The Shelly Stover Scoop

Friday, March 25th, 2005

Hah…yes this fact is true about the CNN commercial. However, my part
will never air. It was cut because I made Lou Dobbs look like a
foundation covered monster who is mentally retarded. It is amazing what
a waitress can bring out in a person. However, I did book a National
AOL commercial the week after the CNN commercial was shot and that has
been up and running. I think it is hard to tell that it’s me, but I’m
in a medium shot standing on some stairs. A week before the CNN shoot I
did an MTV promo for the Ashlee Simpson Show that has been running, but
my head is under a hair dryer and I think it is hard to tell it was me.
Good lucky times!
For those of you in New York you should come check out a show at the
UCB Theater. I’m doing various ones there throughout the month of
April. Find it all at www.ucbtheater.com. It is a place to find
hilarious theater under a grocery store.
Thanks for posting up on this stuff.

Rumor Has It…

Seems Shelly Stover has booked and shot a commercial, perhaps for CNN, playing a waitress. Shot at Vinyl, one of the best little hangouts in NYC for comfort food and cocktails. Katherine and Jane were there just last night, where they picked up this tidbit of information about Shelly from our waitress (who works at Ethical Culture, where Shelly has been covering her). Shelly, what’s the dish?!?!

It also seems that Titus Burgess, who came to J & K’s 44th Street Apartment parties several times, is starring in Good Vibrations on Broadway. Any information on that?

well I guess the quickest way to
get a taste of my life right now is to look at the page of photos I
made the other day for some friends and family (warning: as of this
posting it isn’t quite done yet, but I’ll let you guys see it anyways)

for the text version — after a year in LA working as the
development assistant to an independent film producer, I’m now in DC,
serving as the director of communications for a small non-profit
focused on policy commentary. don’t know how long I’ll be at that job,
though… LA calls me back (I left because I felt like I had to do
something about the damn administration, but now that it was voted back
in and I’ve viewed upclose just how ineffective 98% of non-profits are,
I’ve become more than a bit disillusioned), I’ve been accepted into
grad school here in DC for an MA in public communications, and then my
boyfriend has been accepted into london school of economics so a move
abroad is another possibility. who knows! life is fun. =) glad to hear
everyone is doing so well…

What We’re Up To

Thursday, March 10th, 2005

Okay, Friends, this is our blogging area. I will announce things that I know my friends are up to, you can comment and add your own stuff. Don’t really know what the heck I am doing yet, but life is an adventure, so let’s go!

What we’re up to:
Katherine Sanderlin is currently the director of an afterschool program at Ethical Culture Fieldston School. The hours are awesome (2-6), but other than that, she hasn’t really been using her free time to do theatre lately. This fall, she worked the Neighborhood Playhouse for Kids as the Singing Tiger in the musical of the same name, and Rudolf in Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer. She also developed a format for children’s musical theatre birthday parties, which she sold to a small company and now collects residuals. She is on the Board of Directors of a small theatre company called The 20% Theatre Company, and technically she is still a member of WOW Cafe Theatre, although she is currenly protesting them for not including specific wording regarding the inclusion of transgendered individuals. She spent the summer in Scotland working on Catherine Treischmann’s play Crooked at the Edinburgh Fringe; before that she was invovled in a fourteen month run of the serial Butch McCloud: Your Friendly Neighborhood Lesbian Superhero, in which she played the lead evil femme. It was big fun. Several summers ago, she directed and produced Treischmann’s Before the Fire at the New York Fringe Festival; anyone seeking information on that experience should definitely contact her.

Shelly Stover is working her ass off at Upright Citizen’s Brigade. She will have to post her own information regarding it, because it is hard to keep up with. In addition, she apparently booked an AOL commercial, because people have been seeing it all over the country. She went to Edinburgh this summer with Crooked as well; she received a nomination for the incredibly prestigious “best actress of the fringe award.” Prior to that, she played Juiet in the WOW Cafe production of Romeo and Juliet.

Vanessa Shealy never stops working, either. More information, Vanessa, more! She has been understudying at the Pearl Theatre Company, a well-respected classical theatre downtown, collecting Equity points. She is very close to being able to join. She has been substitute teaching and leading afterschool classes at Ethical Culture for extra cash, and just bought a new laptop ibook. You rarely see her without it. She also worked on Crooked in Edinburgh last summer.

There is much more, I am just out of time this morning. So post your accomplishments. It’s not bragging, it’s shining. And you deserve to do it!
