WHAT MY *BIO* SHOULD REALLY SAY
I just got home from teaching a super improv class. There are certain classes that are magic and this is one of them. Then I had to send my bio into the theater for the new programs. Because I don’t have a huge list of credits in TV and Film my bio is usually sort of just a funny paragraph. Here’s what I wrote: Ariane Price is terrifically grateful to perform with and be a member of ...
"My Dad's in the Audience Tonight So..."
Oh Lord. So Mortified was great. But truly mortifying. My dad and in laws were in the audience. And as you know from reading my previous post, I talk about things you just don’t talk about with your parents.
My in laws, although the epitome of classy, had been desensitized to my crass-ness earlier in the week. They had attended an improv show I did where “Fisting” was a...
When George Clooney and I Were in Bed
George Clooney’s never been a favorite celeb crush of mine. Like many men people swoon over I GET his appeal but he just doesn’t do it for me. Not my type. Not my “fantasy date” choice by a longshot.
But there I was in bed with him… fully clothed mind you! We were in a gorgeous sunlight dappled hotel room in the South of France. The window looked out over the sea -...
"I Did, But He Died..." Hilarity Ensues!!
As I prepare for my MORTIFIED! Performance tomorrow (read previous post!) I am thinking about mortifying moments that happen to us as adults. Nothing seems to trump Jr. High geek-dom, getting your period on your white Esprit jean skirt, huge nosed brace faced scarecrow legged mortification. But then life goes on and you find yourself in a variety of mortifying “adult” moments to rival...
MORTIFIED
I am honored to be performing for my third time with a brilliant show called “MORTIFIED!” This Wednesday April 21st. What is MORTIFIED? “Ripped from the pages of real life, Mortified stars everyday adults sharing their most embarrassing and REAL childhood letters, lyrics, journals, home movies and artwork… in front of total strangers. Equal parts comedy, theater, &...
"Hi Zac Efron, My Son Loves Your Movies and I...
Once I had Roan, celebrating my own birthday with cake, candles and a party seemed a little silly. Embarrassing in a way. Like comeon lady you’re OLD. Parties are for kids. But two years ago I was given a psychic reading as a gift for my birthday. This psychic spent an hour on the phone with me from her home in Sedona, AZ. She said some eerily accurate things about my life. Then she said, ...
Burning the Candle at Both Ends = Sub-Par (Mildly...
Steve pointed out some glaring errors in my last post due to my lack of proofreading. Actually, I DID proofread my last posts, a few times over. That’s what’s scary. That’s sort of a testament to how tired I am. I am trying to make these posts finished written works, not just a daily diary. But tonight this is just a daily diary. I am so super tired. If I WAIT until I am...
PART THREE! (Jon Hamm) Actress-Interrupted /...
The final of 3 posts… After the show my friend says she had a friend in the audience and she doesn’t want to go out into the lobby, I don’t blame her. She’s very generous to her fans but its a mob scene. She asks If I’d go and find him, bring him back and we’ll all go out for a drink. My dad can come too because it’s his birthday. My dad’s sort of...
PART TWO! Actress-Interrupted / Mommy-Interrupted
Read the post before this so you are informed as to what is going on at the beginning of…. THIS!
Roan’s in the bath. I wash my face and rub my temples. What should I do with my hair? I’ve been growing out a hideous haircut for such a long time. This woman haphazardly chopped my hair to nonsensical bits with a smile on her face then charged me insane amounts of money for it. I...

Actress-Interrupted / Mommy-Interrupted
As I sit down to write Roan is saying; “But Mommy you promised to find my tools and play with me.” Which I did promise earlier today, but the day got away from me.
“When daddy gets home he will play with you and your tools.” I say. I feel guilty that I haven’t made him a sibling yet. And probably never will. And then I think of how weird that is that it’s...
