"March"ing On...

I tell you, no matter how much I venture out into other areas in the industry, the theater always brings me back to my roots, whether it be on or off the stage! An exciting new venture has me partnering with an established, wildly popular, theater group out of St. Louis, MO: JPEK CreativeWorks, LLC. JPEK will begin touring their urban musical stage production, REAL LIFE, throughout the US in late 2012.

This partnership finds Mighty Moore Entertainment assisting with the show set to go up in the Albuquerque, NM area in the Spring of 2013. Thanks to Joel P.E. King (who is compared to Tyler Perry and even the legendary, August Wilson) for this opportunity. ;)... Much of the casting will be done locally, so be on the look out for casting call notices New Mexicans! In addition, sponsorship information will be going out in the next few weeks for this production, as well as my annual Charity Event in December, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 12/15/12.

Please send an email to info@mightymoore.com if you’d like more information on how your business can help sponsor both or either event.

Speaking of my annual Charity Event, I recently accepted a position as Board Member for Asthma Allies. (The organization we partnered with last year.) As a result, I've decided to continue partnering with AA indefinitely for my parties each year. Many don’t know that I’ve suffered from asthma since birth, my husband was diagnosed as a teenager, and one of my daughters has asthma. So, they are a perfect fit for my philanthropist efforts in New Mexico!

What else have I been up to?

- Getting ready for my return to Los Angeles!
- Took my girls to their first professional photo shoot about a week ago. We had a few stumbling blocks, but everything worked itself out. I’ll be sure to post the pics we choose.
- This past Sunday, I was an invited special guest at the The Oscar Night® America Party at the Kimo Theatre in Albuquerque. It was an awesome party that the mayor and city of Albuquerque threw. Red carpet, food, drinks, and tons of swag. First rate! I’ll definitely go again next year if I’m in town. See pics below, a few of which were taken by photographer Cheo Tapia.

Coming up?

- GOATS Screening with Cast and Crew this weekend!
- Premiering a new Demo Reel next week!
- The BIG MOVE!…

- Upcoming Guest Appearance at Miss Expo - Long Beach in late April. Please come out and bring the tween in your life: http://missexpo.eventbrite.com/!

Fellow Actors...

...do you think you could have had an audition like this at just 11 years old? I can say with all honesty that I could not have!...:)...


By the way, in case you didn't know, Keisha Castle-Hughes had never acted before this, AND she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in this movie [Whale Rider].

So, speaking of the Oscars, the Runway Magazine Oscar Gifting Suites was the only thing I was able to do the other weekend. We got there too late on Friday (2/20) night, so we returned on Saturday (2/21) afternoon. I was really amazed at how much there is to learn about the "machine" that is Gifting Suites. The upside is that you can meet plenty of cool people, make great connections, take lots of photos, do some interviews, and hopefully get free "gifts". The down side is that if you're not recognizable, and you don't have someone on hand to introduce you to folks (i.e. your publicist), you really have to work your butt off to get any results.

That being said, I didn't get much by way of "gifts," but I think part of the reason behind that was because some people who did get stuff were being kind of, ahhh what's the word: GREEDY!...:)...(I over heard more than a few people talking about how they'd stocked up the day before.) Anywho, the one thing I did bring home was this really cool reusable dry cleaning garment bag called The Globo Bag. If you do a lot of dry cleaning, and want to do your share to help clean up our planet, get your own at http://www.agreenday.org/!

I'm still waiting for pics and interviews to be sent to me from this event, but in the meantime, here's a photo that was taken with my camera.

VO Audition - STATE FARM - 2/20/09
Fashion Show Audition - OTIS SCHOOL OF DESIGN - 2/20/09 (Taya-Morgan)

...aren't they beautiful? Every time I'm out and about they catch my eye in the skyline. It's been years since I've been skiing. I really wish I could have gone this season. Maybe next year. On a healthy note, this is week four of me hitting the gym 3 to 5 days a week. But get this, I've gained a few pounds! My husband says I'm building muscle. I sure hope he's right!...:)...

Last time you heard from me, I was gearing up for a very busy weekend. In case you were wondering, I was able to make all of the parties/events...:)...On Friday (2/6), I attended a small shindig in celebration of Pasadena. It had been quite a while. The next night (2/7), I attended Donna Wisdom's (event planner to the stars!...:)...) 40th Birthday Bash. (See photos.) Donna's event was really nice. It was held at a quaint little spot called Studio Eleven in L.A. She had a couple of masseuse's on hand, and I was VERY tempted to get a massage, but feared I'd get too sleepy!....:)...Later that night Kendra and I headed over to Neyo's Pre Grammy Midnight Brunch, which was being held at The Kress in Hollywood. After an hour and a half of looking for parking, we were promptly turned away by LAPD and LAFD, (because of overcrowding) once we reached the door! Aggghhh! They had shut down the red carpet and weren't letting anyone else in. From what I heard, they even turned Kathy Griffin away. Neyo himself was sitting out front in his pimped out car (of course...:)...), surrounded by paparrazzi and people with camera phones, graciously apologizing for the whole situation.

On Sunday (2/8) night, I headed over to Cabana Club in Hollywood for a Grammy Awards afterparty hosted by Wesley Jonathan. It was okay. I hate going by myself to events, especially when they are at nightclubs. I didn't get to meet Wesley Jonathan, (actually I didn't even see him) but I did get to walk the carpet. I also met a kid named Frankee Razor from this season of American Idol. That was an early night for sure.

This past weekend, I was invited to a couple of Valentine's Day Events, one was a Runway Magazine Fashion Show Event (back at the Cabana Club), and the other was a Charity Event with Brody Jenner over at The Highlands Hollywood. I just couldn't make them. I was too exhausted. Besides that, it was my anniversary weekend, so I think I just needed some down time at home with the family...

On deck for this weekend is the Oscars Gifting Suite, a Black Tie Gala, and a Comedy Show. Pics and details to follow. With award season in full swing, I feel like I'm out on the social scene too much these days. I need to be on a set somewhere!...:)...
