I have been a regular theatergoer for the last four years. I travel to see shows in New York City frequently, in addition to seeing shows up and down the east coast. Although I have had many fan mail successes, 99% of my autgraphs have come as a result of stage door experiences.
I have written a book about these, called The Stage Door Guide. It is a wealth of knowledge for anyone who wants to have a great stage door experience. You can find it at Blurb.com.
This past thursday night, I saw the new Neil LaBute play Reasons To Be Pretty at the Lucille Lortel Theater in NYC.
I was able to meet two of the show's stars, Alison Pill and Piper Perabo.
I was able to get both of them to sign a playbill, and I was able to get a picture with Piper Perabo. This was a real thrill for me, since I am a huge Coyote Ugly fan. I didn't get a picture with Alison on this occasion because I got a picture with her at her last show, Mauritius.
