Hey there, all! A week and a half ago, I was on set for short film "Geminus" as a psychologist helping a young man remember a traumatic moment. At the end of October, I'll be on (safe) set yet again for Live Source's "What Do I Owe You?" playing someone..not helping. Woo hoo!
I also will be returning as a soloist for the North Palm Beach Church of Christ Scientist next Wednesday. Honored to be asked back! 
But don't you worry, I am still very happily with MABC and, after taking the month of August off, our regular virtual services have returned! Heck I have to record my solo for this coming Sunday, like, after I finish typing here!
Yesterday, I had a fab coaching with James Beaman and closed out the day with The Playground Experiment's Volume 125 as part of the cast of Maura Kelly's short play, The Census, about her experiences as a Census taker. It was thoughtful and hilarious, and, as usual, it was fantastic night of new and emerging work. 
This morning, as it was for many NYC parents, was all about making sure my son could log on for virtual school orientation. He'll be going full remote for the time being, but I'll tell you, I gotta give props to his school for doing EVERYTHING they can to make it safe for the teachers and kids. This is a crazy time for school, so please, give your parent, teacher and school admin/staff friends some extra love, as well as all the kids. (Though my boy loved introducing his class to his "little kitten brothers" over Zoom. Something he would not have been able to do in real life :p)
All right, back to submissions, recording, and maybe even some more BOOKING! 
If you would like to retain the services of this Mixed Mezzo, just slide on over to the contact page.
Have a pumpkin spiced day, all!

Amidst the chaos of the world right now, art is still happening.
While my church gig took a break for the month of August. a college friend asked if I could be part of her service, and I was much obliged. Last Sunday was I happy to sing for the Church of Christ Scientist, North Palm Beach. This week, MABC is back up for their regular, and still virtual services, so you can check me out singing a duet with my fab friend and collaborator, Richard Binder. You can check out the service at www.mabcnyc.org.
Last Monday, it was all about the PGE. The Playground Experiment is such a wonderful group offering a safe place for playwrights and screenwriters to test out new material. I have very happily been part of the last three Volumes and one "FUNraiser" called Drop and Give Me Ten. The talent on both the writing and acting sides is extraordinary and worth catching. I highly recommend checking out their website and checking out their events. 
When not going through school reopening hoo ha and my son working on pandemihours (oh yeah, he's not sleeping either!), I managed to get in some self tapes and finally record some new material. 
This is 100th Anniversary of (White) women getting the right to vote and earlier this year, in the "before times", I auditioned for what was to be a new Shaina Taub musical about The Suffragists at The Public (Thank you Evelyn at The Talent Express). For said audition, I had to learn a song sung by Carrie Chapman Catt about her then feelings about Alice Paul. This show sadly did not get to open-#thanksCovid-but I certainly hope it has a life in the future, as, working from just the clips I had to learn for the audition, it's got some excellent music and I'd love to see THE REST OF IT. (Yeah, and be in it. Can't deny that.)
But check out "This Girl" right HERE. 
And from Suffragists to Psychologists, I am pleased to announce that I will be on a Covid-conscious set for the first time in FOREVER. Long story short, I've been more focused on live theatre and music of late, but thanks to the coronavid, I started checking out submissions for film and TV and got myself booked for a short film. It is called "Geminus" and is a thriller where I play psychologist Dr. Chester, helping a young man discover the truth behind his best friend's disappearance. We film this coming weekend and I hopefully will have some footage for you soon!
Lastly, I talk about three th-, okay, I talk about A LOT of things on social media, and I do not shy away from politics (blame my news junkie parents). SO, after a couple of out-of-state friends asked me if I was "okay" here in NYC because the far right would have their people believe that cities are on fire day in and day out, I wrote this post on the Book of Face. #NewYorkIsNotOnFire. 
It's time to come together, dispute the lies, and create some art. Oh and VOTE.
In the meantime, here are some adolescent kittens. 

Peace ✌🏽--Alex
