In NYC for 2008!

Hey there, my wonderful friends and family!

I know it's been a long time since I sent an update, because the first thing everyone asks that sees me is, "Where are you now?"

So here's the response: I'm back in NYC, and here I will stay for the foreseeable future!

As you all know, I've been running and running around all over the country for the last five years, so I'm taking some time to be with my fiance, Jack, and his daughter, Nicole for a while, which means staying in NYC!

I'm auditioning andsubmitting my play everywhere, so if you know of anyone who wants to direct, produce, or be in a Christmas show in 2008, please let me know!

Two VERY exciting things:

- After a great meeting with Michael Kirsten, I'm now freelancing with the amazing agents at Harden-Curtis Associates! This is incredibly exciting news, as the Harden-Curtis name alone opens many more doors than I've had access to previously; meaning, I have a REALLY GOOD agent now... look out world! :)

- My reading of Carol's Christmas in Los Angeles (November 12) was TERRIFIC! Though it was the night of the Ovation Awards (LA's equivalent of the Helen Hayes), we still had a full house, and lots of laughs.

Also in attendance was Sam Anderson (see pic at left), who plays Bernard (the dentist, married to the African-American woman, Rose) on LOST! He's a company member at the Road Theatre (where my play was read) so he even made the pre-show speech. The thrill of my young life. :)

My cast was incredible (Alexis Chamow, Eileen O'Connell, Joanna Parson, Seth Cooperman, Marc Ewing, and Meg Bartholomay), and the lovely and talented Che'Rae Adams directed. I'm so indebted to you guys!

My birthday (the 23rd) and Christmas were wonderful; filled with love, family, and friends. I hope your holiday season has been equally terrific, and I wish you all the best for a fabulous 2008! I can't wait!

Much love and hugs,

Marni
