Change is on the air!

It may be early, but the first signs of fall have started to show: that earthy, musty smell in the air and just the slightest of chill in the breeze on some days.

I love fall. It gives me a renewed sense of energy and purpose. With the first signs of Fall '08, I'm happy to reveal the new look of Cindy Marie Martin.com: my own bright and cheery, fun-loving, vintage-inspired, magazine. On the site, you'll find tid-bits on all my exploits: voice-over, acting, marketing, and the film company as well as blog entries on what's new! I'm introducing a quarterly newsletter as well. Make sure to sign up on the home page of the website!

And so, what is new?

• I'll be reading the role of Kate in The Faithful for Journeyman Theatre Ensemble Saturday, August 30th at the Kennedy Center's Page to Stage festival.


• The INKwell will be participating in Page to Stage as well on Monday September 1st. As a member of INKwell, I'll be participating in this action packed event as well. The lineup:

* 2pm-4pm come see performances of twenty minute excerpts from up and coming playwrights

* 6pm-7:30pm the INKwell will hold one of their most interesting panel discussions to date. A few weeks ago, in the Washington Post, Nelson Presley wrote an article discussion the coddling of the American playwright these days INKwell has invited, and he accepted, Nelson Presley to discuss this topic with people the likes of Ari Roth and Callie Kimball.

* Finally from 8-10pm will be a full staged reading of a play called Time Upon by Greg BEUTHIN, directed by Jessi Burgess.

• I recently completed another voice-over for Vangent, playing the sister of a man being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.


• The United States Postal Service training video I acted in recently, won a bronze Telly Award and a Communicator's Award.


• For Fringe, I participated on the INKwell team in Extreme Exchange's Politically Fringe-alicious event, a series of short original plays created during the fringe (in one week) in response to their political survey results. There was a polar bear and Nuva-rings. It was spectacular! Anne McGraw wrote our play, Her Heart's Trail to Herland, and Jessi Burgess directed.

And, personally, I just celebrated my fifth wedding anniversary with my husband, Lonnie on August 8th. We traveled to Surrey, British Columbia back in July for a week and fell in love with the location, the people, and the weather. And got loads of beach time… It's been a good summer. Let the fall begin.

More to come. Flip through the site, take in a few "articles" and come back for the next issue!

Blessed Be,
Cindy
