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"!
