Tuesday on the Town

Greetings,

Wow! The run is half over already. I have been fighting off some savage New York cold virus (Jane was sounding a little like Leonard Cohen for a while) but I think I am finally making headway with medication, lozenges and spicy Indian and Japanese food. (Huzzah!)

I have also, of course, been checking out other festival shows. (I am up to 13 now!) And enjoying the sights and sounds and tastes of New York. (Is it me, or is there really a cupcake shop or a taco truck on every corner?)

As well, the delightful people at the Fourth Arts Block filmed a brief FAB Minute interview with me, check it out here: http://www.eastvillagearts.org/frigid-fab-minute-tali-brady/ (Thanks to Hannah at FAB for making this happen.)

Cheers,
Tali

New Amsterdam and New Acquaintances

Greetings,


I have made it to New York safe and sound and have been preparing for the show, doing last-minute printing, picking up a few things and I even found Jane a new frock, far lovelier than the last one – I shall be “unbearably fine!” (Many thanks to Hilda at Creative Costume Company for taking such good care of me.)

I have also had the pleasure of meeting some fellow artists and the FRIGID New York staff. Last night was the opening of the festival and I was delighted to see four shows.

Today is the tech rehearsal and I am looking forward to doing some work in the space and seeing the lighting set-up – it has been a while since I did a performance with an involved lighting plot – and I find Bruce`s design really helps to set the mood.

After that, we open on Friday!

Cheers,

Tali
