And thus ends...
And thus ends my time at the Penumbra Theatre Company. As I'm not to surprised, this whole ordeal has basically cost me my job. The option of being called back for something is still open, but I would be shocked if it happened. I do believe that even though I'm fucking myself over, it was the best decision for both the show and my own mental health.
I am pretty pissed about one thing though. I had really hoped that I could stay around to see the show through opening, since I've but a shit-ton of work into it. But after busting my ass today I they told me (nicely) that it would be better if I wasn't at any more rehearsals, etc...
It is my own fault, and I knew there would be major ramifications to this decision. It was my decision. I was not fired from the show itself, I told them that I could not meet the requirements for the show, and I just didn't have the skills to pull it off. That in turn did lead to today's events, and I would have been amazed had there been any other reaction. Sometimes honesty has a price, and this time it did.
Time to move on though. Start trying to get ready for school in January and that'll be a whole new chapter in my life.
