More about earlier. I don't even know where to begin.
Auditions for "Every Man" were today, and I went in there pretty confident that I'd get a decent role. The auditions came to a halt when we started discussing the characters, so only a few people got to read. I jumped right in there and read for the titled character. I figured "why not? I've got as good a shot as anybody." And so, I was wrong. Sam told me in English that SOMEGIRLIDESPISE had already gotten cast as the lead when auditions haven't come to a close yet. Mrs. Schlink told her she had the part right in front of Chad and Sam, who were also looking to audition for the part.
That's it. I'm done. I don't even care anymore. This obviously isn't as "professional" as Schlink makes it out to be. She cast out this whole show in her head, without even listening to her actors.
Just you watch, I'll be "doctor" who recites that one short monologue at the end of the show. If that becomes the case, I will be sure to leave this "actor's studio" class and find shows elsewhere.
I'm not going to let my self confidence fall again. I know I'm not a "bad actor" like I thought I was last year. It's Mrs. Schlink that still sees me as the same girl who accidently showed up to years ago and went along with everything. Theatre is now my passion, and if she can't see that, than I obviously don't belong in her class anymore.
I'll keep you updated on this.
