Piss and moan time!
Well, i got a callback for the 1st day yay! howver it totally sucked. I only danced which is NOT my strongest point. but i mean if i were to be the cripple boy then i really wouldn't have to worry about that. So then came reading time. I didn't get called up. to do anyting. I was very upset. since the judges couldn't make up their minds they decided to have a 2nd callback list. which i did not make. Normally I would have been fine with this. however i was totally crushed. I mean, i thought i fit the part so well. So, i went to Mrs.Blanchette and asked why i wasn't called back. you know, what was she looking for that i didn't have? She said that I did a funny song and that she pictures me more of a comedic type person and that the other boys did more dramatic songs. umm...ok did it ever occur to her that maybe i HAVE done drama in my life? which i have. i mean she's only seen me do comedy which is why she categorized me like that. (she didn't say this) she didn't think i could do drama. well, hello!! she could have called me up to read and see how I did! I don't mean to sound snobby (im jsut really upset) but i think i could have done better than some of the ppl that went up to read for some parts. I mean i studied this play like crazy. im sry i coudn't get a dramatic song but i got a song that was more high which was in "Colin's" range. Besides that "Colin" doesn't even REALLY sing. i mean he sings but not like opera-ish like everyone else. anyways. for the role of Dickon,NOONE did Dickon with a Yorkshire accent....they all did it in British. He's Martha's brother who is Yorkshire!! I mean it really made me mad to see ppl go up and make that mistake and not get called to read! I even put on my form that my specialty is Dialects! I mean Mrs.Blanchette shouldn't just categorize me as just a "comedic" person. She should have at least asked me to read to see how i would do. I at LEAST wanted to read. And another thing which i think went against me, was the fact that im not in musical theatre class. I was the ONLY sophmore boy who didn't get called back the 2nd time and i was the ONLY sophmore boy who didn't get called back AND WASN'T in musical theatre class. I mean. excuse me for wanting to get stagecraft out of the way early and i have a spanish class. I WANTED to take musical theatre, really bad! but i couldn't! And you know what? the 1st day of callbacks Mr.Ames called some ppl back up cuz he wasn't sure of them. He could have always called me back up! but he didn't and i think the reason why all the other sophmore boys got to stay was because they were in the class and Mr.Ames and Mr.Lewis had seen them. Again, he could have always called me back up! And I DO NOT WANT TO DO TECH THEATRE ANYMORE!!!!!!! I DESPISE IT!! IM NOT GOOD AT IT!! IM GOOD AT THEATRE!! Im REALLY sry if i cound like a snob and all but i just really think that i got cheated out of this play and it really pisses me off! Mrs.Blanchette categorizes me and doesn't give me the chance to even TRY out the part, and because im not in Musical theatre and Mr.Ames isn't that familiar with me i become the only sophmore boy not on the 2nd callback. When he COULD have always called me up again at the first callback. It just really makes me think less of the theatre department at my school, i mean if they're going to do this then why hsould i even be there? I mean, it's a waste of my time? Im learning all this stuff but i don't get to show my talent!! So,wtf is the point! I know in the REAL world rejection is always common. But in the REAL world where ppl don't know me, i don't think they would have taken 1 look at me and said "oh no he's a comedic person i don't think he's right for this." I think they would have called me up to read and at least given me a shot. Like i said don't mean to sound snobby just tryin to vent. Im not really this snobby. just a lil but not a lot. lol. I don't know how to do that myspace cuts thing so sry if this takes up like, ur whole page. So ya. I feel that I was cheated, it makes me want to leave the school, even tho i prbly won't but ya. My life sucks....
