Call 'er Back Girl

Monday was only two days ago, but I feel like 2 weeks have passed in that span of time.  Wow.  My initial audition on the main stage was at approximately 2:32 PM.  I was second.  I remember slating (introing myself and my piece), I remember my face growing hot, and then suddenly, I say "Thank you!" and walk off.

It was such a rush that as I was walking off stage left toward the green room to get my measurements taken, I found myself thinking, "Fuck!  Where are my shoes!"  They were in my hand, seeing has I stripped down a bit during the course of my 75 second monologue.  Then I had to go through the whole realization that my audition was over.  I did it.  All that time of stress and panic and excitement about those mere seconds, and it was now over.

Onto Monday night, when I get a callback for Winter's Tale, along with the rest of the sophomores.  The director wanted to hear how we did Shakespeare, since we were the only class that didn't do a Shakespeare for our audition piece.  Thought it was really cool of the director to give us a shot.  He was also amazing by giving any help we needed or telling us the meaning of a passage, etc.  He said it seemed like I had a good understanding of the text.

SWEET

Because the last Shakespeare I did was about 5 years ago, and it was high school Shakespeare...yeah.

I had 4 callbacks last night.  One for a young woman in the English Restoration period (pulled out my inner Elizabeth Bennett), one for a deaf actress and the other two were for nuns.

Yep.

Today, I get a callback for Susan (the southern one) from Company.  HA.  And Proserpina from Winter's Tale.  Alrighty then!

So, maybe I seem more versatile than I thought, though I still embrace my inner "mom on crack."  Off to more "conslaveatory"!
