INTO THE WOODS!
So, I guess my ethical problem won't be a problem.....
I got Little Red in Into The Woods! Performances aren't until the end of april/beginning of may, but rehearsals are starting nowish. I donno how it's gunna work for me to have class and rehearsals, but I'm so excited!!!!
I had my audition yesterday (tuesday) and all I did was sing a minute long song and then they asked me to come back later that night to read a scene for little red with Jack. so I came back with the scene memorized and almost right away they called me in and I read the scene with our precious costume lady and the director and musical director were laughing the whole time(during my lines and my reactions). and then they said thank you and that was it. I stuck around for a while to help other people run lines for their callback scenes and then I left.
today the callback were supposed to be posted online and on the door of the theatre and so I just happened to be walking past the theatre building as a friend of mine who also auditioned was walking to check the list and she told me the list was posted... so I went over to it and saw my name next to Little Red and I thought, "oh that's weird, I'm the only one. okay awesome, I got a callback!" and then I read the title on that list and it said "Into The Woods Cast List as of 10/14" and it took me a few moments to process what that meant.... it meant I didn't get a callback for little red... I WAS little red. I got the part. what? I got the part? this doesn't happen to me! I actually tried out for this show at school that I really cared about and really wanted to be in and I actually got the part I really wanted! And if he accepts the part the guy playing Jack will be really fun to play off of. and again if she accepts the girl playing my granny is really fun and I'm friends with her. and I recently became friends with the girl playing the baker's wife and she's so much fun and we get along really well and she was so excited and we walked back to our rooms together and were just so excited and tried to get the excitement out so we didn't seem like bitches later infront of people who didn't get called back or didn't get the parts they wanted.
that was actually one of my first thoughts, for the other parts is that I'm so happy for the people that got them... but there were some of my closest friends who were called back for roles that they didn't really want and didn't get the part they were shooting for. I think i was one of few if not the only one who was really trying for Little Red, so that was good, because I wasn't in competition really with my friends.
anyway, I'm super excited. this is turning out to be a good year for me acting wise. I have to focus on the play i'm in now though, and kinda put aside into the woods for a while... but still somehow rehearse for it...
after the original shock and excitement of getting the part began to ware off I realized that now I'm in two shows technically... and I am taking 20 credits... which puts me in academic overload.... and I have a more active social life kinda.... soo.... that is kinda a lot to handle. oh and I have a fractured bone in my toe that won't heal! so my busy schedule isn't helping that.... I know it will be fine and there are more important things to stress out about, but I am kinda setting myself up for a nervous breakdown in a few weeks!
hopefully everything will turn out well!!!
