I was mauled by the Lion

but I can entertain the kiddies. What I mean to say is, I mentioned my first ever "real play" audition and the results in the comments.

The same day I got the disappointing news about Lion, I went for another audition, this time a university production of Paul Sills' Story Theatre. The audition was a lot of fun and laid back. I still didn't give it all I had, I felt that I was capable of more but just didn't give it. Ah well, I'll get better at showcasing my stuff on the spot when it matters.

Well, I just went and checked the cast list for Story Theatre and I MADE IT! This calls for a w00t, I do believe.

This is a children's show and I think it will be a lot of fun. Lion In Winter is a hefty show and requires a strong cast as there are no small roles. You couldn't really cast someone and say "Well if they suck, at least it's only a small role." The directory really couldn't take chances on someone that they weren't sure about. So no, I'm not surprised that I didn't get cast in it.

But Story Theatre will fit me better anyway, I think. You know, big, over-the-top one-dimensional characters. It will be a good first show for me to be a part of and I'm very excited.
