Rent A White Guy, a new multilingual musical fable about life for laowai (foreigners) living in China, will get its New York premiere at the Secret Theatre in Long Island City this September. Rent A White Guy chronicles firsthand fish-out-of-water experiences through scenes and songs in English and Chinese (with English supertitles) and will be presented by Fish Out of Water Productions, which features works from Americans living abroad. Written by Anna Grace Carter (Prom Night of the Living Dead) who spent nearly half a decade living and working in China, Rent A White Guy will run from 9/19-9/30 and will be directed by Elizabeth Murray.
Based on actual experiences of expats living in Beijing, Rent A White Guy is a full-length musical about Charlie (from Anytown, USA) who dreams of becoming a famous writer. But, when a magical fortune cookie leads him to get a job as an English teacher in China, he encounters a strange new world that he doesn't understand and that doesn't understand him. Unhappy with his new position as an English teacher (the "fast-food worker" job for foreigners in China) he meets an agent who offers him the opportunity to pose as a fake businessman and make a lot of cash. After taking the offer, his dreams of completing his novel begin to vanish as he gets sucked deeper into the world of corporate impersonation and fame. Song titles include “Rent A White Guy,” “The Lonely Laowai Ladies,” “Who is Hu?” and “I Love China (The White Guy Song).”

6AM起床，大概覺得怎麼可能au的上這種要跳舞的戲..
也就沒有這麼努力的5AM多到現場。

終於,我EMAIL給劇院希望可以有一個appt.
本來他們堅持說這些appt是要給equity演員,或者是有經紀人的演員.

而這audition卻讓我心情差了一個禮拜。

最早曾經有過一次agent meeting的經驗,非常之糟糕.
因為一個課上完,其中一個agent寫了email給我,結果沒想到一間公司有兩個經紀人.
