auditions

  

One of the plays I'm in  

 

  Auditions are scary. You have to get up in front of ton of people that you don't know that well, but you know that you're going to get to know them really well over the next few months well you're in the play together, and you really don't want one of their first impressions of you to be someone that isn't you at all because you're acting, but you also really want the casting director to think that you're someone else because you're acting. You forget half of your monologue because you're nervous, and you can feel your face going red. You get to the end of your monologue and freak out at the very quiet applause.
     Then you go through torture of the long wait for the cast list to come out. When it finally comes out, three hours after it was supposed to, you look at the list and feel a heavy weight hit your chest. Ranch Hand #3, how dumb. But you move on to the next plays cast list. This one's even worse. Girl #3. You try to make yourself feel better. You've read the play and you know that Ranch Hand #3 is a funny part, and you can do a lot with it. Then you go back to see who got the leads and you see what you missed.
     You're also the Tramp. That's an awesome part, and a lead! Like, the smallest lead in the play, but still a lead! You freak out. This is going to be awesome!

Well, that's what I did anyway.
