I did go and do that audition for Highland Rep this past Saturday. They are presenting “Into The Woods,” a show that I really love, this coming July and I wouldn’t mind being a part of it. The whole audition process there was a little anti-climactic. I arrived about 15 minutes early, filled out the form and immediately taken in to audition … 10 minutes early! That kinda threw me. Theater folks are always running behind schedule. I went in chatted with the director and music director. Sang my song that I had prepared. Got vocalized (God, I hate doing scales). And that was it. Five minutes and it was done. No cold reading from the script. Nothing. Just sing and leave. Supposedly they will be letting folks know about casting by the end of this week. I don’t really expect to hear from them. Asheville has such a bigger base of people to cast from. Plus, the part that I am best suited for (The Baker) is a part that every other 30-ish male that auditioned probably wants as well. If I get it … great. If I don’t … well that’s fine as well.
Grrr. I am finding it hard to get excited about a lot of things at this point in my life.
