It's been a busy time! I've been working with an organization called Mythic Bridge. We do outreach work with at-risk youth to teach them the power of storytelling. A group of professional filmmakers work with the kids and then bring in actors (like me) for the shoot. The kids/teens are hands on from the writing to the editing. Check out the organization! <a href="http://mythicbridge.org/" target="_blank">Mythic Bridge</a><br />

While their nine-year-old son is away for the night on his first sleep over, Adam and Jan have their first evening alone together since their son was born.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The show will run Friday, Feb 7, 2014 - Saturday, Feb 22, 2014 at The Gene Frankel Theatre. There will be 12 performances. </div>

For some time it has been a dream of mine to have my own theatre company, so this is a very proud moment.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmCdeiQp-3MS7bFX_8AonrM1gTFfu9d3xs54lcHXNLKtxqU_NhTe_Wehfa_6opkTXVMePSw3Iw8QY2xY5Q79wIQw8xTk2MUp0lnh26V3BVV9bilzSAjEiDL4wwGNS8Y3afo6epwGCP9iBm/s1600/LungTree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: start;"></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Mission Statement:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
LungTree
Productions was established in order to showcase talented actors and theatre
artists in high quality Off-Off Broadway Theater. The company serves as a launching pad for its
artists’ careers as well as delivering relevant, stimulating, and affordable
theater to its audiences. It is difficult for many New York actors to be seen
in plays where they can be proud of both the production quality and their own
artistic work. Every aspiring New York
actor has had casting directors and agents say something along the lines of,
“Let us know when you’re in something we can see, just make sure it’s good and
not wasting our time.” LungTree
Productions will not waste their time.
The company collaborates with some of the most respected people in the
theatre and film community in order to guarantee strong artistic work that will
engage general theater audiences, as well as perk the interests of industry
professionals. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6321497108665888257" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behind the name "LungTree"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A tree survives only with a strong root system and by absorbing the energy from the sun. Truthful performances from actors require this same delicate balance of being grounded while still taking in the energy around them. Our sun is the energy from the other actors on stage and our breath is what grounds us.</div>

This is a photo from the set of my latest project, "Action Girl." I'm playing a crime fighter in an independent short film, written and directed by Dave Tozin. We have been having a blast filming this movie and are close to completion. Only the major fight scene left to shoot! I have a few more rehearsals to really nail my jump kick and leg sweep, so hopefully all will go smoothly!Maggie Alexanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585923606694731465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321497108665888257.post-3526863902128451732010-05-14T14:55:00.000-04:002010-05-14T15:25:10.353-04:00"Motel" has arrived!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYKmqHJ-_THEMGmI3mzgAR6sJjs-0y4JpYVLTTu0HGb4uEyI2UHQtY8XaGT6F5I_6NC3tTGIbCLSvjUKZQ_lYoNTYI6GAUrfqU_eyl4vbxOOrybzjAgLkD-YwYxZaDYI216aYITX5QpRs0/s1600/MOTEL.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYKmqHJ-_THEMGmI3mzgAR6sJjs-0y4JpYVLTTu0HGb4uEyI2UHQtY8XaGT6F5I_6NC3tTGIbCLSvjUKZQ_lYoNTYI6GAUrfqU_eyl4vbxOOrybzjAgLkD-YwYxZaDYI216aYITX5QpRs0/s400/MOTEL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471202200261626370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Come see our show!

Actors and directors worked on their own, then brought the pieces into the workshop to present to the group. Rather than creating the feel of "too many chefs in the kitchen," it served as a way to gauge audience reaction - what works? What doesn't read? It also served as a way of sharing the success and failure of different directing exercises. Working on this show, I was reminded of how much I appreciate true collaboration. Michael Kingsbaker has successfully established a group of actors, writers, and directors who care about the craft of theatre. Thanks for the Shelter, Mike!Maggie Alexanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585923606694731465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321497108665888257.post-28842479931348007422010-03-19T14:12:00.000-04:002011-02-24T14:01:28.451-05:00Rehearsing "All my Sons"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGak88DYgx2HkOfogGhp_uBoIGTin79vJtU4jxzt1GZ-ee4R7chwfod370Bg9ws6bpFo6K-LcZ5zcR4-wp27Nch5bJf3VJlu4LCMPwYo7b-kig3_oBHun_aHPZKDkLjMegPGYrjraHTb0z/s1600/41324_452136866943_537026943_6195267_2060614_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGak88DYgx2HkOfogGhp_uBoIGTin79vJtU4jxzt1GZ-ee4R7chwfod370Bg9ws6bpFo6K-LcZ5zcR4-wp27Nch5bJf3VJlu4LCMPwYo7b-kig3_oBHun_aHPZKDkLjMegPGYrjraHTb0z/s320/41324_452136866943_537026943_6195267_2060614_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577333209004670034" /></a><br />"I don't know what I'm doing, where I'm going; I don't know how I feel about what's going on or the people around me; and I don't know how I'm going to get what I want!!!"<br /><br />"Isn't that exactly where she's supposed to be in this moment?"<br /><br />"Oh...right.

We meet once a week for 4 hours to workshop monologues, scenes, cold readings for auditions, new plays, and anything else we can think of. It's a place to feel safe and work on our craft. I am feeling particularly grateful for this safe haven and am thrilled by the work coming out of it! We are putting up a showcase in May. There will be 9 original pieces all taking place in a motel room.

I was cast in as "Izzy" in the Center Stage Playhouse production of <em>Rabbit Hole</em> shortly after moving to New York in October. I fell in love with this play last spring when I performed a scene from it for UC Santa Barbara's showcase in LA. I can't imagine having better material to really kick off my acting journery here in NY. Now it's back to auditioning.Maggie Alexanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585923606694731465noreply@blogger.com0
