Post #7: Auditions Auditions and More Auditions!

Today, I auditioned for a student-written play called "The Demise of Lord Blackwell and His Wife," through Basement Arts theatre.  I really want to get in, and get the part of Anne, Lord Blackwell's wife.  I don't know when I will find out about the callbacks, but hopefully soon.  I think this was the last day of auditions, and I think they ended at 10.  So should be soon.  The play would be really fun; it's a comedy, which I have never really done.  I mean, I've done musical comedies, but they're not quite the same.  There are four female roles, so I will have a lot of competition, but I think, if given the opportunity, I could definitely pull this off.  It's a long-shot, but I could get the part.  The director told me I did a good job after I read for Anne, so it's definitely possible.

I auditions for some other roles a few weeks ago; M-agination Films, a group of SAC majors, wrote a bunch of 10-minute plays that they will direct and produce, and I auditioned for a couple of the roles.  I really want to play Scarlett in "The Jones Family," or "Meet the Jones Family," or something like that.  She is in a family of serial killers, and her job is to make sure her brother kills his girlfriend, who is their next target.  I have never played any kind of role like this, and I think it would be really fun!  I've never been the "bad girl," and that's definitely what this is.  However, the audition was weeks ago, and I still haven't heard about any callbacks, so this is not a very good sign.  Oh, well.  Just have to forget and stop worrying about it, there's no use there.

I really love acting, and so in high school, I did every play opportunity I could, and there were 3 or 4 productions a year.  However, there are so many opportunities with so many different organizations (some I had never even heard of until I auditioned) that it would be crazy to try out for everything, so I am having to pick and choose very carefully.  Hopefully I've made the right decisions with what I've auditioned for, what I've turned down, what I've accepted, and what I haven't auditioned for, but we'll see!
