Hey guys! Today is the forth day of school! For me anyway... I have theatre every other day first period. I won't bore you with the details of my sarcastic, six hundred year old, white mustached teacher who scares every one to death. He said that he has tried to convince every one of his students out of acting and succeeded with almost all of them. But the few that he couldn't convince out of it, he did everything possible to help them on their way. There is nothing in this world that makes me happier, career wise, other than theatre. He's not going to convince me out of it.
About the audition, we are doing.... Drum roll please! The Miracle Worker!!! It's about Helen Keller. I auditioned as Kate, Helen's mom. It's kind of funny because I played Kate in the class production last year. In fact when the director, a sweet young theatre I teacher, called me up to read as Kate, she called me Kate even though I had her all last year.
In case your confused about the way I'm explaining things, we did a cold reading in front of everyone auditioning. The director had slates (pieces of the script) marked out for us to read. We went out into the hall, practiced our lines for a while and came back in when they called us.
I hope I get a callback but I'm not sure I will. I did a lot of motion with my words, made facial expressions, ect, but I don't think she noticed it. My new theatre teacher on the other hand was staring at my face the entire time I did the facial expressions. Hopefully that's a good sign. With 80 people auditioning, I was only able to read once. That's okay. Now's the time to pray.
