Audition Summary

Had two audition  last week on the 12th and 13th.  Jumping in with both feeet to the Theatre scene in my  new hometown of Nashua.

Sunday night  I auditioned for  Annie with Actorsingers.  I knew going into the audition process that Actorsingers shows were hard to get into  but  I didn't let the knowledge of this stop me from choosing to audition.   I  was fighting with myself to audition for Grace Farrell and weather or not  it was a good idea to audition for a lead.   I knew that woul be a challenging thing for me but  I am always up for a challenge.  I ended up choosing to primarily  auditon for the ensemble and put Grace Farrell down as my second choice  knowing full well that my chances of getting cast  in that role  were pretty slim.   Overall the audition was pretty easy but  parts of the dance audition were kind of hard.  I openly admit  I am not a very strong dancer.. that could have been part of  the reason why  I wasn't cast because there are  quite  a few big dance numbers in Annie.   I'm still moderately diappointed   I didn't get in  but  I think those feelings will eventaully fade.  I am planning on helping out backstage in some capacity.
Monday I auditioned for  Pirates of Penzance with Stagecoach  Productions. Operetta is not my strong suit at all but  I am pretty open  ended to trying out new things.   Due to lack of familiarity with the show  I  auditioned for  Ensemble.   Overall i'd say it was  a good experience despite the fact I didn't get  cast. Based on my prior experience with auditioning for Gilbert and  Sullivan shows  (H.M.S. Pinafore senior year of high school) I know  this show was going to be a challenge to get into especially  since.... as I mentioned operetta is not my strong suit..

  I think my biggest regret about the Annie audition was  putting myself  under so much  preasssure to audition for Grace Farrell.   I knew way in the back of my mind that I wasn't going to get the part but  I figured why not audition for a lead anyway... you only live once!! :O)

Future of This Blog

 Don't really get on blogger anymore except when I need to update  in the Princess K.I.M  blog which hasn't really been updated lately but will be  more often soon since things will be starting to pick up for our production in the fall.

 As followers know this blog moved over to tumblr in February.  I have found that  I have gained a much stronger following on tumblr than  I did here on blogger so I am  there to stay.  I will keep this blog  so  I can go back and reference my  past reviews..   I struggle with writing reviews for plays lately so  it's good to look back at my past reviews.  Most of my reviews thesse days  have been summaries of the plays with random commentary thrown in.  I know I  can do far better than that.

As far as the future for this blog   I honestly do not know where it will go.    My interest in American Idol and Glee has dwindled in the past year so there will be  not a lot of commentary on that anymore.   The primary focus of this blog was mostly to  document my Milford Cabinet articles and  my   job status for them is on an as needed basis so I am not writing as many articles for them  at the current time.  However  in February  I did get a new  freelance job at Manchester Community Theatre Players which  will have an article coming soon for thier fall show Fiddler On The Roof. Congrats to all my friends from Oklahoma who got into Fiddler... so excited for you guys!! :)

I have two auditions coming up on the 12th and 13th for the fall producitons at Actorsingers (Annie) and Stagecoach Productions (Pirates Of  Penzance)   Nervous and excited for both. Let's see where casting  will lead me.  I think if I get cast in both shows  it will be very hard to balance my schedule. I am working two jobs right now and am also hoping to either join the Souhegan Valley Chorus or  the Stagecoach Women's Chorus.   I don't want to spread myself too thin that's for sure.  Whatever ends up  happening  I look forward to it extensively. :)
