Important Lessons in Counting Chickens

Rember that post I had not too long ago about all those opportunities that were popping up? Yeah well... so much for that.

Through a series of avenues I happened to hear that medium-sized house role I was up for already had their callbacks. Needless to say, I wasn't asked to attend. Not that I'm not being considered I guess I divulge a few details. The play was The Dead Guy and it's being performed at ArtsWest. Supposedly the director wanted the cast to skew older than I look. Fair enough. But it would've been nice to know that I was no longer being considered.

I guess I'm still technically up for Romeo and Juliet at Balagan but I'm not holding my breath. It's been about a week since the audition and they said they would get back to us right away. I shot off an email to a couple of people at Balagan and got a reply that said they had just finished casting, it took them longer than expected, and I should hear something pretty soon. It's a glimmer of hope. Not a spectacularly bright glimmer though.

I think I will gun for this Rep role though. It's a bit of a longshot but it's worth. It's the metaphoric Hail_Mary, only I'm throwing the ball towards the start of the first quarter. Maybe even on third down.

Call me over-eager.

Being in a show at the Rep would be incredible. What's the play? Or should you wait before saying?

I'm not an actor, but I was brought into a musical to dance once. It was fabulous. It was at a local theater you should not audition at.
