Updates from Lindsay

*marry me*

No, I don’t want you to marry me. It’s a short film. Writer and director Nathan Haugaard is flying in from LA tomorrow, with crew and most of the cast in tow to begin filming in my beautiful Seattle. I say “most” because I’m already here. Yes, that’s right. I’m finally doing a film project! There will be fun, and ferries, and flying fish. We are even filming in the 113 year old Carroll’s jewelery store before it shamefully gets gutted by the building’s owner. Stay tuned for more details. Me? I got work to do.

FILE magazine

This self portrait of mine has been added to the collection of FILE Magazine, a website that collects unique photos: “Alternate takes, unconventional observations, odd angles — the photographs in the collection reinterpret traditional genres.” How cool is that? My first photo publication! Check it out here: i am angelic.

*seascape* reviews

They’re in. There are three reviews for Seascape with Sharks and Dancer. Here’s a bit of the first:

Two Misfits Tell Stories That Reveal and Conceal

There is a scrappy, ragged appeal to this fringe production, executed with the kind of energy and raw talent that tends to outshine our city’s bigger, richer, more cautious theater companies.

Lindsay Erika Crain and Brandon Ryan give themselves completely to the rough-hewn give-and-take of Nigro’s dialogue, which is painfully attuned to the sticky games of revelation and concealment people can play with each other. Crain is fantastic as Tracy, the world-weary orphan with a forked tongue and a dark past. She plays the role just right, part nymph and part demon, avoiding the temptation to overdo the Girl, Interrupted act. As the play progresses, she just becomes stronger, depicting Tracy’s slow-burn disintegration with an edgy subtlety as immediate as it is haunting. Equally good is Ryan as the long-suffering, infinitely understanding Ben, the writer whose life is turned upside down and inside out by the appearance of this (to him) fascinatingly bent woman.

*seascape with sharks and dancer*

Here is the scoop on my next upcoming show! From Absurd Reality Theatre:

In Don Nigro’s tale about love and creation, the actors of ART take on a modern day love story for a generation Tracy, a 20 year old antagonist of her own life. She finds herself torn between her need for safety and her certainty that all human relationships eventually turn into nightmares. Ben is simplistic in his unfaltering acceptance of Tracy and the world around him. They’ve got all the words in the world, but can they find the right ones to communicate? Seascape is a story of people who promise according to their hopes and perform according to their fears. It questions whether any really functional relationship between a man and a woman is possible, and yet ensures us dysfunction is okay, even desirable.

progress, progress

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, full of auditions, and wouldn’t you know they’ve yielded results. I am now represented by abc model/talent/sport management and I have been cast in my first Seattle production. The play is ‘Seascape with Sharks and Dancer’ produced by Absurd Reality Theatre. It shows through much of April, but stay tuned for exact dates… this one’s gonna be fun…

At the time I write this they have not yet updated their website, but for future reference this is where you can visit ART.
