Take-Two-finding the venue

Hi and Welcome to My Site,
I started a blog to track the process of me writing, producing and starring in a one-woman show. I've created several shows in Chicago and have a loyal following of folks who come out to see what I'm up to. The shows have been promoted via the Internet with emails and lots of word of mouth. I carry around tickets and when people ask me what I'm up to, I sell them tickets. It's been a lot of work, but a lot of rewards. Well I am looking for space in L.A. and was kind of discouraged at the cost of renting a theatre. I want to perform in a theatre because it's my experience that it's a much more suited for what I do. I'm a humorist more than a comedian, and a theatre is the way to go. I'm committed to do this show differently and get more help. I was excited when a woman was interested in working with me on the administrative and marketing aspects of the show, but she decided it wasn't quite in alignment with what she wants to do. So, okay, I'm committed to having a show and right now it will have to be after Christmas and New Years. BUT HERE'S the surprise. I went to a great documentary film about The Lieutenant Dan Band. My friend Marie Anne sings with Gary Sinise in his band that performs for the troops all over the world. The band is FANTASTIC by any standards and the following night I went to the CSI/NY party and met the director. I was with Marc Miller, another Chicagoan transplant who is a cinematographer and DP. Anyway, between the two of them they said they would introduce me to a guy who might want to promote me as a comedian/humorist because of the nature of what I do. So, I email Marc tonight for photos to post and for the name of his friend that I want to meet. This is out of my comfort zone because I'm sure I'll have to audition, and in the past, I simply hire myself. So, I'll keep you posted, and I will move forward with a show of my own because I have lots of new material and it's so much fun piecing it together. If anyone wants to participate with me and learn how it's done, please give me a call.
Thanks, it's going to be a great ride.
Cheers,
Maggie
