Carving Pumpkins Meets Spa Day
Roan wanted a “Jack” from Nightmare Before Christmas pumpkin so last night I set about carving one for him. I looked up the photo and settled on this:
Knowing full well my finished product would be a sorry attempt— considering I’m not a super skilled pumpkin carver. But I AM enthusiastic so I began carving away. Roan was skipping around very excited and the whole feeling...
Shows I'm Doing This Friday
My website (www.arianeprice.com) is still under construction. So I wanted to give a little heads up here about when I’m performing these days.
Friday Night I’ll be at the Groundlings in 3 different shows back to back. The Fall Show, “Groundlings Science Fair” (Every Friday @8, Saturdays @8 & 10) Sketch & Improv
Here are some goofy pix from that show:

This is Halloween
I’m sitting here watching my husband and son carve Halloween pumpkins. This year Roan wants a “Nightmare Before Christmas” style Jack-o-Lantern as opposed to the Les Miserables / Star Wars obsession he’s been harboring for the past few years. Oh Lord, how weird it is it to remember that when he was 2 and 3 he was “really into” the musicals, “Mama...

"If Men Can't Have Babies Then What's In His...
The other day Roan and I were at a swimming pool trying to cool ourselves off in this ridiculous 100 degree October weather. Roan noticed a very large man floating in the water gracefully, moving his hands back and forth, enjoying the refreshing coolness.
“Mama if men can’t have babies in their tummies what is in that man’s tummy?”
Oh Lord…
“Ummmmm, well,...
Worst Audition Ever
Tonight I performed in a show called “Worst Audition Ever.” Actors shared hilarious stories about their… worst auditions ever. There were some great performers. I found myself quite nervous, don’t know why, so it wasn’t my best performance.
We were all asked to bring a bad / crazy or our first headshots which they would show. I thought, given the story (which is...
BREAKING & Escaping Toes
When I was a kid I vividly remember saying to my friends at recess, “let’s laugh.” Kindergarten-Highschool. In Elementary school there was this little bench on the far far end of our school at the edge of a large grassy field.
The other kids would be playing sports or on the swings. But a group of 4 of us would walk to that bench and… laugh. It’s odd and...

Room Parents with Fantastic Names & Histories
This is so weird to me. In a good way.
Ok, So when I was in college my friend Kory and I were mesmerized by a children’s program called Gullah Gullah Island. (The show stars Ron Daise and Natalie Daise as “Ron” and “Natalie,” along with their fictional children Shaina and James, niece (Vanessa), non-fictional child Simeon and fictional tadpole, Binyah Binyah...
Roan at the Photo Shoot
Roan attended the photo shoot for the current Groundlings show. This was a first. Kids don’t usually hang out at this type of thing.
I picked Roan up at school and we headed to meet friends at a pumpkin patch for an hour first. He wore a costume. Obviously.
We then headed to the studio. Roan sat down in his costume and started to do his homework.
A goth clad cast member sat and helped...
Sad
I was just sitting down to write a few posts about what’s been going on lately. The opening of my show tonight, the many birthday parties Roan has this weekend (Including a DOG birthday party where Ned will have to dress up in Disco themed clothing) and other fun things… Then I got this letter from Roan’s teacher and find myself floored.
(I felt it necessary to omit the...
"Fruit Gummies"
So after my Daily Show audition which I wrote about here: http://talesofarealhollywoodmom.tumblr.com/post/11190631195/girls-gone-good
I picked Roan up at school feeling rather chipper in my nice suit and pink heels. Usually when I pick Roan up my hair is a birds nest mess and I am wearing some sort of work out gear having NOT actually worked out. Today I was very pulled together and had a...
Girls Gone... Good.
Yesterday was a gorgeous Los Angeles Fall day. It had rained hard all day the day before and so Hollywood was fresh and clean and the sky was blue and there was just a slight autumn chill in the air. I had been up late the night before preparing an audition to be a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
I’d auditioned for this show a few years ago and learned that they want more...
Tiny Felt Mouse Feet
Tomorrow marks the last Preview show for our new Fall Show at the Groundlings. For the past 5 weeks I’ve written a bunch of sketches, put them up on Tuesday night, had the director tell me what was in for that Friday’s Preview show and what wasn’t. Costumed, wigged, blocked, memorized my stuff that did get in for Friday’s show and started all over the following week....
