theatre
Hey all, I just wanted to give you guys an update with what's going on with me. As usual it mostly involves theatre because that's just how my life works.
First thing my play is this weekend. Yes that means it's tomorrow and Saturday and with the late notice I don't expect any of you to attend. It's a weird feeling. I've been talking about my senior project for the last 9 months or so and now it's finally here. In three days it will be over. I kind of can't believe it. My last show at Roger Williams.
I tried out for A Midsummer Night's Dream, which opens in March. The director told me that he wanted to give me the lead role but that because it conflicted slightly with my senior project that he isn't giving me any part at all. It doesn't seem fair to me. I jumped into Ghosts with only 2 1/2 weeks left and did fine. He should know that I could handle missing the first couple rehearsals. Now I'm a senior and don't get to be in anything in my last semester. It just doesn't feel right. I think I've earned the right, not to mention the trust, to have that part. And if not that part, he could have at least given me a smaller part.
The other play we're doing this semster is Little Shop of Horrors. I tried out and got a callback. It came down to me and one other kid for Seymour, the lead. The director pulled me aside, told me I was having a great audition, that she was really impressed, and asked me if I thought I could handle the lead in a musical with no previous musical theatre experience. I said yes. I thought I had the part. When I checked the cast list the other kid's name was there instead of mine.
SO instead of two leads I got no parts whatsoever. I don't what I'll do with myself the rest of the semester. I feel cheated. I earned Theseus/Oberon in a Midsummer Night's Dream and I thought I had Seymour too. The part was given to a freshman! Maybe I'll get a part time job for the semester, I don't know.
