Well my Foray into Community Theatre Acting, was a roller coaster. First off I thought I had an audition in Bellevue on Sunday, @ 7:30 PM. I was wrong. I had had an audition in Bellevue on Sunday, @ 7:00 PM. I realize that at 5:30 PM, so I was in a bit of a frantic scramble. I figured I needed a head shot, and a resume. BOTH OF THESE WERE WRONG. I got out at 6:35 and mapqwest says that it is 28 minutes to get there. I figured I would get there as he is explaining things to everybody. I THEN proceeded to take the wrong turn on Hwy 370. Allow me to stand on my soap box:
mapqwest a very good service for people who have my sense of direction(which is none) However if I get lost 9 times out of 10 it is because I don't which way to turn after taking an off-ramp. That is bull shit because more than likely the person hasn't committed the directions to memory so they are trying to read while driving and I know that s not good. But GOD DAMN IT TELL ME WHICH WAY TO TURN. Also one last thing, the first step they don't give you a left or right but they give you a direction like North. I am glad that they tell you which street you need to see. There I am done and moving on.
So Because of said ranting I ended up being not just a couple of minutes late I was 15 MINUTES LATE. But the director seemed nice I had to fill out a form which proved that I didn't need a resume. I arrived as he was pairing up people. There were 8 people and guess who was the odd man out. SO while I am filling out the form others are reading. I found it funny, because I knew the scene as soon as they started reading it, so I laugh at how they are reading it. Lets put it this way British phrases in Southern drawl is funny.
My first scene was the scene where Metcalf enters as Trotter is looking for his skis. It goes all the way till everyone exits. I had to read not for Major Metcalf, the part I was casted for, but for Trotter. So I had a nice long Monologue essentially. I felt good about it.
Second scene was Giles and Mollie after she enters in. So I have to seem like I was in love. It wasn't hard as the woman I was reading with was very attractive and was also very nice. I didn't feel as good about this one but like I said I don't fell like I could be a lover or husband that will show affection.
All in all I will know by Friday (11/18) I don't know if they will call even if I didn't get a role either way I am hoping on hope.
