No good Real Estate News....So here's some "Client News"

One would have to live in a cave to not know the Real Estate news is not great, yet Brooklyn and Manhattan seem to remain relatively lively as real estate markets are concerned. Clearly the woes of the banks are making financing more problematic, but mortgage money is available for those borrowers who are not on the fringe in terms of deposit amounts and the ability to furnish documentation.

OK....now the good stuff:

Instead of dwelling on Real Estate (no pun intended), I'm pleased to report on three of my client beauties:

Laura Piquado has just finished her run as Mrs. Stockmann in Ibsen's " An Enemy of The People". I was delighted to attend one of her performances and I can report that Laura's performance, as well as those of her co-stars, was riveting! Next time I'll make sure to report of her appearances well in advance.

Milena Govich, who has starred in NBC's "Law and Order" and "Conviction" before that, as well as many other credits, has a great "gig" coming this fall, but I've been sworn to secrecy for the moment. As soon as I'm allowed, I'll share the details here.

In the meanwhile, Milena is having fun. Please join her for the Grand Opening of the new Donna Distefano Jewelry Atelier.
Donna is an incredibly gifted jewelry designer, and a dear personal friend of hers. She has been a jeweler of the stars for over ten years, and it would be cool to attend the grand opening celebration of her gorgeous new space. Milena tells me she has loved wearing her jewelry both on the red carpet and in her daily life, and it never fails to attract attention. Come be a guest and experience firsthand her genuinely creative artistry.

Last, but not least, Sarah Blaze is currently in Reno, Nevada in rehearsals for "The Barber of Seville" where she lights up the stage as Rosina in this production staged by the Nevada Opera. For those few fortunate souls who may be in Reno in early October, these are the details:

Gioachinno Rossini's
The Barber of Seville
Friday, October 3, 2008 - 7:30 pm
Sunday, October 5, 2008 - 2 pm
"Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!"
Performed at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts
Sung in Italian with English Supertitles
Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville has been hailed as a masterpiece of comedy ever since its premiere. When the bumbling Doctor Bartolo schemes to marry Rosina, Figaro (the barber of Seville) steps in to save the day and insure that her true love, the handsome Count Almaviva, gets her instead! The beautiful and dynamic Sarah Blaze (our Cinderella from 2007) returns as Rosina; Mark Walters (our fiery Pirate King from 2007) brings Figaro to vibrant life; and Joseph Muir (last heard at Nevada Opera in La Traviata in 2001) makes a long-awaited comeback as Count Almaviva.

I'll make it a point to notify everyone when Sarah next performs in a venue closer to our fair city.
