WELCOME TO JUDY STADT'S CASTING COUCH

HELLO DARLINGS!

WELL, the first show was wonderful! Film Director, STEPHEN MITCHELL came to the casting couch and gave me and my actor friends lots of terrific advice on how to REALLY get WORK in show business. He strongly suggested that you must find your own BRAND and market yourself with it.

HELLO DARLINGS!

     Well, I sent off my first letter to Wes Anderson, the first Director on my list. I'd so LOVE to work with him as his work is beautiful and I love beauty. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL would be my idea of working in heaven. 

     Designed and am having printed, cards with my brand. As Stephen Mitchell says: "This is not instead of all the other work you are doing, this is in addition." Along with my usual daily activities which include: Spanish lesson, Illustration, creating and writing another WIDOW for the book, choosing another tune for my one woman show HIDE & SEEK, creating a TV Producer's list to add to my contacts and send notes of introduction to, make an appointment for next week because "all work and no play makes Judy sad."

HELLO DARLINGS!

     Well, this is another attempt to create a blog, which I have heard is a very important tool in getting "known" by the world. Perhaps this time I'll be more successful and I can keep up with my thoughts (good luck on that one!) and share them with you.  I am in the midst of writing a one woman show entitled HIDE & SEEK. It is pretty much a memoir on how I navigated my lonely childhood which brought me to this place. 

     I used to resent being neglected, but now I realize how lucky I was to have been forced to become self sufficient and very well able to navigate my world in my own, unique way which has been first by HIDING in the characters of others. I always knew I'd be an actor because it was on the stage that I received the love I craved so desperately. More recently I've been SEEKING by writing stories, plays, poems always looking inward to find "ME". 

     Several years ago I created my first radio show ... first A Radio Chat with Judy Stadt, which was a live call in show. The reason I started it was because as I have always been a lover of Radio, the shows that I listened to made me CRAZY. I would walk around the house screaming ... not good. So I went to a local station and sold them on my ability to talk. They knew of my popularity as an actress locally so I had two hours every Saturday to play with. I did some local interviews and the call ins were not very satisfying (I'm really not into chit chat and nonsense). So, I created THE LUNCH AND JUDY SHOW, yes after The Punch And Judy Show. This show is heaven for me because I do everything myself ... the content is written by me, including songs & poetry, I sing with dead singers such as Sinatra, Clooney & Torme because I can edit myself in.

     All of my life trying to be heard. Of course, that seems obvious now (it took more than 70 fucking years to realize) that because nobody listened to me as a kid that I won't tolerate being ignored.   Anyway, more later darlings.
