Now we begin…

Late Thursday night, I got the news that a theatre company will be nice enough to sponsor my site and podcast and allow me access to all the behind the scenes stuff that the audience doesn’t get the chance to see.  Woo to the Hoo!! The next thing I have to do is contact other theatres and get them to say yes, to my idea.

I am tinkering with site to see if there is something else that I can do to make it POP.
I am trying to make a simple 60 second promo for my podcast.  I am stuck.  I have the ideas, but the wording of it sounds strange to me.
I’ll figure out something, but I just want to get it done.  I already know who my first interview is going to be, I just have to set a time to do it.  In addition, I have the very first song I want to share with people.  (Even if they can’t buy it.  Yet.)

Also, I’d like to take a moment and ask for poetry submissions or a short essay about an experience that you have had watching a performance. The only requirement for the essay is that you write about a work that stayed with you. It could be a painting, a play, a song you heard, or a story, basically something that is creative.
This is an invite to you, yes, you.  I think it’s important that people see that the Arts leave an impression on others and not just me.
Send your submissions to jery@TheActorvist.com.  Yes, that is one “r”.  Long story.

Hello world!

My name is Jery, what’s yours?

There is a line somewhat similar to this in the musical “Gypsy.”  It sort of becomes a type of catch phrase, I think because all three major female characters say it a few times each throughout the course of the show.  “Hello, my name is June.  What’s yours?”  It’s a weird coincidence that the title of this post was already prefilled by WordPress.com because it’s my debut post.

One of the other things that is sung by Mama Rose is “I had a dream, a wonderful dream…”  I don’t want to go too much further into that because then you’d start asking who is the person that she is speaking to, and all sorts of other things.  It’s too much for an intro post.  I mention the dream, because I have been a long time advocate of theatre.  Especially local theatre.  I know that the theatre scene in the South Bay Area has been less than stellar, and I am hoping to finally be able to do something to help the Arts.  Not just the Theatre, but ALL of the Arts.  I am hoping that people will realize that the Arts are important, and not something that should only be enjoyed by the people who are able to afford it.  Although to be fair, my main focus is Theatre.

So join me, as I try to bring you what’s going on in our communities, and support the Dreamers, the Creative types, and as many other people as I can.  In addition, I will recount my exploits while working on the shows that I am involved in.

I am hoping to have a true launch date in the near future.  I will most definitely keep you posted.  Be sure to bookmark this site!!!

I am also on the Twitter as @theactorvista.
