Gina Wilhelm Actress - Tap Dance Classes Seattle
Today I started a new quarter of tap dance classes Seattle, the winter session of classes at Anthony Peters' Tap Dance Seattle.
My teacher, Anthony Peters, studied with tap icon Jerry Ames in New York City. Anthony performed in the Jerry Ames Tap Dance Company and the Gail Conrad Tap Dance Theatre. Both companies were important in the tap dance revival of the 1980's. Anthony's a skilled tap technician, and a good (and very entertaining) instructor!
I am pleased and proud to have received the 2011 Tap Dance Scholarship from The WILD SIDE Foundation (a charitable and educational non-profit, based in Hollywood, California, which benefits artistic and gifted performers of all ages).
I am grateful to The WILD SIDE Foundation for this generous scholarship.
I look forward to a new quarter of fun tap combos! Tap tap tappity tap tap!

Gina Wilhelm Actress
Gina Wilhelm Actress
Hi, my name is Gina Wilhelm. I started acting when I was 5 years old, and I work on stage, musical theatre, film, and television.
I do voice overs and radio.
(I had my own radio show when I was 12 years old, and it was detailed in the National Geographic World magazine).
I am new to blogging, but you can find me on Facebook, and my voice page is here, and my acting page is here. Here is my resume.
I love acting because it makes me feel like I'm going somewhere and my life has meaning. I enjoy the energy that comes from being in front of an audience. I love the opportunity to portray characters very different from myself, because it is exciting. It's fun!
I am glad you found me. I hope you will hire me or come see one of my shows. Thank you very much!

Zooey Deschanel
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Zooey Deschanel
Actress Zooey Deschanel is sweet in her roles, especially in movies like "(500) Days of Summer" and "Elf."
However, she may have gone too far this time. Some critics are calling her new series "New Girl" "twee" and "atrociously cute."
On the other hand, Matt Roush of TV Guide likes her "zany vulnerability," while Alan Sepinwall at Hitflix finds the sitcom the "best new comedy of the fall season."
Which side do you fall on? Is Zooey just cute enough, or just too twee?

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Only Six Days Left To Vote For the Gregory Awards!
Every Fall, Theatre Puget Sound bestows the Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement Awards on a number of deserving actors, designers, theater companies, and productions.
Although the first set of nominations have occurred, there is still time to submit nominees for the Members' voice and People's choice categories.
Members' voice awards are decided by votes received from TPS members, who received their ballots in their e-mails earlier this month.
People's choice awards come from subscribers to the Seattle Performs e-newsletter, who also received THEIR ballots in their emails earlier this month.
People should vote for me for my work with Thistle Theatre this year as the mother and Grandmutti and Greta the rabbit in "Little Red Riding Hood," as Cleotilde and the cockroach leader in "Brother Coyote and Sister Fox," and as the ship's computer and Queen Xenovia in "Quest For Planet X: The Space Musical."
They should also select me for my performance as Mad Margaret in Northwest Savoyards' production of "Ruddigore."
Readers of this blog will remember my favorable reviews for that show.
The Journal Media Group said I had a "crazed abandon worthy of Lucia di Lammermoor," while the Mukilteo Beacon said "Gina Wilhelm steals the show as well as a heart or two as Margaret."
Ballots must be submitted by September 4th to receive consideration. Don't delay. Vote now!

Handspring Puppet Company Wins Tony
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Handspring Puppet Company Wins Tony
Tony Award nominations were announced today (May 3). In addition to the usual nominations, a Special Tony award was announced for Handspring Puppet Company.
Handspring is the Cape Town, South Africa, puppet company that created the incredible horse puppets for the play "War Horse."
The puppets are made of plywood and cane, are operated by 3 puppeteers, move with ashtonishing realism, and are ridden by the actors during the course of the play
The horses are incredibly durable; some from the London run of the play lasted over 1000 performances.
"War Horse" opened on Broadway last month. One reviewer called the play "astonishing" (the play itself is also nominated for a Best Play Tony).
William Kentridge, who had worked with Handspring in the past, also praised the company's work, saying, "you can't stop yourself believing the reality of those horses.
"It's kind of magical."

Happy Birthday, Carol Burnett!
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Happy Birthday, Carol Burnett!
Carol Burnett celebrates her 78th birthday today, April 26. She's a huge influence on me, both on and off the stage.
Carol got her start as an assistant to ventriloquist Paul Winchell and his figure, Jerry Mahoney.
She made a name for herself singing "I Made a Fool of Myself over John Foster Dulles."
She starred as Princess Winifred in "Once Upon a Mattress" and had a successful stint on "The Garry Moore Show."
Her "Carol Burnett Show" was the last truly successful variety show to date, running from 1967 to 1978.
On the big screen, she played Miss Hannigan in 1982's "Annie" and starred in "Noises Off" in 1992.
A fabulous singer and gifted comedienne, I am pleased to wish one of my most favorite funny women many happy returns of the day!
