drama queen
So I dragged myself up to the City tonight for auditions for the Dickens Fair. It was, um, interesting. I was *way* off my game, as I'd had to wait an awfully long time to be seen and all of my adrenaline had sapped out. And I was starving. And nervous. And fighting off a migraine.
But the directors were all very nice and very encouraging, and I read lots of different stuff. Fortunately, I can cold-read passably well. But then I had to improv, which I was totally not ready to do. I have to be awfully relaxed to do that well. Boy, did I feel like a doofus.
Anyway, I auditioned, and that was a Good Thing. I haven't been on stage for ages and ages and even auditioning (which I loathe) felt pretty good. We'll see if they want me.
And tomorrow I get to trek back up to the City to pick up...(wait for it)...my corset! Woohoo!
Now I'd really like a festive adult beverage.
Comments
I have friends (well, friends of friends) that work the Dickens Faire every year. I'll cross my fingers that you get the gig.
Noticed from perusing the archives that you were in a play at the Alterena last year. I trod the boards there long long ago. One adult play, more children's theatre.
