So It’s set the show that I shall be directing will be December 2nd to the 18th 2005. My audition dates are October 10th and 11th. I have a slot for my show but I have no play picked out. This kinda worries me. : ( But then I again there are only 3 out 8 shows that are actually chosen. The next two shows and Mr. M’s which is not until next June. The other Amateur Director wants to direct Bash, I’m excited about that. Maybe I can talk her into letting me be her Assistant Director.
I’m getting a little nervous. I want the show to go well but I don’t even have a play. The ones that I did choose, the artistic director said it had no literature value and does not challenge me… Do I really need to be challenged directing a full production? I turned in the Adventures of Captain Neato Man, Dolls, Widows and Children First (The last act of Torch Song Trilogy), and just gave him a copy of Bang! Bang! You’re Dead. I’m waiting for his input on the latter.
I’m already chosen as the set designer for the “Halloween” show. I don’t even know what the hell I’m supposed to do. I have no training on designing sets, nor lights nor sound, but these people keep asking me to do this. I wing it. Most of the time I just do things by trial and error. I fiddle with this Fiddle for that and hope I don’t blow anything up. The only way of learning is by trying so I just keep my mouth shut and act like I know what I’m doing.
