2 days...

well my play Don't Dress came and went and was a big success.  we even had some sold out shows.  it was so much fun.  i'm sorry it is over.  i am now in hell.  and by hell i mean stage managing A Christmas Carol at New Stage.  where i have to deal with small children and bad acting.  this is not a good combination.  not to mention the fact that we've yet to have one rehearsal where the entire cast is there.  i'm counting the days until it's over and hopefully i won't have killed anyone, including me.

the countdown begins...just five days till my birthday and the best party ever.

so i'm well into rehearsals for the play i'm in.  it's called Don't Dress for Dinner and it's a farce.  it's hysterical.  so anyone who wants to see it should.  it's october 20-31 at new stage.

things have taken a turn for the better.  i found out recently that i did get cast in the next show after all.  plus i got a write up in one of the local free newspapers about being an actress to watch.  not bad at all.

so i'm now stage managing the show i didn't get cast in The Spitfire Grill.  it was weird at first and still is sometimes.  i found out that i was really close to getting the part.  my singing blew the director away, however she wanted the other girl's acting or look or something.  doesn't that suck? especially considering it's a musical you would think they'd want the stronger singer, but whatever.  so i have the occassional jealousy pang during rehearsal but for the most part i'm just focused on trying to get my shit together because this show has so many friggin cues and props!  it's fun but i can't help feel a twinge of sadness because i want to be in a show.  speaking of i didn't get cast in the next show at new stage.  it was another i didn't fit the part physically thing.  my audition was awesome.  i was the best of the bunch.  but i didn't look enough like another actress or something.  whatever.  they want me to stage manage that show but i haven't decided if i will or not.  the pay is good though.  better than if i was acting so that helps.  and i need the money too.  i just want to be in something though!  it's been too long since i've been onstage.  the longest stretch yet.  it doesn't look like i'm gonna be in anything at new stage this season though.  i just don't see it happening.  and that sucks.  that means i have to wait even longer.  i just can't seem to get cast right now.  nothing against me, my auditions are great, i'm just not what they're looking for apparently.  hopefully i will be soon.
