The Music Man is up and going well. We have a sold out show this coming Wednesday so that should be exciting! I love having a place to go and people to see nearly every day. What a sense of purpose it gives! I love my cast. My heart is going to break later this month. I hope I'll have another show to look forward to by then!!

I had a callback for this show called Fat Camp @ NYMF this Saturday. It was funny, my long train ride, a 5 minute call and then a long train ride back for the show but sooo worth it. Everyone was extremely nice. I met a woman while waiting for my appt who had played the role we both were auditioning for a few years ago at the reading. She was nice too!  I had never had an appointment callback before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was an interesting experience! I want to do this show soooo badly, but I'm concerned that I didn't do my best because I was so nervous, but you know what? All I can do is move on to the next thing and cross my fingers!!!

Ok, so I am new to this NYC audition thing. I've gone on probably 7 auditions in NYC total so I still am trying to figure out what I'm doing. All I can say is bless the souls that do open calls week after week. My soul has died from going to the Beauty and the Beast call yesterday where 300 something women scaled and belted their way in the goal of achieving a few select roles in a non-union tour. The bar cut was 8 from the beginning seeing as there were so many people there and they didn't want to type. I've never hoped to be typed out but part of me wishes I was at this call. It was the fastest audition I had ever had. I don't even really remember it, but all I sang was "I was unwise with eyes unable to see" and I was done. Hey, it was 8 bars. Apparently it may have been cut time. I still need to look up what that was. It was fine. The only thing that bugged me as that they didn't even look at me. That kinda stung. I kind of felt like they felt I was wasting their time. I left feeling low. I know them's the breaks, but I think the breaks are mean. In OTHER news I totally saw Natalie Weiss and she somehow knew who I was and I was like that is crazy and I should have said OMG I know your lover Shelly Bort, but I didn't. I am special like that.
