It's All About Control!


I was recently asked to write an article for Broadway Blogspot, which is a resource website for those who work or aspire to work on and behind the Broadway stage. My article "It's All About Control" focuses on what we can and can't control in this business, and how to get the most out of what we can control. Check it out here!

Sex, Love and the Premature Evacuation completed it's run on August 28. Congratulations to the cast and crew on a job well done. To view production photos, click here.

Are you a fan?? My fan page "Get the Cami Secret Lady on SNL" (I know, WORST title for a fan page, but Facebook won't let me change it) now has a new fun daily feature. I post random and informative boobie facts. This feature is also available on Twitter: @allisonmosier
If any of you have an interesting fact to share, email it to me at aamosier@mac.com

My blog is going strong and I can't thank you all enough for taking the time to read it and leave comments. I just completed a 30 Day Yoga Challenge and blogged about that experience. Up next: I'm taking on the world of running, starting with a 5K! However, I still need activities for my 101 list, so if there's an activity you want to hear about, leave a suggestion here!

I've got some fun projects in the works for the fall that I am really excited to share with all of you (as soon as I'm allowed to!) In the meantime, hope you are enjoying the beginning of fall!

Namaste.

You can learn a lot in a two hour commute...

I am writing this update from the final dress rehearsal of OC Centric (Orange County's New Play Festival). I directed a piece for the festival titled Sex, Love and Premature Evacuation and we open tomorrow night. I couldn't be more proud of my cast, and it's been a truly wonderful experience. The not so wonderful part? The two hour commute from LA every day this week. However, I've caught up on my RISK! and Oprah podcasts, and I've "read" two books in the process. If you live or work in the Orange County area, I'd love for you to come see it.

I'm also really excited to announce that I have finally updated the media page of my website. It now includes separate Commercial and Theatrical reels, as well as clips from interviews and some theater excerpts. I've also updated my Directing page.

In an attempt to find balance, loose the tummy flab I seem to have acquired since moving here, and have arms like Jennifer Aniston, I decided to tackle #20 on the 101 list and start a 30 Day Yoga Challenge. I'm also blogging everyday about the process. I'm on Day 17 now, and going strong. Please take a minute to check out my blog and leave a comment. I would love your feedback and advice!

You Can Quote Me!


Every week when I sit down to write my blog I wonder if anyone is actually reading it, and if what I'm writing about is of any interest to anyone other than me. Well, my very talented and funny WTFU co-star Erin Cronican apparently finds it interesting because she quoted my blog in her latest article for Playbills vs. Paying Bills. I'm so flattered! Having said that, if there is a topic or activity you'd like me to blog about, let me know. I'm always up for suggestions!

Speaking of WTFU, we won again! This time we took home Best TV Pilot at the Hoboken International Film Festival! We are so excited! And speaking of Festivals, I recently attending the High Desert Shorts International Film Festival in Pahrump with WTFU creators Allison Lane and Chris Ritter. We had such a great time and met some really fantastic film makers!

Last month I shot a print ad for a super top secret communications company. The campaign was shot by my good friend Matt, and we had a blast running around LA. Matt and I met when we were cast in a production of The Matchmaker at Sierra Madre Playhouse. I was a young, impressionable girl of 13 and Matt was the much older and wiser cradle robber of 17. We used to make out in the parking lot during intermission. Scandalous! The shoot also involved a fellow actor accidentally pants-ing a group of missionaries. Most fun I've had on set in a long time!

I am happy to announce that I will be directing a short play that is part of the OC Centric New Play Festival in Orange County. The festival plays in August and as soon as I have more details I'll post them! Meanwhile, we are holding auditions on June 22 in Los Angeles, so non-union actors email me for info!

Old news is good news


Well it's old news now, but in mid January I packed my boxes, 17 of them to be exact, gave way too much money to UPS to ship them across the country, and moved to Los Angeles. I have had a torrid love affair with NYC for the past 11 years, but after five snow storms in two months, 16 feet of snow, and the third worst winter on record, I was done. Time to move on to bigger and warmer pastures. And bigger and warmer they are. Sweating and getting sun burnt in the middle of February is a welcome change. You might be void of culture, vapid, and aloof, but LA, I could get used to you.

I wouldn't be an actor in LA if I didn't have a blog. Jeffrey Above Sea Level (yes, that's the name of it), was launched back in February. I currently have a 101 in 1001 LA activity challenge, but I only have 56 activities and welcome any suggestions. Subscribe! Make suggestions! (If you subscribed back in February I've switched it to a TypePad account, so you'll have to resubscribe)

In WTFU news, we are playing the country! WTFU is an official selection in the Laugh Out Loud Short Film Festival. This is a traveling festival that screens in theaters across the country. Dates and locations will be announced soon. Also, on Memorial Day weekend, WTFU will be appearing in the High Desert Shorts International Film Festival in Pahrump, Nevada. I'm excited about this festival because it's in a town named Pahrump, and that's just fun to say. If you happen to be in the Vegas/High Desert area, come see us!

You know spring is in the air when I start getting phone calls from friends asking how my tomatoes grew so large. It means the Topsy Turvy Tomato Plant commercial is airing again. Which means I now have three commercials airing nationally. The Cami Secret is still going strong, thanks mostly to the parody from comedic genius Nick Stevens. So strong in fact, that I have been receiving fan mail. Yes, fan mail, mostly from men...asking for dates, but hell, that's more than most can say, and I am honestly grateful for all the exposure this silly commercial has brought me. Back in January my friend Todd Montgomery and I got together and created a video response to my legions of fans (all 9 of them.) You can view this masterpiece here:
