GAGA coming to TORONTO!
She's showed us her "P-P-Poker Face," and now Lady Gaga's ready to share something a lot more intimate and avant-garde with her biggest fans: her real-life p-p-pregnancy! Acclaimed tribute artist Athena Reich stars as an expecting Lady Gaga in #ARTBIRTH, a hilarious evening of art, pop and comedy that combines vaudevillian comedy with ARTPOPoutrageousness. The show features a very preggers Lady Gaga who's decided to give birth in front of her most devoted fans as "the ultimate performance art piece." Star Athena Reich is an award-winning comic actress who's received acclaim from Lady Gaga's "Little Monsters" -- and even Gaga herself. Come see Gaga's baby being "Born This Way" in this show full of dancing, singing and afterbirth.

My moment with Sandra Oh
I'm not someone who goes 'gaga' for celebrities. Having been in this business since I was a kid, I know how how crucial luck and timing are to a career. Having said that, it is always fascinating to work with someone who has tons of experience. When it came time for our 'moment', Sandra arrived and said, "Athena! I always wished my name was Athena!".
I had to make our little crowd laugh in the moment before our scene, so I told stories about my baby having colic while I was alone in New York as a single mom. "Oh my god!" she said afterwards, "I thought you made that up!". Charming and empathetic, Sandra won me over immediately.
However, it's not just charm. It's also smart to quickly connect with your scene partner right before you shoot. That's just good acting.
Counter to that, I was recently at an audition where a fellow actor was listing off his accomplishments, and quizzing me for mine, in a passive aggressive manner.
It's such a clear example of how there is no need to be mean or demeaning in order to succeed. Friendliness, humor, and an open heart can get you even further.
Very proud that my birth story has been published on The Mindful Cesarean
Very proud that my story is published on this amazing website and upcoming e-book. Enjoy! Click here to read.
VEGAS BABY! (THE FILM)
Vegas Baby
Vegas Baby (formerly titled “haveababy”) has had an amazing run on the festival circuit and gained a ton of important press. It has a new trailer and is coming to a theater near you! Upcoming screenings include NYC (March 28), Cleveland, Las Vegas, Bay Area, LA — the list goes on, and they are adding cities every day!
If you don’t see your city listed here It’s easy to bring the film to a local movie theater or other venue in your town. If you are in the US, find out more at http://bit.ly/VBtugg. If you are in Canada, email amy@vegasbabyfilm.com
If you are a small community group, don't be intimidated! Please reach out as they are open to all types of screenings, big and small.
The mission of this grassroots screening campaign -- with the help of Executive Producer Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me, CNN’s Inside Man) and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association -- is to raise awareness about infertility by starting a national conversation around this often misunderstood issue through the powerful medium of film (with a dose of good humor injected by yours truly).
