Lots has happened...

After waiting over a month, the role in Carousel is NOT mine. But I'm pretty relieved not to be a part of the Hot Mess Express.

The past couple of weeks I have been involved in Hedda Gabler. A St. Edward's alumni called me in to audition and I got the role of Berte, the sassy maid. So far, the experience has been amazing. The company I am surrounded by is intelligent and creative, creating the perfect working atmosphere.

Today in particular I have decided to apply for more film roles. I really need to build a demo reel before I graduate...

Where I Stand

I was supposed to hear back from Carousel last Tuesday. Instead, I received an email yesterday stating I have a callback... today! Oh boy! Here goes nothin'...

Pet Peeve

One of my biggest pet peeves is not hearing back. I'm fine not getting the part, I'm not fine not knowing I didn't get the part.

Spirits: I heard from my friend who received a no email that neither he, nor I, were cast.

Carousel: The cast list was post. Every role was cast except the one I was called back twice for was. Beside it stated TBA and more call backs are to be had. Unless by the grace of God the director has not sent the emails out, I do not think I got another call back. Then again, who actually knows.

I just want to know yes or no. I can handle the result. I can't handle not knowing.

Waiting, waiting.

Still sitting around and waiting to hear back from Carousel and Spirits.

I think I'm going crazy...

Another one!

Amazing Shows

On Wednesday night, I went to the opera to see La Traviata (aka, Camille the Opera). It. Was. BEAUTIFUL. The costumes were elaborate, the set was mesmerizing and the singing was unbelievable. And at the end, when the lead actress is "dying," the positions she sat in while sustaining her vocal talents was amazing.

Tonight, I had the pleasure of watching St. Edward's University's production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Four of the most talented people entertained my eyes, hears, heart and mind for 3 hours. It was a perfect cast and a moving interpretation of the piece. Job very well done.

C'est La Vie

As for my August: Osage County audition...

"Thank you for auditioning with us for August, Osage County. Unfortunately at this time, we do not have a spot for you in this production."

Oh well. Now back to my fabulous life!

Wishful Thinking

Looking back at last night's call backs, I feel good. I was called at 7:00pm, but wasn't seen until 10:00pm. The 3 hours of wait time made me very excited. I read for one scene that Mrs. Mullin is in and wow.

This character is mean, sassy and a slut -- That is my exact stereotype in roles (and in life).

All of the Mrs. Mullins were called into the room and one by one we read the scene in front of each other. He dismissed people when they were done with their read. I was second to last, so I was able to watch everyone. When I did my read, the director interrupted me (he hadn't interrupted anyone else) and asked me to put the moves on the guy I was reading with. With confidence, I applied his notes received reassuring smiles and laughs.

There is definitely competition, but I feel good. He mentioned another round of call backs on Friday and I have my fingers crossed.

Oh Boy

It appears I have received a call back for the role of Mrs. Mullin in R&H's Carousel: A non-singing cameo!

Yipee!

This video makes me excited for the show:
