I haven't been posting recently and the main reason for this is auditions.

I am auditioning for Oklahoma!, a Rogers & Hammerstein jobby with a local drama group with whom I have been affiliated for several years. I'm auditioning for a principal role, that of WIll Parker - idealistic and romantic cowboy. If I got the role, I'd get a romance scene! I never get romance scenes. There are challengers for the role of course - they have as good a chance as me, but here's hoping

I was originally not going to post until Sunday night, when I would find out how my audition for the role went earlier in the day. The audition is taking place at my old school too. Amazing how things come full circle. I have the voice, I have the acting skill...now I just need to impress the director. I'm going to have to give one hell of a performance.

Other than that, my job hunt continueth and my life remains as unencumbered by a social life as ever. Which is why I really want this role - to actually ACHIEVE Something for a change. Getting lumped into the chorus is okay, but I don't want to be one of the chorus this time. I've paid my chorus dues, I've done chorus and bit-parts for six or seven years and I'm done with it. I will take a chorus role if given, but this role is one I REALLY want.

Over the top? Maybe. But it's not like I've got anything else to look forward to in the immediate future.
