It’s been quite some time since I’ve updated my notes/ blog/ bulletins/ livejournal (not that I’m cross-posting this or anything), but here’s where ol’ Brycey-Boy stands in his artistic life—items are numbered for your browsing convenience:

1. This summer I will be performing in a professional production of “The Real Inspector Hound”—as a dead body. That’s right; you’ll be able to see me at any of the free performances in a park somewhere in Chelsea (I’ll let you know details at a later date) as I lie on the stage for the entire length of the show. Several of the performances will be presented in Spanish, but lucky for me, dead bodies don’t have to speak Spanish. This should be an interesting experience…but it’s professional, and I’m sure that I’ll get to meet and work with a lot of cool and talented people.
2. I’ve recently been cast in one of the house teams at Improv Asylum. I’m very excited about this. Starting April 23rd, I will be performing improv comedy at IA on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. for a six week run. Please, PLEASE come see this! Oh, by the way, I’ve been taking Improv classes at the Asylum for a while now and that is going great.
3. Just over a week ago, I co-wrote and acted in Dogtoon Media’s 2008 submission to the 48 Hour Film Festival entitled “Family Treasure.” It came out pretty good, considering we had to make a road movie in 48 hours and then cut it to hell in order to meet the seven-minute maximum requirement. Unfortunately, the film was turned in at three minutes past the deadline so we are out of contention. But if you’d like to check out “Family Treasure” you can find it on my myspace page and on youtube.
4. The other day I went to a brainstorming meeting for Improv Boston’s October production of “Gorefest VI!” For those of you who are unfamiliar, every year IB puts together a new musical featuring copious amounts of blood and guts. I performed in last year’s “Gorefest V: Blood on the Bayou” and had a blast. Anyway, as it turned out, everyone loved my ideas for an ocean adventure themed gorefest, so I am delighted to say that not only are my ideas being used, but I am helping to write the book for this year’s show!
5. Lastly, I want to mention that I am working on a stand-up comedy routine, and gradually gathering up the cahones (sp?) to perform it. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but was too afraid. I’m telling you all this now so that you will all hold me to my word so I don’t back down from this. I miiiight already have a gig booked, but that’s not until late June, and I’m hoping to get started before that.

So that’s my artistic life in a nut-shell right now. I strategically left out all of my ill-fated auditions of course. Please let me know if you have any interest in anything I just mentioned. I’ll be sending out detailed information on a lot of this stuff as it gets closer and…are you still reading this? My god, you must have had to quit your job. Sorry ’bout that!
