That's a News!
Well, it didn't come too surprising but I think I'm just starting to realize that my life is changing. We will see if this will turn out as a good change or another disaster ...
To keep it straight:
Sometimes I'm filling in for the lead singer of the band I was member of a while ago. It's a cover-band and ... the most of the members are doing it just for fun. They are a really mixed bunch both job- and agewise. At one of the rehearsals some time ago one member of the band, Nicole, made a recording of us joking and kidding around during a break. I didn't know she's working at the local stage - a day later I knew it because she called me to tell me, the intendant wanted to talk to me about something.
That was in June and I nearly forgot about this mysterious call. Nicole never talked what the intendant wanted from me, she only told me, that she made a video of me, mocking and doing some silly stuff. Last week I got another call, this time said intendant who invited me to a sort of casting/rehearsal today.
And that is what I did today. I went there, not really knowing what he wanted from me. He tested me, gave some lines to me, did a casting - well, I think castings are usually go that way, don't know. Finally we came to my still existing back-problem (in fact, since I carried a chair from the basement to my yard two weeks ago it's worse again) and that I'm not really fit in doing a lot of things with it. But he said, he would be fine with it. And then he offered me an internship for half a year with the possibilty for three more month (to do a regular season).
To quote him:
"It would be more than a waste to ignore your talent and don't try to improve it."
Now I'm still baffled. I've to go to the job center tomorrow and tell them. If they are okay with it I'll start on September, 1st and I am going to look into everything, not only acting, also all the other stuff around the stage (yes, including make up - looks like my favourite dream-job is coming back to me), directing, etc. Maybe even writing a little. He knows that I write and he actually bought the novel and read it (and liked it :)).
