Tomatoes Anyone?

I can honestly say that today was a most unique day.

I auditioned for a play.

Yesterday I saw this poster and thought why not give it a try. It would be fun and a great way to meet people. The play runs in February 2021. Rehearsals are January and February 2021. They hold auditions now so cast members can take scripts home with them and be ready for January when they return.

So at 9:45 am today off to the theatre I went. And unbelievably nervous. It’d been a long time since I’d auditioned for anything. I guess not since ACT’s production of Evita. Good lord. I just looked that up. It was in 2009. Time sure flies.

It was a cold reading, although some people had the scripts before hand. You could choose to audition for specific roles or choose to opt for any role. I chose any. It’s a small cast (3 men, 4 women) so I knew any role would be fun. We all sat in the theatre and watched each other as the directors had us read various roles from preselected pages. Thus several people were on stage auditioning together which not only displayed individual talent but also created character interactions.

Auditions took over an hour. What was especially good was they said they’d be making their decisions quickly and would inform us today. Super.

I got a call! I have a part. It’s Myra Marlowe. So tomorrow we’re going to have a read through and I believe they’re going to record it so cast members can rehearse at home listening for their cues. Interesting concept. I’ve never heard of that before.

So that’s it for today. Interesting day wasn’t it.

I challenged myself and now have given myself an even bigger challenge for next year.

Try to challenge yourself.

Nite y’all
