True Confessions of a Broadway Actor

What theatre's stage door is that? The Neil Simon's?

True Confessions of a Broadway Actor is a first for Broadway.com—a funny and insightful new column written by a real Broadway performer who prefers to be known simply as "Anonymous." Over the next couple of months, Anonymous will give you a peek into the life of a Broadway thespian and will offer insights on everything from the terrors of auditioning to the ins and outs of life on the Rialto. This is not a work of fiction. Yes, Anonymous is a real working Broadway performer that you most likely already know and love. And no, we're not telling you who it is!

Well, yeah, of course performers always post anonymously, but that's not exactly the same thing. This person is clearly a real writer--the piece is very funny. And the ABC's of Broadway thing is hilarious.

Cute
Now if we only knew who had an opening monologue in a Broadway show right now we could totally figure out who this was

"Stage Door: The actor's only way in or out of the theater. Actors caught using an unauthorized exit, even to avoid stalkers or electrical fire, may be crucified legally online. Equity is working on making this its second bylaw."

yeah, I don't know many women who shave their legs in a sink 30 minutes before show-time
Not that it doesn't happen, but still...

They did mention that specifics would be changed to keep anyone from guessing. So the opening monologue idea is probably false. However Christian Borle has one technically in Spamalot. Although for some funny odd reason my first thought when I started reading was: Barrett Foa. Don't know why, he just sprang to mind.

Aw thank you!
It's an ad for the charity "God's Love We Deliver" which sends food to people living with AIDS and cancer
They're having a race on Nov.20 to raise money, hence the "Get Racy slogan" (more info at www.barrettfoa.com )

I keep thinking it's pretty likely that they'd take a picture of a different stage door just to hide the person's identity.

Wow, this is a blast from the past! I often wonder about this column from time to time. Did we ever get a definitive answer?
