So yesterday me and my sister stayed after school to audition for the school play Our Town. If you haven't heard of it, i'm surprised because it's preformed like every 6 seconds... It's crazy popular.
Anyway, it was my second audition for a Lafayette Production and my sister's first. The procedure was: cold read three times. You can read either duet scenes or monologues. Jess and I read two scenes together and we both did a monologue separately.
It's been a while since i've acted, and i couldn't believe how much i missed it. I really enjoy being on a huge stage, lights blinding me and reading someone's words trying to stir up some crazy emotion.
well the auditions started at around 3:30pm and lasted till 5:30pm... the cast list was posted at 6pm. The auditions had been going on since Tuesday and i kind of feel bad for the drama teacher (Slav as we call her), but i guess that is her job.
So Jess and I had a baby siting job at six and couldn't stay to see the cast list. We were pretty upset and didn't want to wait the entire weekend to see it so we asked our friend to call us.
Later that night i received a phone call and was informed that me and Jess had made it! To the glorious parts of: townspeople....

I was just thrilled to make it, i mean you have to start somewhere! Jess is a little disappointed, but i told her there are no small parts, just small actors... she looked at me and said whats a small actor.... wow.
So rehearsal starts Tuesday. this Tuesday. Woo!

tried out once and my BF Scot, who had just come along becuase I was scared, got a part and I was relegated to the back of the theater to watch!
Our Town, is this not the same movie you watched last week and stated "this is the worst play I have ever seen"
You see....I am listening
When's the play?? Are "we" going to be practising how to be Townspeople on my visit?
