O Canada

Well, I was forced to go back on tour. I told the producers that I could not afford to stay on tour because of the additional lay-offs they gave us. After saying my goodbyes, writing thank-you cards, completely convinced by the "we'll work it all out" conversation I had with the company, alas, they have no mercy, no sympathy, and will not let me out of my contract.

It's a long boring story, but the contract stinks, and the bottom line is, I need an agent to represent me and help me deal with all of this in the future. I also feel ready to pursue getting my Equity Card (the actors union), so that I will be more protected in the future by the union rules. I've put in a lot of dues in the non-equity world, and I feel ready to move on to bigger and better things.

So we have 4 performances this week, 2 in Canada (we're waiting for our bus in the Toronto Airport as we speak) and 2 in Toledo, OH. Then we're laid off again for 3 weeks until the New Year.

I'll post an updated schedule for the rest of the tour, as soon as I get it, closer to the New Year.

Please keep us in your prayers, as we try to make the best of this trying holiday season, we'll stay positive, thankful to be going home to spend time with friends and family.

Merry Christmas!
