkins for $2.50, table runners for $10, bedlinens (mostly for twin) and tons of pillow shams and aprons and clothing... it's gorgeous stuff on the cheap! (Know anyone getting married soon? Birthdays? Stock up for Christmas...) :)
Libeco-Lagae (http://www.libecohomestores.com/)
230 Fifth Avenue (at 27th St.), Suite 1907
NY, NY 10001

I miss all of you! Let me know what you're up to; I'd love to come see your shows, or just your smiling faces.
Love to you all!
XOXO,
Marni
