A milestone!

Today i signed a W4 for an acting job. While i've been paid to act before, this is the first time I am officially declaring a portion of my yearly income as an actor.

I consider this one the first significant milestones of my career in Acting.  Often a lot of actors will consider themselves a professional once they get paid, but i find that criteria a little off target, because i've been paid to be an actor plenty of times, however it was usually a payment of maybe a hundred bucks or so; more of a 'Hey thanks for doing this, we can't pay you a real wage but here's some dough for transportation/drinking money."

Some background information, i'm spending the summer out in Massachusetts with the Plymouth Players, a Shakespeare company in residence at the Plymouth Plantation, a museum dedicated to educating people about the lives of the original Mayflower Colonists.

So i guess the next three months of blog entries (because i update sooooo regularly) will be focused on my experience out here in Plymouth/Cape Cod, and the joys of preparing two of Shakespeares plays in repertory.

More to come!
