Big kids intimidate me.

Just when you thought it was finally over… more auditions! The ones tonight (which I swear will be the last this semester) were for one-acts written by students and, from what I read at the audition, some of the material is pretty good. I’m nervous because I walked into the room to do my monologue and saw that all of the faces watching me looked very familiar. There is a very small pool of people who dominate the theatre scene at PU. Not the production staff of “Musical!”, but another group. I feel like I’ve already auditioned for these few people five times and I’ve been rejected just as many. I don’t know if it’s because they have an image of me in their heads from the very first time they saw me perform, or if they just don’t like me. I have a feeling that it has at least a little to do with the latter, since many of these people are involved with the other major musical on campus right now…the one I turned down a part in so that I could do “Musical!”. I have a feeling not everyone appreciated that decision and it’s going to haunt me slightly. But I did my best, so if they don’t take me, they’re just stupid pirate wenches (see, I’m trying to think positively).
