Blighty comes to Tinseltown

Last couple of days...
Looking for somewhere else to live. This place is not ideal, certainly with the Ice bitch from hell living next door...
Rentals in LA are wildly overpriced and really not that good. We continue searching...
Back to acting class. Woohoo. Three new faces and some of the old faces have moved (or are about to). Sort of back in the swing of it. Felt good to do an exercise. Everyone has a scene except me as I've been away for six weeks. Going to have to find someone to do one with! Watched a couple of students from another class do their 'first read' of a scene. Was OK. Caught up with the girl outside and asked where she was from (as she had a thick German accent). She said Berlin but was sort of upset that I'd detected it. I couldn't quite believe that she thought people wouldn't notice a German accent as thick as block of cheese.
Anyway... from there, headed to a movie meeting. The script has been started and is already at page four (or thereabouts). I've been moved into another role which is a supremely better one than I had (although there won't be as much opportunity to lose it, emotionally or physically). Read thru the pages and they sounded great!!

Had the first two rehearsals back at the G yesterday and everyone's back on form. New songs, new dialogue, all really funny.
BUT, the ticket allocations are a complete disaster. Basically what happened is that the Getty allowed each email address registering on their website to reserve upto 4 tickets each (for free). That meant that all of our three performances were 'sold out' in a hour or two. It also meant that most people (including me) couldn't get ANY at all. What is going to happen is that those people 'reserving' tickets are a) not going to show up or b) not going to use all of their allocation. You can see where this is going.... we're going to have half full houses and those people who really wanted to come are not even going to get a lookin. We also can't have standby as people wanting to see the show and willing to wait for returns can't get through the security gate as, yep, they don't have tickets. The whole things is daft.
