Summary: Jenny and Emma are both in the same play, whose characters are pitted against each other.
Jenny was incredibly nervous, as this was her first real audition. After years of singing in the shower and acting out scenes from her favorite movies with her friends, she realized it was finally time to take the step and go for her dream of becoming an actor. The show she was auditioning for was a new production. It had something to do with a boy and girl finding love, as these shows usually do. The role that Jenny was auditioning for was somewhat considered to be the villain. The character was always trying to come between the main girl and the boy in the show. This was not something that Jenny had much personal experience with, being that she was never interested in boys, but she was very interested in attempting to be the bad girl. She has lived in Berlin all her life and she was always a good girl. She went to a private school but went against the usual pattern of rebellion that many students did. There had been a couple girlfriends so far in her life, but she had yet to find that big love. It was not something she was actively seeking, but she did hope someday it would appear.
As she waited in the hallway for her name to be called, she continued running through the lines in her head. The character was supposed to be very sexual and ooze confidence. This was going to be a true test of her acting chops. The scene she was auditioning with was on in which the bad girl flirts with the main boy in the show. Jenny was not sure of herself, even after rehearsing it over and over again. At least this first audition didn’t require her to sing, that would only happen if she made it through to round 2.
“Jennifer Hartman,” called the assistant.
Jenny quickly turned her head and stood up, dropping her bag on the floor. “That’s me” Jenny replied shyly. She bent down and picked up the items that scattered on the floor from her bag.
“Follow me please, through here.” Jenny was lead into the audition room and stopped just in the doorway when she saw a table of 5 very intimidating looking people. There were two chairs facing each other in front of the table. A man was sitting in one chatting with one of the producers.
“Hello Jennifer. Please have a seat. Are you ready to do the scene?” asked the producer on the end of the table who barely looked up from the table.
“Yes I am. Hello” Jenny sat in the seat and faced the man to begin her scene.
Jenny began and suddenly changed into a sultry sexbomb of a woman, and pulled her chair up very closely to the man. “Do you really think that you can be truly satisfied by that troll of a woman?” Jenny leaned in very close to the man’s face and slowly ran her hand across his chest and then into his hair. She pulled him close to her face and whispered into his mouth. “There is no one that can please you like I can.” The man’s breathing got heavy and a slight blush emerged on his face. He sat in the chair staring at Jenny.
Jenny stopped and pushed back her chair and looked at the producers. “Did you want more? I thought he had a line there?” Jenny asked.
The producer cleared his throat and addressed the man sitting in front of Jenny, “Yes he did have a line there. Are you okay Mike?”
“Umm, yes I’m fine, I’m sorry” Mike responded.
“Well you clearly made an impression Miss Hartman. I think that’s all we need to see for today. Thank you for coming in, you will be hearing from us.” The producer smiled at Jenny and she got up and left the room.
There was very little that could describe how she felt at that moment. She thought it had been going well at first but then she was cut off and did not have the chance to finish the scene. Jenny did not know what to think but all she could do was go home and wait. A few hours after arriving home, she called her mom and had a little small talk before her mother brought up the audition.
“Okay, okay Jennifer, tell me. How did it go?” asked Mrs. Hartman.
“It was really strange. I went in there and I think I portrayed it well but then it just stopped.”
“What do you mean, ‘it just stopped’?” Jenny’s mother asked with confusion.
“Well...I did this scene where I am supposed to get close to the main male character. So I did my lines, but then nothing happened. He just didn’t respond” Jenny was clearly frustrated by this. “And then that was it. They didn’t want to start over or have him pick it up there or anything. They just said thank you and I left.”
“Oh, I’m sorry honey. But who knows, maybe you were so amazing that was all they needed” her mom cheerily replied.
“I don’t know Mom. We’ll see. I’m going to go to bed, I don’t want to think about this anymore tonight.” Jenny bid her mother good night and got ready for bed. She knew there was nothing that could be done now, she must go on.
