I Graduated and I Have the T-Shirt to Prove It!

Well it's official, I'm a graduate of the Second City Conservatory Program.
After 16 months of good times, bad times, crazy times, learning times, unlearning times, funny times, sunny times, sneaky times, psychotic times...oh I could go on forever, really.... basically I did it...wait I already told you that.

Well anyway vast amounts of candy, congratulatory cards and flowers can now be sent my way as last Monday we performed our final graduation show to a crowd of SNL and MadTV producers, directors and recruits...ah yes I am off to NYC tomorrow...ta-ta Dahlings.....yeah um let me rephrase that to the truth: last Monday we performed our final graduation show to a crowd of highschool kids, diehard improvisers, proud parents and actors friends..... I'm off to nowhere, well except maybe to IO or Annoyance.....

Okay yes you want to know, now what Jolene?
Well actually I've decided to give up on this performing thing, go back to the MN and get a real job! Yeah I know... Oh My God I'm SO Kidding!!!!!!!!!!

04 is SO Last Year

Heya.....

I have NOTHING to say except, I'm still here! There is NOTHING new with me, just gettin' by...waiting tables...freelance writing...even a little photography! Making mad cash in the matter of minutes of course! ;)

My show at Second City is performing every Monday until, GULP, the 24th!
TWO SHOWS LEFT!
Come and see me perform on the same stage as so many of the greats have perfomed on, such as Tina Fey, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Del Close, Bill Murray (btw, go see Life Aquatic,) Chris Farley, Amy Sedaris (If you haven't seen Strangers w/Candy yet, RENT IT!,) and on and on until someday some silly twit will write a similiar, just as boring blog, and add the name, Jolene Turner.

Shows start at 7:00 with three improv troupes and then two graduation shows, one is mine. A particular fav. scene of mine is the trials and tribulations of being a single cat-mom, dedicated to my dear Honey.

As for other performing news.... I'm still at the Improv Kitchen, until when who knows....this Friday were are doing a special Star Wars Improv Show for a group of Star Warries...yeah um do they have a name like Trekkies? Oh well, guess who's Princess Leia, oh hell yeah!!!!!!!! Good thing I didn't cut my hair! Hmmmm I wonder what handsome co-improviser will be Hans Solo?

Okay I am off for now, must get sellin' those Fish and Chips, as it is all you can eat fish and chips Wednesay..... interested in checking out my latest freelance article? Go to http://www.performink.com/Framesets/2frmBody.html
