News!

Hey Guys! So, I recently filmed a funny short movie called The Worst Date Monologues: A Love Story! The shoot was so much fun! Other than that, I have been really focused on school and all that boring stuff! I'll write when I have something to report!


XOXO,

Update!

Hey guys! Nothing too exciting to report. Just so you know, I won't be involved in Fat Camp but you should all go see it and support! I'm excited to go back to school on the 8th and you never know...I just may have some other exciting things on the horizon :)


XOXO,

Hey!

Hey guys! Firstly let me say...GO SEE DISTRICT 9!! It ROCKED! Also let me remind you that this Tuesday, Brandon Cutrell is hosting Broadway Sessions at Therapy! Try to hit it up-- he's hilarious! I fixed up my website a bit and I'm much happier with the layout now. I think it is more representative of who I am. I'm hoping to audition a bit this week so I will keep you posted as they happen! It kind of sucks that our job as actors is to audition. I know most of my friends HATE auditioning but LOVE performing--so it's clearly a catch 22. I also might be moving out of my apartment and moving into another apartment in my building with my best friend David. I will keep you posted on that as well! Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!

Hey guys!

Hey! So I thought I'd update you even though I don't have much to report. I went to the cosmetic dentist yesterday and had temporary veneers put on my top teeth. I get my finals done on September first, I'm psyched! I'm still waiting to hear on Fat Camp! I'm still hopeful! Fingers crossed you guys!! Also, just so you know at Tuesday's Broadway Sessions at Therapy, my dear friend Brandon Cutrell will be hosting while Ben Cameron is performing in Mexico! Stop by! It's at Therapy (52nd between 8th and 9th) at 11 pm. I'm starting to get back into auditioning so I will post as I go on them! Also, what do you guys think about all of this drama with Daryl Eisenberg? For those of you who don't know, she is a casting director who has been updating her twitter during casting sessions. I think that the whole thing has been blown up a little too far. Anyway, I hope you guys have an awesome ending to your week! Check out The After Party Friday nights at the Laurie Beechman Theatre!! By the way I'm OBSESSED with this song:

Updates!

Hey guys! So I had my callback for Fat Camp! It was really great! They are SOOO nice! I probably won't hear for a little while but this whole process has been so much fun and such a great learning experience. I'm currently out on Long Island (where my parents live) but I will be back in the city tomorrow! On Wednesday I have my first serious appointment with the cosmetic dentist. I have this problem where my teeth grind REALLY badly so I've decided to get veneers to stop the damage. I've had a few consultations but Wednesday is the first day that I'm actually having work done...wish me luck! I'm scared but it is definitely better then having jaw surgery!!! On Thursday I'm going to go to the call for HAIR (assuming I can sing with my new mouth!!!). Even if I don't get called back, it will be a really fun audition because I love singing pop/rock music. On Friday I will probably be back at the After Party! The After Party is a weekly Broadway piano bar/craziness at the Laurie Beechman Theatre! It's really fun! Unfortunately, I haven't gone the past two weeks because of callbacks and such! But now I'm back! Also, if you are over 21...Plese check out Broadway Sessions at Therapy! Ben Cameron is a delight and his show is HILARIOUS! You will love him! Anyway, that's really it for now. I will keep you posted on Fat Camp, my teeth, and anything else exciting that may occur!!


XOXO,

SICK!

Grr! I'm sick and I have a callback for Fat Camp on Saturday! I'm freaking out! I want this show really badly and I really don't want to ruin my chances by being sick! I'm drinking a lot of throat coat and relaxing..HOPEFULLY a miracle will happen and I will be able to sing!!! I've pretty much been youtubing all day since I can't do much else. One of my favorite songs is "Run Away With Me" by Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk. It's a beautiful song and the guy is singing to a girl named Sam!!! Anyway, I found this version of Aaron Tveit singing it and I melted...He's GORGEOUS!!! Enjoy...




XOXO,

I LOVE amazing talent!

Hey guys! So last night my best friend David and I went to go see Bobby Cronin record his cd live at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. He had an incredible cast of Broadway's finest that literally brought the house DOWN! Bobby is such a sweet guy and he definitely deserves all of the success he has been having. If you aren't aware of his work..PLEASE look him up!






XOXO,

Updates!!!

Hey guys! Summer seems to be flying by! I just wanted to write a brief post to update everyone on my life! I moved back Midtown and I'm loving it! My building is wonderful and everyone is so friendly. I actually just found out that one of the girls on my floor replaced Sutton Foster in Young Frankenstein (cool, right?) After all of the fun I had doing the two workshops of High School Musical 2 for Disney last year I couldn't wait to jump back into auditioning this year! I was luck enough to do a reading of a new show called Bathory and got to work with Mark Hartman (the musical director of Avenue Q). Bathory was a really cool experience and I LOVED the people that I worked with (everyone was INSANELY talented). Caitlin Kinnunen (Spring Awakening), Matt Leisy, and Alyssa Malgeri (Hairspray) were three of the leads and really made this rock! Less then a week after Bathory ended I booked a workshop of a new show called PUNK which played at the York Theatre. Punk was also an awesome experience, but in a completely different way than Bathory. Punk had a fun rock score and every rehearsal felt like a jam session. The process was so laid back which helped me grow very comfortable with everyone very quickly. Now that PUNK is over, I'm auditioning again and awaiting the first day of school (September 8th! SO soon!). I'm currently in callbacks for a NYMF show called Fat Camp. I don't know if you have heard of it but it's HILARIOUS. I got to do a dance call for it this past Saturday and the choreography is excellent! Regardless of if I book it or not, this is DEFINITELY one I will be seeing. I also recently started going to Broadway Sessions on Tuesday nights at Therapy (52nd btwn 8th and 9th). My dear friend Ben Cameron hosts this crazy Broadway variety show and it is absolutely fantastic!! I've also recently been introduced to the music of Katie Thompson and Bobby Cronin..their music is very different but both INCREDIBLE in their own way. Also..you NEED to hear Katie sing...her voice is UNREAL!!! Oh and as usual..I'm OBSESSED with True Blood! They just released an actual drink called Tru Blood..I NEED to try it! Anyway, hope all is well with everyone!!

XOXO,
Sami
