If I'm blue, let me truly play the clown...

        All I can say is that David said to both Chris and Myself ( on seperate occasions) during the audition process for Pippin...that I "could play any of the roles in the show, I deserved a role in the show, and that the only reason he couldn't give it to me was because I was not a Stonehill student", And he told Chris that he really wanted me

See, here's MY thinking, to me, it makes sense that someone can say " Well she's an alum" (which Pat said after Chris told her that you were in it as well, and needed you in it), And it's logical because you did go to Stonehill and participate in STC for four years, and worked hard and well, and I mean obviously she loves you! So she wouldn't want to not let you be a part of any shows there, that were open casting!! But as I typed in my reply to Shannon, I believe that she does not like me, and is really looking for an excuse. Because if she believes it to be "unethical" to not let students who are attending the school to be ableto participate in the shows here, then technically, regardless of whether or not you're an alumn, you DID participate for four years, so it's like you "had your chance, and now it's the students presently heres turn"
To me, if she does not want me in the show because she believes that the students here deserve to be cast before outside students, then it technically applies to all students regardless of age or alumni status. So that's why I think that she just doesn't want me to be in the show, because it is ME.

Cleaaaaarlllyy I LOVE you and want you to be in it, and I think that you being in Jakes Women and Gothic Tale, was fabulous, and Im so looking forward to doing The Minotaur! I hope what I typed made sense...
Basically I think you should be allowed to do it, just as I think that I should be allowed to do it, unless it is for complete ethical reasons that she thinks I(We) should not. I think that made sense. HaHa

what makes it all even more baffling is that you have been in chris' directing scenes. so, like shannon had said, you've been there, he's used you as an actress, why would it suddenly be problematic? plus, the auditions were open! and everyone who tried out got cast! so you clearly didn't steal a part from anyone, if that's what the concern is.

actually, what's really more baffling is why there's any issue now, but there was not an issue for jake's women. it JUST doesn't make any sense. and, really, i'll obviously step away from the show if they're not going to let you in it, because it makes even LESS sense for me to be a part of it. (which i sort of wondered about anyway, and was why i wasn't sure i could audition).

I concur- none of it makes sense! I don't think that anyone should have a say in who's in Chris' show except Chris- hopefully it will all work out that way, I am keeping everything crossed.
