mixed blessings
I've been cast as a member of the chorus in Mona. While it's great that I got cast, and it's great that I'm going to participate in my first musical, and it's great that I'm going to work with Dashel, who's supposed to be crazy and cool and amazing, I'm disappointed.
Why? Because I don't have a role of my own. I'm part of a group. We'll be nameless ensemble cast members. I've done this once before--I was a "doobie" for the Senior-Directed One-Acts last semester--and while the part was interesting, it wasn't as "glorious" as being cast in a character role.
I have no right to be upset. I was cast in the lead female role in Arker's Dreams. Furthermore, I have a 3-for-3 record this year for auditions--I'm hugely lucky. There are people much more serious about theater than I who didn't get cast for this. (Sorry, Drew. *hug*)
I'm a huge ingrate.
